Chris Okotie Is Ignorant – Most Reverend Martins, Catholic Archbishop Of Lagos

In a recent interview Pastor Chris Okotie emphatically said that the Catholic Church perverts the gospel of Christ. He said the Catholic Church puts Mary above Jesus Christ who should be the saviour. What do you make of this?

I believe that that kind of statement could only have come from an ignorance of what the church believes in and ignorance of what the Catholic Church professes. I will not like to believe that it was an act of ill will, but rather an act of ignorance. For that reason, it is only appropriate that people should seek to understand what others believe, not from their own point of view but from the point of view of the believer.
