Pope Francis Demands ‘Total Obedience’ In Scathing Letter To ‘Renegade’ Nigerian Catholic Priests
Pope Francis has issued an ultimatum to the priests of the Diocese of Ahiara, giving them 30 days to write a letter promising absolute obedience to him.
In what is perhaps the most strongly worded address of the Francis pontificate, the Pope blasted a group of Nigerian priests who have rejected the papal appointment of their bishop to the diocese of Ahiara, comparing them to the “murderous tenants” spoken of by Jesus in the gospel.
“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Pope Francis has amazingly written in a single letter everything you need to know about the Vatican and the Roman Catholic system. Some Catholic priests in Nigeria have decided to start thinking for themselves, and this ‘traitorous act’ was greeted with swift denunciation from the unholy, childless “father”, Pope Francis. In this letter he 1). demands total obedience of the priests to himself, 2). demands they worship the “holy mother”, and 3). tells them to write a letter to beg his forgiveness or “suffer the consequences”. Think I’m kidding? Click here to read the full letter on the official Vatican website.
The Pope goes on to describe the priests’ offense against the Church as a “mortal sin,” demanding that each one write a personal letter of apology manifesting “total obedience to the Pope.”
This act of rebellion goes beyond “tribalism,” Francis said, and is rather “an attempted taking of the vineyard of the Lord.”
The Ahiara diocese has been embroiled in controversy ever since 2012, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed Peter Okpaleke as its bishop, an appointment that was reportedly opposed by “lay people and priests of the diocese.”
Members of the local church have demanded a bishop from the Mbaise region, like their former bishop, the late Victor Adibe Chikwe, who came from Mbaise and was accepted as a “son of the soil.”
In 2013, Pope Francis appointed Cardinal John Onaiyekan as apostolic administrator of the diocese but no resolution to the crisis has been found.
Now, Pope Francis has issued an ultimatum to the priests of the Diocese of Ahiara, giving them 30 days to write a letter promising absolute obedience to him along with the acceptance of their appointed bishop. Priests who do not write a personal letter imploring the Pope’s forgiveness will be suspended from the priesthood.
On Wednesday, Pope Francis received a delegation from the Diocese of Ahiara, which included the Archbishop of Abuja and the apostolic administrator of Ahiara, Cardinal John O. Onaiyekan, along with a number of other Nigerian prelates and diocesan staff.
In the text of his address, released on Saturday by the Vatican, Pope Francis says that the behavior of the Ahiara clergy reminds him of “the parable of the murderous tenants, of which the Gospel speaks, that want to grasp the inheritance.”
I think that, in this case, we are not dealing with tribalism, but with an attempted taking of the vineyard of the Lord. The Church is a mother and whoever offends her commits a mortal sin, it’s very serious. However, I decided not to suppress the Diocese. Instead, I wish to give some indications that are to be communicated to all: first of all it must be said that the Pope is deeply saddened. Therefore, I ask that every priest or ecclesiastic incardinated in the Diocese of Ahiara, whether he resides there or works elsewhere, even abroad, write a letter addressed to me in which he asks for forgiveness; all must write individually and personally. We all must share this common sorrow. In the letter
1. one must clearly manifest total obedience to the Pope, and
2. whoever writes must be willing to accept the Bishop whom the Pope sends and has appointed.
3. The letter must be sent within 30 days, from today to July 9th, 2017. Whoever does not do this will be ipso factosuspended a divinis and will lose his current office.
This seems very hard, but why must the Pope do this? Because the people of God are scandalized. Jesus reminds us that whoever causes scandal must suffer the consequences. source
“Whoever was opposed to Bishop Okpaleke taking possession of the Diocese wants to destroy the Church,” Francis said. “This is forbidden; perhaps he does not realize it, but the Church is suffering as well as the People of God within her. The Pope cannot be indifferent.”
In his speech, the Pope praised the “holy patience” demonstrated by the bishop during these four years. He also states that he had considered “suppressing the Diocese,” but then thought that “the Church is a mother and cannot abandon her many children.”
Francis also suggests that the priests of the diocese “are being manipulated even from abroad and from outside the Diocese.”
“The Church is a mother and whoever offends her commits a mortal sin, it’s very serious,” Francis said, before laying out his ultimatum to the priests.
Every priest or ecclesiastic of the Diocese of Ahiara, Francis said, must “write a letter addressed to me in which he asks for forgiveness; all must write individually and personally. We all must share this common sorrow.”
In the letter, he continued, the priests “must clearly manifest total obedience to the Pope,” and “must be willing to accept the Bishop whom the Pope sends and has appointed.”
“The letter must be sent within 30 days, from today to July 9th, 2017. Whoever does not do this will be ipso facto suspended a divinis and will lose his current office,” Francis said.
“This seems very hard, but why must the Pope do this?” he continued. “Because the people of God are scandalized. Jesus reminds us that whoever causes scandal must suffer the consequences.” source

Trump Attempts To Purchase A Republican Midterm Victory With A ‘$5,000 Dividend Promise’ Paid For By The Same American Taxpayers He Is Asking To Vote
Where Are The DOGE Checks, Tariff Rebates, $2 Gas And Cheaper Groceries Donald Trump Promised Before Unveiling His New $5,000 Dividend last night?
Donald Trump has returned to the political stage with yet another spectacular promise of free money, this time pledging a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” to every American adult—but only if Republicans retain control of Congress in November. That is not an economic plan; it is an election-year cash inducement with Trump’s name stamped across it. Washington is already drowning beneath more than $40 trillion in debt, yet Trump is dangling a payout that could cost approximately $1.3 trillion without explaining where the money will come from. The message could hardly be more blatant: give Republicans your vote, and Trump says he will give you a check purchased with your own tax dollars. Now we see Donald Trump for who he really is, a shameless conman who will say anything, do anything, and promise anything to retain power. Please see the following 9 unfulfilled promises he has made over the past 18 months.
“I said in my haste, All men are liars.” Psalms 116:11 (KJB)
But before Americans begin spending this imaginary $5,000, perhaps we should ask what happened to all the previous promises. Where are the DOGE dividend checks? Where are the tariff rebate checks? Where is the 10% cap on credit-card interest? Where are the dramatically lower interest rates, cheaper groceries, lower electricity bills and $2 gasoline? Wait, I know! 4D Chess and the Art of the Deal!
| I’M STILL WAITING FOR… | |
|---|---|
| 1 | THE DOGE DIVIDEND CHECKS |
| 2 | THE TARIFF REBATE CHECKS |
| 3 | LOWER ENERGY PRICES |
| 4 | THE 10% CAP ON CREDIT-CARD INTEREST |
| 5 | DRUGS THAT ARE “1,000–1,500% CHEAPER” |
| 6 | $2-A-GALLON GAS |
| 7 | CHEAPER GROCERIES |
| 8 | LOWER INTEREST RATES |
| 9 | A “GREAT HEALTHCARE PLAN” THAT ACTUALLY BECOMES LAW |
Trump attempted to bribe the American people, with our own money, last night by promising us a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” if the GOP wins the House and the Senate. He never mentioned the previous $2,000 and $5,000 checks he promised and never delievered on. Truly shameful. He has… pic.twitter.com/GQ5lo9CsBK
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) September 10, 2026
This has become the Trump political formula: announce something enormous, attach his name to it, dominate the headlines and then move on before anyone asks whether it ever happened. The check is always “coming,” the prices are always “about to fall,” the healthcare plan is always just around the corner, and prosperity is always one more Republican election victory away. Now, with gasoline averaging more than $4 nationally and working Americans still being crushed by food, housing, insurance and borrowing costs, Trump is attempting to replace yesterday’s unfulfilled promises with an even bigger one. America does not need another campaign-show “dividend.” It needs accountability for the promises already made, and results that exist somewhere outside a Trump speech.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How The ‘Strange Fire’ Of Azusa Street, Oral Roberts And The Charismatic Movement Replaced The Authority Of Scripture Part 1
From Azusa Street To Kathryn Krick: How The Strange Fire Of The Modern Charismatic Movement Replaced The Authority Of Scripture With Signs, Wonders And Seducing Spirits
The modern Charismatic movement began at Azusa Street by elevating supernatural experience above the written word of God. Charles Parham declared tongues to be the evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost; William Seymour carried that teaching into the 1906 Azusa Street Revival; and Aimee Semple McPherson later joined Pentecostal manifestations to celebrity, theatrical production and mass media. After World War II, William Branham popularized the “anointed man” claiming angelic visitations and supernatural discernment, while Oral Roberts transformed the healing tent into a television empire and turned miracles into merchandise through “seed-faith.” What began as emotional manifestations had become a profitable religious industry in which the preacher possessed the anointing, the audience supplied the money and the sick were blamed when the promised miracle failed.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 (KJB)
The counterfeit continued mutating. The 1948 Latter Rain movement announced the restoration of modern apostles and prophets; the Charismatic Renewal carried tongues and manifestations into Protestant denominations and Roman Catholicism; Word of Faith preachers such as Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland turned faith into a force and giving into a formula for prosperity; Toronto and Brownsville normalized shaking, screaming, falling and uncontrolled behavior as evidence of revival; and the New Apostolic Reformation combined restored apostles, private revelation, territorial spirits, deliverance, Seven Mountain dominionism and Christian Nationalism into a global religious network. Through every stage, the same deadly exchange was taking place: “What saith the scripture?” was replaced by “What did you feel?” and the authority of the Bible was surrendered to whoever claimed to possess the newest prophecy, impartation or anointing.
Kathryn Krick is not a strange departure from that history—she is its logical conclusion. Azusa Street now has a smartphone, the healing tent has become a viral video, the prayer cloth has become an online course, and the travelling faith healer has become a social-media “apostle” commanding demons before millions of viewers. From Parham and Seymour to Branham, Roberts, Copeland, Bethel and Krick, the faces and technology have changed, but the spirit remains the same: another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel wrapped in signs, wonders and Christian vocabulary. The modern Charismatic movement promises believers more power while quietly removing the only authority capable of exposing the counterfeit—the preserved, inspired and infallible word of God. The fire that began on Azusa Street is still burning, but Christians had better test the spirits before they call the fire holy. Because it’s not.
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you the strange fire and the counterfeit signs, miracles, wonders and seducing spirits of the Charismatic Movement. This is Part 1 in a series.

Chaplain Turner At The Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center In Florida Wants To Give A Bible To Every One Of The Youths Placed In His Charge
The Doors Are Open At Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center As Bibles Behind Bars Prepares To Reach Young Inmates With The Word Of God
The Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center may officially be listed as a 50-bed facility, but Chaplain Turner tells us that on a normal day he is ministering to somewhere between 60 and 75 young people at a time. These are teenagers as young as 12-years old and young adults who have already found themselves on the wrong side of the law, many of them frightened, angry, confused, and facing consequences they never imagined would come so quickly. But right there, behind locked doors and concrete walls, God has opened a tremendous door for the gospel of the grace of God. Chaplain Turner has asked us to help him put a Bible into the hands of every single youth in his charge, and that is exactly the kind of mission Bibles Behind Bars was created for.
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalm 119:9 (KJB)
A teenager walks into detention frightened, angry, facing charges, perhaps wondering what is going to happen to his life — and waiting there is a chaplain who wants to put a King James Bible into his hands that we provided. With a daily population of 60 to 75 youths and hundreds passing through the facility over the course of a year, this has the potential to become a continuing pipeline of King James Bibles into the hands of young people at one of the most critical crossroads of their lives. Some of these youths may never have owned a Bible, never have heard a clear presentation of the gospel and many have families who have completely given up on them. But God has not closed the door, and neither should we. Let’s flood the Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center with enough Bibles for all of the, come help us!!
