  • JK 11 years ago

    Merely expressing an opinion on the prevalence or otherwise of gay tendencies in Catholic Church in Africa has made Turkson a 'dirty' Cardinal?

    If this is not an outrage, I cannot think of what is.

  • Nii Ayiku 11 years ago

    These SNAP people are real nuts. If they're really against homosexuals and paedophiles in the Catholic church, why should they name Turkson among dirty cardinals ?

    In Ghana, we are missing real men of God and real Doctors

  • I agree, Kwame 11 years ago

    ...others like Mensah Otabil are good, they do not claim miracles by FORCE

    GHANA WAKE UP......OUR FAKE MEN OF GOD ARE ACTUALLY KILLING THIS COUNTRY.

  • Pito Brewer 11 years ago

    It would not be at all surprising if it turned out that some elements of SNAP are racists and bigots who don't want a black man as pope.

  • Hoho 11 years ago

    white devils will never give power to oor black man.. white people are evils,, i repeat

  • donny 11 years ago

    Hoho, the very people are fighting for will pounce on you right now for calling a spade a spade. They are so brainwashed!!

  • Hoho 11 years ago

    White man will never give a position to black,,even if they do,it is very very scarce,,,,turkson to be taken as a pope is 0.00001% chance.. white eveil is dangerous

    I am Terribly Specific and I always come here to cause confusion. I am fool papa. Every day I no go to work, I go to the cafe and commented foolish on ghanaweb

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 11 years ago

    JK, I couldn't agree with you more. There is no logic in SNAP's inclusion of Cardinal Turkson in the so-called list of worst Cardinals. I assumed SNAP would have said Cardinal Turkson had failed to act on reports of child abu ...

  • Lithur Jones 11 years ago

    Cardinal Turkson himself agrees his fellow Cardinals are riddled with 'paedos' and gays, yet he wants to be their Pope-how how a 'doubled souled!!!' Take the Bible advice:...Get out from among them, Babylon the great..'

    Here you go! Ghanaians are jokes in thinking that Turskson will be given in any serious consideration. His garrulous appearances in the media( very naive of him) which will certainly be used against him undermines his chance ...

  • Nana osei jantuah 11 years ago

    Of course he is right in that the African culture does not tolerate this gay nonsense and as such these cases would be very minimal in Africa

  • Emmanuel Tawiah 11 years ago

    Ghana and Africa will be proud of you, Cardinal Turkson. May the good Lord fulfill his purpose for you.
    Amen.

  • John 11 years ago

    This is nonsense! Just working against others! The Church is NOT for Italians! Please let the Cardinals choose the right people!

  • Mavado 11 years ago

    Cardinal Turkson has been favoured by the media and this is sure to work against him. What happened to Archbishp John Sentamu of the Anglican Church being its head? If the colour of the person is black then forget it. The nex ...

    Let us pray for Turkson, O Africa ! Let's pray he becomes the first to take a stand against homos and paedos in the Catholic church !

  • Gye Nyame 11 years ago

    But that is our problem in Ghana, when other cardinals are seriously lobbying for the position we are praying. Why on earth were there only Italian popes for many, many years until John Paul 2nd was that God’s will? My fr ...

    LOBBYING AT WORK, NOT PRAYERS.

  • Lithur Jones 11 years ago

    He does not need prayer. He must resign his position if he wants to go to heaven. If at the highest level he is he concords that most of his colleagues are 'paedos' and gays then God help so call 1.2 billion followers!!!

    Just as tribalism in Africa. remember that.

  • yaw boakye 11 years ago

    The story is bad in taste meant to soil the image of the Ghanaian Cardinal. It is the whites who have gay and lesbianism as their culture.
    Cardina with the help of God will win the Pope contest.

  • Extraterrestial/ anti mahama 11 years ago

    P. Turkson got this jinx because he met with an illegitimate president and a gay advocate.
