Bishop Lodonu laments increasing political polarization

The Most Rev Francis Lodonu, the Bishop of the Ho Diocese of the Catholic Church, said the country was increasingly becoming polarized on political lines and it was becoming nauseating to listen to some radio programmes.

Delivering a Christmas Day sermon at the Sacred Heart Cathedral at Bankoe in Ho, he said radio programmes involving representatives of the two major political parties degenerated into rants with both sides not seeing reason in each other’s points.

Most Rev Lodonu spoke about corruption in the country and said it could bring down the country and added “there appears to be too much suffering in the country.”

He said the Christmas season was for man to reconcile with God but it was only proper that man reconciled with his fellow man before seeking the face of God.
