I have been following the timely messages of our father since the Lampadussa incidence. I admire his reasoning and knowledge of multiple languages. He is a valuable asset and can play a great role in uniting our people. May God give him long age.
Besides changing tactics of attacking one religion at a time that the dictator was getting away, his hatred of any philosophy or religion began in the field decades ago using uneducated elements to thwart others.
The story emanates from the day he was kicked out of the University early before he finished first year. That inferiority complex that he internalized was changed when Jebha sent him to china for what ever reason,
The slighting of Orthodox church began in early struggle. It was mentioned at some point by Ato Weldeab Woldemariam during visit to the field from Italy.
The bluffing that he acts he knows all emanates to cover his failure to master one. In that respect, he had to condescend every belief and profession.
Failure to comply his uncanny dream is an invitation for re-education of his paradigm was by incarcerating individuals.
As the style of his leadership was glamorized by many of those who failed to reckon his malicious intention were almost all less educated. They became his guardians and ardent supporters to continue and strengthen his ethos.
Unfortunately easily brainwashed by the political education of the time, it become the enemy of Orthodox church as an easy target simply because it belonged to them. They were free to openly condescend it and disrespect its leaders.
The result is what we see today.
Bishop Mekarios, though it seemed a bit late, your courage and wisdom was inspirational and thank you. I hope others will follow suit.
The dictator would inevitably one day end into the garbage bin of history. God knows when.
H.G. Bishop Mekraios is one of the few theologians in our time. Not just for the Eritrean Orthodox Church, but for all the Orthodox Church’s. The area some Eritrean priest s that have problem with HG bishop Makarios, but they just do not know about a thing when they speak about HG Mekarios. May God bless HG Mekarios.
If highly educated Moslem – Christian theologians gathered our traditional trained religious men and preach them to teach people
that holy book doesn’t prevent us from sharing to eat meat together
in same plate , what do you expect to be their reaction ?
Lack of education leads to fanaticism . In 25 years since independence
we can’t face past backward and unjust mentality because of corrupted
politicians agenda to use it as a tool . And traditional priest could
disrespect highly educated church leaders out of ignorance . But the
blame goes on negligence from politically connected church authority .
Abune Mekarios is very articulate and intelligent teacher. The Orthodox church need more leaders like him.
Thank you for presenting this very important and timely message.
H.G Abune Mekarios;
You know the truth, not only by reason , but also by heart.
Thank you for feeding us spiritual food and message of hope. There is a season for everything. By the grace of Almighty God, we will soon return home.
