The alleged insult heaped on the Catholic Church and
the spiritual head of the church, Pope Francis, by Nigerian celebrity man of
God, Rev. Chris Okotie, is not going to die down soon as many Catholic faithful
have taken up arms and have been attacking the former pop star for daring to
say members of the Catholic Church will go to hell.
Even as Rev. Okotie has refused to back down or
apologize for his diatribe, insisting that what he said was “not
out of disrespect but out of respect for the word of God,” the barrage
of criticism he has received has been massive.
Apart from the anonymous attackers, prominent
celebrities have joined in the bout and leading the pack is Toni Payne, the
former wife of singer, 9ice. Though it is not known if Toni Payne is a Catholic
or just lending support to the faithful, she took the maverick preacher and
former presidential aspirant to the cleaners, through her Twitter account.
See Rev. Okotie's tweet:
“Re-Catholicism:
Truth is bitter. It lacks saccharine delights.”
See what Toni Payne wrote:
“Tripple
Oshisko!... smh!”
“It
is very irresponsible as an alleged man of God to insult another doctrine. We
worship one God… preaching Hate yet u call urself a Pastor.”
“I
don’t blame him sha… I blame those attending his church… ur pastor told u God
told him to divorce and u no go find another church? Na so!”
