Catholic bishops in Ghana have expressed their concern over what they have described as a \u201cgrowing culture of insults and disrespect\u201d among the Ghanaian people.<\/p>\n

In their December 17 Christmas message, the Catholic prelates under the umbrella of the Ghana Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference have sighted the country\u2019s political arena as worst affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as bishops are \u2018alarmed\u2019 by the unfortunate growing culture of disrespect and insults in Ghana, especially in our nation’s political arena and so wish to call on all our politicians and indeed, all citizens, to endeavour to put an end to this rising phenomenon,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

The bishops also expressed their disappointment following the recent chaos that erupted in parliament during the presentation of the Government Budget and Financial Statement for 2022.<\/p>\n

The bishops implored lawmakers in the coming year to put the interest of Ghana first above all other individual and parochial interests when debating issues of national importance in parliament and desist from such actions in the future<\/p>\n

The bishops in their Christmas message also highlighted the issues among them misleading prophecies and utterances, accidents, and ethnic conflicts which they described as \u201cevents which run contrary to the peace that Christ brings to all humanity and to our nation\u201d.<\/p>\n

They said: \u201cWe are also gravely disturbed about the resurgence of the age-old Bawku conflict, which resurfaces at every least instance of disagreement.\u201d They called on all who incite all forms of ethnic violence \u201cto stop their machinations\u201d.<\/p>\n

In their message signed by bishops\u2019 conference president, Archbishop Philip Naameh, they said: \u201cThe peace which Christ brings to us and which all of us desire cannot be experienced if false prophecies and prophetic utterances continue to be entertained in our country as the new norm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years especially the season of Christmas leading to the new year. there have been too many false prophecies made, of which some have created fear, panic and tensions in our society,\u201d said the bishops.<\/p>\n

In the light of these experiences in previous years, the bishops called on all Christian ministers in the country \u201cto desist from giving false prophecies and from other such practices which only tend to discredit the Christian church and the Gospel of Christ\u201d.<\/p>\n
