A Nigerian controversial pastor, Abel Damina, has sparked a discussion by expressing the belief that if the Catholic Church actively encouraged its members to engage with the Bible on their own, they would leave the church.

He said, “If the Catholic Church encouraged their members to read the Bible, nobody would be there by now because all the things they are doing will be exposed, so they make sure they discourage them from reading only what the father says is final.”
Pastor Abel Damina, who also criticized the Holy Communion, claimed that Catholics are not equipped to engage in meaningful biblical discussions.
While emphasizing that his remarks were not an attack, he stated that he aimed to “shed light” on the matter.
