“This is to inform all Catholic faithful and the general public that the said self-acclaimed Roman Catholic group at Ibagwa-Nike is not in communion with the Universal Catholic Church led by the Holy Father, Pope Francis with its universal see and government in Vatican City, Rome,” the diocese said.
The Catholic Diocese of Enugu has raised the alarm over the alleged existence of a fake Catholic Church in Enugu State, South-East Nigeria. The diocese said the group, according to their signpost, claimed that they were members of Old Roman Catholic, adding that the said church did not participate in apostolic succession.
