'We pray that Father Thuc realizes that he is going against God's teachings'

(Baonghean.vn) - A Catholic's opinion on Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thuc's recent actions sent to Nghe An Newspaper.

» Priest Nguyen Dinh Thuc incites parishioners

During Lent, the season of commemorating the death of the Second Person of the Trinity for the sins of the world, every Catholic fervently offers sacrifices, charity, humility, and spiritual rituals so that the death of Jesus will not be in vain. Following the actions of Father Nguyen Dinh Thuc (currently the parish priest of Song Ngoc), in the recent past, many Catholics are not at all satisfied and do not recognize him as a good shepherd.

Father cannot dedicate himself to God with such actions. Because according to Catholics, a pastor is synonymous with charity, humility, not causing disunity, and must know how to take care of the souls of the parishioners.

Besides, the pastor must live a good life, be a shining example of the universal Church's mission to reach non-Catholics so that they can know the goodness, the beauty, the human morality of Catholicism. Priest Thuc is making God's image worse in the eyes of everyone. If Catholicism is practiced as Father Thuc is, what is moral and civilized?

We earnestly hope that the government will establish order so that we can practice our religion in the true sense of a true religion. God teaches us not to hold grudges, not to cause animosity, and to be good we must pray for everyone and every family to enjoy happiness and peace. But Father Thuc encourages acts that disrupt social order, which is truly shameful.

A priest who not only goes against the teachings of God and does not take care of the duty of a priest to celebrate Mass fervently, but also goes against the interests of the nation and what the people of God expect. The question is, is priest Thuc really a priest?

Not stopping there, Father Thuc also sent out messages everywhere, hoping that everyone would join in prayer and support the priest's actions. We also received those words of communion at our parish church, but this time we are determined to uphold God's laws, absolutely not to be violent, not to listen, we will pray for the priest to soon realize that the things he does are against God's teachings.

Nguyen Dinh Thuc incited people from Quan Lang parish (Anh Son) to cause trouble in Yen Khe (Con Cuong) from July 1-2, 2012.

Dear Father Thuc:

We, the people of God, have not forgotten that wherever you went, you spread hatred. When you were in charge of Quan Lang parish, you brought Quan Lang parishioners to act as a shield to cause trouble in Con Cuong. When you went to Dong Lam (Hung Son, Anh Son), you forced people to contribute to build a tea factory, saying it was owned by the Church. Why would a priest do business?

Returning to Song Ngoc parish (Quynh Luu), you incited people to join in filing lawsuits, causing trouble, and resisting law enforcement officers. What you did was not in accordance with God's will, and was not in accordance with the role of a pastor. Don't you feel ashamed?

Before the Lunar New Year, the priest went to Dong Lam parish and gave the youth 100 T-shirts with fish bones printed on the chest and back, but no one wanted to wear them. Because they found them offensive, not in line with the spirit of someone with the mission of spreading the good news. They did not wear them and only used them for cleaning the house, cleaning cars, and cleansing.

Father Thuc, we are also closely following the situation. Where you go, what you do, who you receive money from to harm the country and the people of God, we all know. Please wake up so that we do not have to go to prison to visit a pastor. What you are doing deserves severe punishment. For Catholics, it is hell for those who betray God of Love.
