Catholic Priest apologises for singing King Paluta's 'Aseda' in church

Acting Rector of St. Stephen Rectorate in Bodomase, Rev. Fr. Peter Kusi Twumasi, has issued a heartfelt apology following the circulation of a viral video in which he is seen singing the secular song 'Aseda' by King Paluta in church.

In the video which made waves on social media, the rector was spotted singing the hit song much to the delight of the congregation which joined him in singing and dancing to the song.

The video was met with mixed reactions on social media with some netizens giving the song a pass due to its ‘Gospel-like’ lyrics while others criticised the act due to the song being secular.

In a letter addressed to Rev. Fr. Bernard Antwi-Bosiako, Representative of the National Liturgical Commission on August 13, 2024, Fr. Twumasi expressed deep regret for his actions, acknowledging that he allowed secular influence into a sacred setting.

He apologised to the Bishop, the Diocese, the National Liturgical Commission, and the entire Catholic community for any offence or scandal caused and stated that his intention was never to disrespect the Church's traditions or faith.
