Catholic Church Supports Adeboye’s Apology on Tithing Teachings
The Catholic Church has expressed support for Pastor Enoch Adeboye, leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, following his recent apology over previous teachings on tithing.
Adeboye, in a notable shift, recanted his earlier claim that paying tithes was essential for entering heaven.
Instead, he clarified that salvation and access to heaven are based on holiness and living in peace with others, rather than financial contributions.
Rev. Fr. Anthony Godonu, Director of Social Communications for the Lagos Catholic Archdiocese, commended Adeboye’s decision to correct his stance.
According to Godonu, the apology was the right course of action, as it aligned with the broader Christian teachings of focusing on spiritual purity and righteousness.
Reflecting on Adeboye’s revised message, Godonu highlighted that the earlier belief about tithing was inconsistent with Catholic doctrine.
He stated, Pastor Adeboye’s decision to recant his message from three years ago, where he suggested that those who do not pay tithes cannot enter heaven, is a positive step.
It shows that he has embraced the light and truth, as John 8:32 reminds us that knowing the truth sets one free.
Godonu emphasized that the Catholic Church has always taught that money is not a determinant for salvation or eternal life.
Instead, the focus is on doing the will of God, following Jesus Christ, and accepting life’s challenges with gratitude.
In the Catholic faith, believers are encouraged to carry their cross daily, recognizing that spiritual growth comes through thanksgiving and praise.
Godonu also expressed admiration for Adeboye, noting that his willingness to publicly correct himself at this stage of his life demonstrates his sincerity and commitment to truth.
He remarked that by acknowledging this, Adeboye is setting a powerful example for others, especially those in leadership, to remain humble and truthful.
The Catholic Church, Godonu said, congratulates Adeboye for embracing the truth and hopes that this moment will inspire more people to focus on the core values of faith, humility, and spiritual devotion.
