Reality TV star and actress, Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has recently disclosed that she has discontinued attending church due to certain reforms made by the Pope that didn’t align with her beliefs.
In the latest episode of her podcast, “Spill With Phyna,” the former Big Brother Naija contestant elaborated on her decision, revealing her strong Catholic upbringing. However, she expressed her dissatisfaction with some of the recent reforms initiated by the Pope, leading her to cease attending church altogether.
Phyna specifically cited her discontent with the Pope’s recent approval for Catholic priests to offer blessings for same-sex marriages as a major factor behind her decision.
In her own words, “I stopped going to Church. Initially, I was Catholic; that was my Church growing up, but things come dey go on. Pope don actually pass different kinds of things then wey no really sit right with me but this recent one of man and man fit come marry for not just any Church but Catholic Church, I just tell myself say no need.”
