On social media, a married Catholic priest from Nigeria who has a wife and kids has gone viral.
In contrast to Catholic custom, which dictates that priests should stay unmarried for the remainder of their lives, the now-popular priest sparked outrage after flaunting his lovely family.
The man responded positively when a netizen inquired if he and other priests were permitted to get married.

He said that because he is a Catholic priest and not a Roman Catholic, his own parish is different.
One netizen, gabrielleamakat commented …
“Are you people allowed to marry? And is it the same mass and how do we differentiate the parishes? Do you attend same seminary”
In reaction, he affirmed yes, noting that he is a catholic priest, and not Roman Catholic.
@oboy_jay said: “That’s highly irregular and against Catholic Church doctrine, which mandates celibacy for priests. Your claim raises serious questions about your adherence to ecclesiastical vows.”
@AaJessehalliday wrote: “This priest has committed no crime and has not sinned against God Almighty.
People expect priests to be like Jesus Christ, but let me say this clearly: no one can ever truly be like Him. The Catholic Church needs to lift the ban on priests getting married. Many of them fall into repeated fornication because of this restriction. It’s time to face the truth and make necessary changes.”
@SitoEmmy said: “We know most romantic priests secretly have children, but coming public to say this, nah ?????”
