Priesthood, in every mundane and spiritual ramification, is a special calling deserving of respect. Unlike the evangelical new-generation Pastors and ‘Bishops’ and ‘Prophets’ laying claim to doubtful holiness yet harbouring secret dirty past or antecedents, the average Reverend Father of the Catholic fold is an embodiment of ennobling qualities and sound education. Forget about the challenges of celibacy and sex scandals surrounding some of these ordained souls.
Bishop Kukah had sworn to serve Jesus the Christ for the rest of his life. And in doing so he had consciously shunned fatherhood, mundane bliss and other social luxuries associated with mankind. That is enough indication of dedication to life of chastity and service to humanity.
