Nigeria’s Conciliar Hierarchy Reduces Christ’s Kingship to Partisan Politics
The Pillar portal reports on a July meeting between the Nigerian conciliar hierarchy and Muslim President Bola Tinubu, framing the subsequent public spat between “Cardinal” John Onaiyekan and the presidency as a significant “Church-state clash.” The “bishops” presented a socio-political manifesto demanding “transparent, free, fair, and credible elections” in 2027, while Tinubu countered with claims of economic stabilization. Onaiyekan’s televised critique of the president’s “rosy picture” provoked a governmental accusation of “abuse of clerical privilege” and political partiality. This entire spectacle, hailed by the conciliar press as prophetic engagement, reveals the total bankruptcy of the post-conciliar sect’s claim to be the Catholic Church: it has replaced the social reign of Christ the King with partisan electoral monitoring, the doctrine of the two swords with democratic power-sharing, and the salvation of souls with the management of temporal welfare under a Muslim head of state.
