On the Response to Reno Omokri by Fr Ugwu
What an intelligent and unprejudiced rejoinder to a historical rubbish dressed in a garment of fact! That a person has his name prefixed with "pastor" does not automatically confer on such a person the prerogative of biblical knowledge. Find out where he got such knowledge on the Bible from.
I was not disappointed at all by Mr Reno's so-called exposition of the truth about Catholicism and the Catholic Church titled "Some Facts About The First State Sponsored Church." On the other hand, I was curiously impressed when I read his vitriolic assault on the Catholic Church few days ago. But, I had to rest in the conviction that whoever criticizes a religious practice of another religious body offers himself or herself as a convert waiting to be won if such a person can be lectured without sentiment about the truth. I think Mr Reno is trying to come back home but he just does not want to come without some hard convictions.

Catholic Priests and Religious are always on ground to answer your questions about Catholicism and the Catholic Church. Don't just get the truth from just anybody,get it from the authority.
I must admit that it is very difficult to become a priest of the Catholic Church. In my diocese alone, the Catholic Diocese of Otukpo, one will need to spend one year in the Novitiate (used to be at the Bishop's House, I don't know about now), one year in the Spiritual Formation's House (used to be in Aliade), that is a total of two years. If one comes out successfully, then one proceeds to the Major Seminary-St Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary, Makurdi or any other Catholic Seminary where one is expected to spend 8 years studying for two Bachelor's degrees, first in Philosophy and then in Theology. This is not to mention the one-year Apostolic work before the completion of one's Philosophical studies and another one-year pastoral work before one's Theological Studies. Interestingly, that a Seminarian has successfully bagged the the two degrees in Philosophy and Theology is not even a guarantee that he is going to be ordained a priest, hence, he knows when he goes into the Seminary, but he doesn't know when he is coming out. So you see why I respect Catholic Priests and Religious?
Ask them about Catholic practices and true Christianity if you are confused.
