No discussion on Bishop Malingo?

[Ogo_nwa_maria]

I am actually sitting in front of my system sad and depressed. I had a news on Bishop Malingo and his new book yesterday so i deceided to goggle and read more and right now i have gotten myself depressed. I thought i will find a thread discussing it here but to no avail.

I don’t even know what to say about the whole thing. Can someone just give my a blunt view of what really went wrong, someone who has been following the story all along. I used to love him so much back in his ministry days.

HELP!

Yes, his situation is very sad. I do not know what to say about it.

Here is a bit of background for those unfamiliar with the news about Archbishop Milingo:

Excommunicated Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo denied that he is setting up an alternative church, as he appeared at a press conference in Rome to launch his autobiography-- entitled, ironically, Confessions of an Excommunicate.

The African prelate, who is visiting Rome for the first time since his excommunication in June 2006, told reporters that there is “no contradiction between marriage and the priesthood.” He vowed to press his campaign for an end to the discipline of clerical celibacy, saying that married priests “have the right to remain in the Catholic Church.”

Archbishop Milingo was excommunicated after he ordained married men as bishops, in defiance of the Holy See. He announced plans to ordain five more bishops in the United States. Yet he maintained that he does not wish to split the Catholic Church. “I do not want to create another church,” he said.

Archbishop Milingo, prior to his excommunication, married a woman in a mass ceremony presided over by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

ONM,

There is not much more to say to it. Milingo is just another in a long list of deluded souls who have opted for rebellion because they are convinced they know better.

I really don’t believe that his movement will go anywhere or have much fruit.

I would be interested in hearing more about how things are going in Nigeria!
