The Catholic Church has banned the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, from making comments on politics, according to The Cable.
Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Callistus Onaga, in a letter to Mbaka also converted the Adoration Ministry to chaplaincy.
Following this development, Mbaka will no longer solely oversee the activities of the ministry as its spiritual director.
Making it chaplaincy brings it under the control of the Enugu Diocese and gives the bishop the power to appoint a chaplain to oversee its operations.
The bishop further stated that he can appoint any ministerial officer “to assist the chaplains to oversee the pastoral activities of the ministry.”
These directives were announced following Mbaka’s resumption to church activities of the ministry which was suspended following his one-month private retreat.
