Why Rev Fr. Patrick Henry Edet Resigned As Roman Catholic Priest.


  

 "From Today Henceforth, I cease to be a Catholic Priest, in my spirit and in my soul... I forgive those who will criticize me, I live for God...I seek freedom for my soul. As I leave, I leave smiling, I AM SO HAPPY THAT I AM FREE".                                                                                                          

  The above quote was from Rev. Fr. Edet who announced his resignation of planet FM 101.1 radio station where he announced resignation from the priesthood of the Roman Catholic church.  For many of his follower, it was about time, however, that news left Roman Catholic parishioners heartbroken.
Reverend Father Patrick  from his resignation statement revealed that his soul is free now and many wonder, how can you be serving God and still feel trapped? was he trapped? what is the underlying story.
Yours truly went to dig and the revelation gathered suggested that the priest has a ministry; a spiritual call of some sort and he is so vibrant and passionate about it that the mission was no longer comfortable as it is against their manner of belief. He possessed what we can term the Pentecostal spirit . He preaches on radio and Television in the Pentecostal manner. He has been battling the rejection and criticisms until he could no longer manage it  Also , beyond his manner of preaching, the manner of raising money is also strange to catholic principles and his superiors are not comfortable with the whole arrangement.
