OKOAMPA HAS NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT RACISM, BECUASE HE IS A TRIBAL BIGOT. YOU HATE OTHER TRIBES, SO WHAT IS WRONG IF A WHITE PERSON IS RACIST? YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE, OKOAMPA.

When I first read the article I rebuked the racist comment made by this Ratzinger. And for the Professor to pick it up and criticize it on the web page is laudable.

Well Said Prof!!

Bush- boy community college teacher,

It is obvious that you have grown tired of your insane articles based on political tribalism which you serialised as The Road to Kigali !

I have been away. did you reach Part 100 ?

Will you put the series into a book for your unfortunate students who may be just a little bit more unlettered than yourself with your kuraseni English ?

Maybe you just got bored and realised theatre Ghanaians are not at war with each other. Most of them would not even recognise your Kyebi if they saw it!

Now we see you have had a biblical Road to Damascus experience like St Paul himself. You have discovered Christianity and the church.

Much better than your mindless and useless political tribalism which has got you absolutely nowhere .

I personally found the analysis in the author's article quite positive.
Let us all use this platform to educate ourselves.
Thank you.

Thanks folks. As a gay advocate and I won't like to discuss any issue regarding the sexual orientation of priests.

Prof, as I am not a Sun reader and did not also read the Ghanaweb report or what Rev Georg Ratzinger said so I had to search for it after reading your article. I agree with you absolutely that what older brother of the retiring Pope said is racist.

On a lighter note, like the previous commentators, the beauty and power of this article are such that, you write a billion times better when the subject matter is not on Ghanaian politics. Can we read more of this from you?

I think what is impressing readers this time is the message from Ahoofe but his style is tense and bombastic. If he should learn to be a bit more simplistic and not to be caught up in verbal tautologies to get his message through,then we will begin to take him serious.

Kweku Ahoofe, You've certainly nailed the subject with a touch of intelligence. Well said bro! The guy's arrogance and ignorance has been so obvious, and if this clergyman has shame he might have buried his head between his ties by now. Interestingly enough this man is a European and I wonder how experienced he is if could shoot his feet into his mouth in this manner. Or this form of showcase is what he calls "Experience"? Good god! if this is how the European experience has boiled down to, then the world has a case to strip them off any leadership. Else we are all doomed.

The latin Americans have a much richer history with the Catholic Church. African are still relatively new to this Church. Therefore a latin american deserves to become the next Pope than a Jonny come lately African.

AFRICANS ARE NOT RELATIVELY NEW TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.THERE HAD THREE AFRICAN POPES(I THINK THE 9TH, 32ND AND 49TH POPES)WERE FROM THE NORTH.THE GREAT DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH ST AUGUSTINE WAS FROM NORTH AFRICA. GO AND READ ABOUT THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH AND PHILIP(A DISCIPLE OF JESUS)IN THE BIBLE (ACTS OF THE APOSTLE 8:26-40). DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON WHEN CHRISTIANITY REACHED THE AMERICAS AND YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT YOUR COMMENT "AFRICAN ARE RELATIVELY NEW TO THIS CHURCH" IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

priesthood is not a sexual orientation
to be compared with other sexual orientations. a priest has only one advocate. leave them out from such useless talks. people should deal with their own headaches.

We should not waste our time writing about election of an African Pope. This is not possible.

Many have Ph.D and they don't parade themselves around to be known. Some people like Akoampa-Ahoofe feel they must write anything in order to be popular. Nonesense.
