During the Lenten season, a Catholic priest has counseled believers not to take part in the Hallelujah Challenge.
He said catholics should refrain from using “Hallelujah” during this time because they view the Lenten season as a serious time for mourning, and Hallelujah is a word for celebration.
Given that Lent and Nathaniel Bassey’s Hallelujah Challenge coincide, a Catholic priest used his Facebook page to address Catholics.
The priest wrote: “As a Catholic following the ‘Hallelujah Challenge’ during Lent is a big caricature of your baptism, Confirmation, all the Holy communion, masses and Rosaries you have ever done.
“It is an insult to your faith and a testament of your faithlessness
“Is the ‘Hallelujah Challenge’ bad…? Ofcourse not!!!
“However, if you are Catholic, you shouldn’t be caught with ashes in the morning and at night time Halleluia is on your lips.
“Catholics fast from HALLELUIA during Lent.
“‘If you want be a Catholic be a full-time Catholic’ Blessed Michael Iwene Tansi.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
