A Nigerian pastor, Abel Demina has claimed that if the Catholic Church encourages its members to read the Bible, nobody will be there.
The Television Evangelist, disclosed this in a recent viral video on X, sighted by Media Talk Africa on Monday.
He alleged that the Catholic Church discourages worshippers from reading the bible.
“If the Catholic Church encouraged their members to read the Bible, nobody would be there by now because all the things they are doing will be exposed, so they make sure they discourage them from reading only what the father says is final.
He said that Catholics cannot engage properly in the biblical discussion, claiming he is not attacking the Catholic church but exposing them.
Meanwhile reacting, a Catholic Clergy, known as Father James A on X, on Monday described the comment by Demina as laughable.
According to him, the Catholic Church has remained solid despite “relentless ideological attacks”.
“Abel Damina claims he’s exposing the Catholic Church, and I couldn’t help but smile.
“A Church, since her foundation at Pentecost, has endured centuries of persecution, heresies, internal and external wars, and relentless ideological attacks, yet still stands as the authentic custodian of the Gospel’s truth and its interpretation – being “exposed” by Abel Damina? I can’t help but laugh in Greek”, he stated on X.
