The bishop cautioned that the church should be utilized for prayer and obeying God’s Word, not for political ambitions or private interests.

“It is thus disrespectful to use the church as a platform for any other agenda,” stated the bishop in the message.

Additionally, he condemned anyone who notified church officials in advance that they would be attending Mass, arguing that they shouldn’t be given preferential treatment.

Notifying church officials in advance of their plans to attend Mass on specific days and times suggests that they are requesting preferential treatment, and they shouldn’t be commended for it. First and foremost, a priest or any other church official who disregards this instruction will be held personally responsible. he warned.

Instead of using churches and becoming politicized as fronts for money laundering, the bishop asked the church to pray for peace.
