Ayah has finally reacted to the resignation of charismatic radio
evangelist and founder of the Grace Family, Rev Fr.. Patrick Edet
from the clergy of the Catholic Church .
In a letter written officially by the Bishop in response to the
purported resignation of Rev Fr. Patrick Edet, a great attitude
copy of which has been forwarded, with an attachment of the said
resignation letter to the Pope in Rome, the Uyo Catholic Bishop
says, he awaits further reaction from the Pope on the matter.
In the meantime however, Bishop Ayah announced the withdrawal of
all privileges and disssiciates the Catholic Church from the
activities of Rev Fr. Edet and forbade all Catholics from
associating with him.
Rev Dr John Ayah, in the release which was read at St Patrick
Catholic College, Afaha Inang ,Uyo and other parishes, implies
that, any Catholic who attends his programs henceforth risk
sanctions while awaiting official reaction from the Pope
Francis.
The Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, Rev Dr John Ayah’s message
is dated 12 August, 2017.
A cathechist of the Church who spoke to yours sincerely on the
matter said, all the comments on social media about the matter are
misplaced and misleading as they don’t know the gravity of the
matter. You don’t just quit the Priesthood of Catholic church like
that.
His words, “Let those who make useless comments on social media
continue,the Catholic church is a church guided by discipline and
no form of rebellion of any kind shall be entertained. Even when
Barr Enoidem resigned his appointment as a commissioner to contest
election as legal adviser of PDP, he later returned to the cabinet
because of course his resignation letter was rejected by his boss,
Governor Udom Emmanuel and he returned to the cabinet until others
were dissolved.
So until the Pope accepts his resignation letter, he remains
Rev. Fr. Patrick Edet. That is the cross he is bound to carry
,after all, he took an oath to serve the church perpetual”, the
cathechist said.
