Challenges of Catholic Men in the Church and the World

The laity in the Church is composed of men, women and youths. Each contributes their own quota in both the Church and the world. The Catholic men, who are the focus of this paper seemed to be difficult to be organized. Their activities however are felt in various sectors of the Church as husbands, fathers, knights and officials of the church and also in the world as leading members of the decision making bodies of our traditional and civil institutions like the kindred, town union, Igwe-in-Council and government sectors. It is our concern to present the identity and rights of this group of the laity, the theatre for their operations and the challenges before them

Crisis Management in Youth Leadership - an Evaluation of Paul’s teaching in 1 Timothy 4:12

Youths are considered important and cherished in every part of the world. The men, women and youths constitute the lay members of the church with each group contributing its own quota in both the church and the society. However, despite the importance attached to the youths and the fact that there cannot be a happy society without the youths, the Nigerian Christian youths have become victims of neglect and as such are exposed to certain untold predicaments resulting in difficulties in managing the affairs of the youths. This paper examined what youth predicaments are all about, the causes and consequences of these ugly situations. The paper recommended that the youths should not be abandoned, but be directed and educated, according to Paul’s teaching (1Tim.4:12), towards acquiring knowledge necessary to face the challenges in the leadership cadre for the teaming population of the Christian youths in our contemporary Nigerian society

The Jurisprudence of the Tribunal of Roman Rota as Precedents to the Local Church Tribunals

The Apostolic tribunals especially the tribune of the Roman Rota is charged with the unity of jurisprudence and the responsibility to oversee the proper administration of justice since the doctrine of judicial precedents do not exist within the canonical jurisprudence of the local Churches. As such the local Churches must look to the jurisprudence and praxis of the Roman Curia in supplying for an express prescription of law. In line with the above therefore, this paper has discussed the basic issues of the Roman Rota as it is endowed with the status of judicial precedents considered necessary to serve as a guide and orientation for the interpretation of law in the local Church tribunals
