Monsignor Eustace Thomas has called on God to preserve Dominica from what he called “false and angry leaders” who he said have become enemies of Dominica.
He made the call while delivering the opening prayer at a government Diaspora Forum at the State House on Wednesday morning.
“In this time of national unity preserve us from false and angry leaders who, through their greed and lack of patriotism, have become enemies of our country as they do their utmost to cause division and civil disobedience,” he stated.
He said he was grateful that the forum will “encourage our overseas based nationals who are here for our various national celebrations to admire the progress of our country despite global financial challenges, to invest locally in priority areas and also to furnish them with relevant information on these areas that will allow them to promote Dominica and not destroy it through distorted information and false publicity.”
He prayed for “positive and meaningful change to occur, first of all in our hearts and minds and voices.”
“So we came here today after making the significant change in renaming the Melville Hall Airport to the Douglas-Charles airport, to honor two former prime minsters, Roosevelt Douglas and Pierre Charles, genuine leaders and national heroes, who sacrificed their lives for our nation and died in office,” he stated. “Yes Lord, more change will come as next week the Pont Casse to Melville Hall Highway will be given the name of another national icon and well respected regional and international figure the former president Dr. Nicholas Liverpool.”
Thomas called for Jesus’ divine atmosphere to refresh the forum while at the same time calling for the conversion of “disgruntled individuals who are committed to the vilification of innocent people and the tarnishing of our country.”
He asked for blessings on all those who came to the forum in “good faith and open minds, acknowledging the progress of our country despite dishonest media misinformation…”
He prayed that the forum be cordial, devoid of acrimony, double standards and hate.
“May all statements be impartial and apolitical so that when this unique experience will come to an end, all will be happy and privileged to say we have come, we have seen the wonderful things happening here, will enlighten those who have not yet discovered the beauty and the truth concerning good governance and will conquer those who endeavor to distort the truth, orchestrate violence and are committed to instilling fear and hate in our country,” Monsignor Thomas prayed.
A good thing is God that anwsering prayers and not we the pray -ers answering our own prayers.
seriously? no words for this one.

Take a look at this people and ask your religious leaders IS THIS WHERE WE ARE HEADED????
All I can say is that this makes me sick, sick, sick to the stomach!! If I was going to the catholic church, as a matter of principle, I would stop going until such time that this nonsense is no longer tolerated!!
Why do you think, that this ‘alleged’ man of God religiously looks forward to free tickets to calypso shows to see sex sell and vulgarity on stage.
Most of the comments criticising Eustace Thomas for his very obvious politically partisan statements were necessary.. I was shocked that a priest would participate in this kind of conduct
just listen on Q95 on Friday mornings from 10 to 11.30 and you all will hear politics ,and please do the comparism.
I agree, I will continue to listen because it has raised the standards of discussion, analysis and debate by these religious pastors led by Pastor Rodney. I am catholic but will listen to them more than Fr. Thomas who preaches a lot of rubbish and without any sound basis.
Pastor Rodney`s programme is about the principle and the message and not the messenger, so JOY, listen next time intently and learn about values and the principle of good governance and the role of our religious leaders to lead the flock, me and you…AND THAYT POLITICIANS MUST NOT STEAL FROM THE PUBLIC PURSE AND ABUSE AND TAKE POOR IN NEED FOR GRANTED
I am disappointed in Fr. Thomas , he speaks rubbish and is disconnected and is blind politically. Fr. Thomas is NOT a role model, we Dominicans are suffering.
We need a change………
CHANGE IS MUST………..TEAM DOMINICA
Don’t we all need prayers; hence I pray that God will give us ALL a heart of LOVE and so become one nation, a nation to be envied by all other nation.
I was just about to say the Bishop needs to chastise Fr. Thomas to refrain from making those blatantly political prayers…but I forgot he himself was bought and paid for by the Government in power….$500,000.
So he de Bishop living in a glass house he cannot throw stones.
and the Bishop made a promise to resolve Father Reggie situation its going pass a year now nothing new ah magway sa Bishop.
The Gospel according to Belzebub.
By God, do you mean your other icon of worship,’Government of Dominica’ ? Perhaps you should be asking GOD to preserve Dominica from questionable religious leaders. Your sermons have become as cranky as your driving.
Amen! Monsignor Eustace Thomas.
2 Peter 2:1
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them–bringing swift destruction on themselves.
1 John 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
A cult of personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods, to create an idealized, heroic, and at times, worshipful image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Sociologist Max Weber developed a tripartite classification of authority; the cult of personality holds parallels with what Weber defined as “charismatic authority”. A cult of personality is similar to hero worship, except that it is established by mass media and propaganda usually by the state, especially in totalitarian states.

Your point?
God loves all…even the angry ones, Jesus was unhappy with those who overstepped
always remember people God does not like ugly. So all the good man of the cloth has to remember is God Does not like ugly
DNO stop posting such filth and our people stop talking rubbish and we all shall be blessed. When the Grand bay church people took the Bishop matter to be dealt with in their own hands with an ordained Man of God, ask the parishioners the rest??? My people stop, please stop for once and think before you type these vile things on DNO. The world is reading.
Dominicans I call on you. I don’t care who you support but Religious leaders have no right getting involved in politics period!!!!! It’s a disgrace. Your job is to bring the good news of salvation to all… live by the bible, Mark 16:15:
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
When I read how angry the opposition spporters are with the statement of the priest, it confirms that the priest is 100% correct. Your anger proves it. We will know if God answers his prayers when the election results are announced. Would you react as angrily if a pastor with a rod who supports you had made some utterances? Please do not advocate for people to leave the church, as 99.9% of good christians support DLP, so where do you plan to go if not the church, to hell? Just asking.
The most angry leader of all is the Monsignor himself. Listen to his sermons sometimes. His anger comes through even when he is preaching at funerals.
As my parish priest let me say I continue to be dissapointed in you. Your words should be to unite people not to divide them. And that is what you continue to do. Now we know you are from Veille Case and Grandbay so its clear where your loyalty lies. But when you are addressing the people in your capacity as a messenger of God then you should check your tongue.
Mr running people from de church, go and join them on Kairi fm
Father Thomas would Jesus say that? Man look at outward appearances but God look at the purity of all hearts.
I don’t believe no priest pastor or religious person should show which party they support. What a shame!!!!!!!! The church already have so much ma-le that so called priest only adding fuel to the fire and what for the bishop to talk about he keeps quiet. My mind is to write a letter to the Pope or start a petition against these men who should not be partaking in Politics so publicly. Good thing I have a mind of my own and do not need priest pastor etc to go to heaven.
What a damn shame! Mr. Thomas (no longer reverend or monsignor for me) has brought shame on him and the institution he represents. As a past student of the PRESTIGIOUS St. Mary’s Academy ( Smartest Me Around), I was taught that the church should never get involved in politics during civics classes. While I have remained a loyal catholic, I now believe that it is time to become a Christian with no CHURCH affiliation.
I will no longer attend any church service where Mr. Thomas is the celebrant. Not because of his political beliefs but rather due to his disrespect for the moral principles of the church and its teachings. He is no different than the bishop who accepted the 500,000 pieces of silver for silence on the ills of our nation.
Had the church NOT taken the 500,000 pieces of silver they would NOT feel obligated today to support immoral, illegal and despicable activities at this stage in our political process (elections). Shane on Mr. Thomas for disrespecting the church and citizens of Dominica. But Change WILL COME!
Assertive, NOT Aggressive!
The St Alphonsus church is partly empty you can almost get the same seat every Sunday even if you are late. Something is definitely wrong maybe too much politics in there. Parents what can so call leaders like these teach you and your and children?
“encourage our overseas based nationals who are here for our various national celebrations to admire the progress of our country despite global financial challenges”
Basically clerical official advises Diaspora to invest into Dominica.
Lets make small secularization of Dominica economy and look with great sobriety into making business in Dominica:
1. a) Registering property: normally Dominica lawyers charge 3% of property value (lawyer’s fees) + 15% VAT on fees
b) Stamp duty: 1% of property value (assurance fund) + 4% property value (Purchaser’s Stamp Duty) + 2.5% property value (Vendor’s fee) + 2.5% property value (judicial fee)
Total cost of registering property in Dominica: ca 13.3
Total cost of registering in Latin America: 6.1
Total cost of registering in OECD: 4.2.
2. Getting credit for foreign investors is impossible: private and public credit bureaus do not exist. Local retailer do not provide any credit lines etc. Utility companies ask for extra-orbitant security deposits
3. Contract enforcement: in order to enforce contract in Dominica, the investor has to estimate that 36% of cost of claim are transactional expenses: attorney cost ca 20% etc
It takes average 681 day in Dominica to enforce contract
4. Dominica global ranking of making business: 97 and dropped from 94 in 2014
So why on earth investors would like invest in Dominica if business climate is bad and instead of comprehensive administrative reform and liberalization of market…everybody fighting to find out which one is off: red or blue…
This a valid question and it’s about time we face it square on. The fact is that nobody is obliged to invest in Dominica. There is plenty of competition for our dollar outside.
PS. What really pisses me off is officials trying to coerce Dominicans to invest in their own country when they themselves may be hoarding their millions in tax free offshore accounts.
Tus
Put down the robe and contest Roseau North. You are both a Grand Bay and Vieille Case man and both communities have produced Prime Ministers, maybe you should be the next.
On another note you did the same thing when Freedom was in office I don’t expect anything else from you that politician.
Tus, are you aware that you are dividing the congregation since your flock are labarites, freedomites and uwpites. I remembered as a child growing up in St Alphonsus as a stunch catholic in the 1980s many of our congregation members left because of your politicking. Tus it is time you stop that politics you engrossed in.
Good thing God does hear nor answer such vile prayers.
Fr Thomas you just good for those who have the intention of bringing us back to those days when we used to get our salary on the 15th of the following month. We need more brave priets like you, and who vex get lost.
By the addition of value added tax and austerity measures
Dominica has been known as a God fearing country from time immemorial. This is true for whatever religious denomination one wishes to associate with. Thomas is no different than Skeritt. This tatic of polarization by our supposedly leaders should not be accepted. Dominicans irrespective of your faith and christian views you should be appaled by the political speech given by Thomas disguised as a pray. The people from the disaspora who were being addressed should use this so called pray as a guage as to the direction this country is going. Instead of this divisive politcal speech Thomas should have used this opportunity to deliver a message of hope, social justice, uplifting the condition of the poor and oppressed, call for calm and moral upliftment, and finally pray for unity in the country respecting people’s political persuation.
You will notice that I did not use the word Monsignor. In my opinion if Eustace Thomas cannot as a man of God call out wrong whenever he sees it or whoever commits it he does not deserve the title. Thomas you and leaders like you are leading our beloved people astray. You may vote Labour it is your decision, but you need to repent and ask forgivenes from your flock.
I am angry when I see corruption to the bone
I am angry when the justice system has failed
I am angry when I see cocaine go free and 4 oz cheese stealers go jail.
I am anry when murderers are exalted
I am angry when one set eat all
I am angry when a leader has amassed so much personal wealth through illegal means and bribes.
I am angry when the Dominica PM is a pathological liar and religiously attacks humble people, keeps on putting the cart before the horse, and suffers from moral malnutrition.
Did Jesus get angry in the temple?
So clear your concoction Padre. Stop worshiping the devil. Ask God forgiveness and pray against the corruptions. I do.
Look in the mirror you are simply an angry person because of your political jealousy.
That’s the outright truth and the truth usually offends.
Why do we assume that the “angry politicians” remark only refers to Linton? I personally pray all the time to be rid of “angry politicians” because, let’s face it, they all sound angry. The PM, Linton, Austrie, Edison, the young politicians and the older politicians, the educated politicians and the less educated politicians, everybody sounds angry. Not one of them speaks with love or care or concern in their voice. All I hear is a bunch of self-serving words, all trying to out-talk the other.
You can call me stupid and dumb if you want, I don’t care. That is our mode of talk these days. If someone has a different opinion, bam!!, they stupid. Well, even the comments of DNO are angry. so while you there lambasting the priest, just think of how angry you sounding too.
This is why so many people are leaving the Catholic Church.
Thomas your put man before god,your prayer is directly towards Lennox,you should sit Skerrit and Linton down and have a chat with them.your very political as a man of god as you say,but look how much kids the priestwood has damaged over the years,preach against that not Linton,Skerrit will not control dominica forever,his day will come,the catholic chucrch is very corrupt also so i expect that prayer from you.
Eustace Thomas you are so disgusted; please leave the priesthood and go run for political office; you are dividing Dominicans! Stop the hate and pray for togetherness..
What has Msgr. Thomas got on Bishop Malzaire that he allows him to go around and spew venom without hindrance?
There is no gospel of hatred. Indeed the messsage of love is so strong it is enshrined in our colloquial parlance when we say “God is love”, which comes straight from John 4:8:” He who does not love does not know God, for God is love”.
I sense a bitterness in this priest’s heart that will ultimately consume him and if he thinks he is helping Mr. Skerrit’s cause with these utterances he is mistaken for hatred is nothing but a corrosive bile that destroys everything it touches.
I think we are going to have to take a good historical look at the Catholic Church In general we are reluctant to lam bass the Church but since this Monseigneur is going on unchecked by His Bishop we accept that He is in line with the ideology .We have to go way back during the Slavery era and a very ugly picture emerges.This is an organization that was mute during slavery and never spoke against it .As a matter of fact most if not all the Churches in this region were built by slaves.Yes My Mother told me of Her Great Grandmother who showed Her a stone that was carried by one of Her Great Great Great Grandmothers to build the Roseau Cathedral.today the Pope is announcing that imbalance in society is evil but who is one of the richest Men on earth? Why are they so contradictory and why do we always accept them as Gods and never challenge their nonsense?We know of their sexual abuse of Children for hundreds of years yet we remain silent and subservient.Is there something wrong with us? Have we been psychologically kidnapped?Well Senor Thomas be an instrument of God keep misbehaving and cause the people to rise above this organization of oppression and abuse .Thank You for your work!
Father Thomas I agree with you if I was renting my place for $26,000.00 a month and $500,000 for my roof I would pray for my pm too.
I believe its time to report Fr. Thomas and the Bishop to the Pope. Here it is openly a priest is campaigning making all kinds of condemning statements about individuals and the Bishop dont pull him up and disciplines him. Ha but Fr.Reggie with no evidence no confession he could ask him to take administrative leave and when he did not get satisfaction he sent his other accusation straight to ROME. My Dear Bishop we all say we serve God in truth where is your truth, here is an opportunity to show how concern you are about the moral values of the church and you keep turning a blind eye with the continuous degrading of what the church stands for by Fr. Thomas.
Fr. Auguiste was called and warned when the peopleof Colihaut said he was campaigning for UWP in church. Mr. Bishop rememberthe Heavenly Father is watching.
As a little boy, my Mom always warned me about criticizing a priest, therefore, all I will do is to remind the priest of the speech he made concerning the drones.
Good lord… This is a prayer or a speech .. It’s a indeed a very political speech. Such are the statement that bring Dominica down to the drain…. Religious leaders must always do the right thing n speak justice n truth. Religious leaders must never take sides but the side of God…. What was going on with the person saying the prayer… God is always on the side of justice and right…
God never segregates, bring down or castigate. God is not corrupt….
it’s like a huge labour army where those on the government side- sad but true- support anything and are singing for their supper….
Visiting Dominican must challenge the government to do the right n be firm n fear…Not an occasion for statement called a prayer to be heard……… They should have said the Lord’s prayer instead……
Significant change is needed . Religious leaders must respect each n every Dominican n not show favoritism. Truth is to many of these religious folks are singing for their supper…… Dominica needs fearless religious leaders who would challenge the government n opposition….
By the way, prayer is the lifting up of the heart, soul, and Mind to God…it communicating with God. It’s always edifying…….
How would the catholics interpret such a prayer?
Wow, God help Gen Dominique,, n this place where politicians priest pastors n congregations r a happppppppppppppy family for political matters but hardly matters of God…….dat laughable..
Don’t know this minister but he I
Deserves a national award n a crown for man of the year.. Give him a piece of land pond casse n a house ……
clear de WAY LET LABOUR COME!!!!!!!!!!
A certain Lay Minister who was a labour candidate had to step down from religious activities when Mamo was eating at our now PM home.Sharplis ,Thomas and BJ you all know that. Mon Petit would not accept that maybe Brendon.read DT 10:17.That’s what you all are doing accepting bribes.
Read up on Cuba and its take over by Castro.
First thing Castro n his crew did was to infiltrate the churches, knowing that Cuba was a very religious nation, with it’s religious leaders having the greatest influence on the people.
When the church leaders realised what was happening, no longer being in support tried to stand up against Castro ruling, they were all rounded up and imprisoned.
So continue to sing the praises as the priests did in Cuba……continue father….lets see where it takes you….not to heaven, for sure.
i am a devoted catholic but when i hear that man talk i dont feel the spirit mister have to will n come again
Mgsr. Thomas, God does not hear your prayers.
Mgsr. Thomas, you are a scandal to the church
Mgsr. Thomas, I am more Catholic than you are.
Mgsr. Thomas, worship God, not an idol
Mr. Eustace Thomas the Lord of host ,the almighty Jehovah is not a Genie in a bottle so that you could command him to your whim and fancies. I believe that you have forgotten your calling. In fact all I do see is ONE ANGRY PRIEST!!! !
My brothers and sisters, we in Dominica are struggling for good governance, against corruption, for Free and Fair elections, for a better standard of living, for justice, for equality, not only against Skerritt’s DLP in Gov’t, but against a system, institutions, comprising several players.
Mental Slavery persists. Priests, corrupt politicians, professionals aid and abet despots to rule the people. Dominica is no exception.
A senior clergy man, a Monsignor, stoops so low and consistently displays his love for those involved in all kinds of acts deemed to be on becoming of any Political leader, politician or Govt.?
Which Bible does that priest read from? Not the one that condemns stealing, lying, injustices to fellowmen?
But from time immemorial, history has taught us that the hierachy of the churches, have been on the side of the rich man, the plantation owners, the colonial masters, the haves. We are witnessing the same attitudes today of some of our men-of-cloth in Dominica. They are willing, at every occasion, and are bold about it, to revere Massa.
When will that spokesman ever condemn corrupt practices by the regime? He cares not of his own credibility. Could you say that you are a priest following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Whose fools are we?
We are not afraid of the shaking of your siltan (robe). Many are called. but few are chosen.
Your views do not tell the correct story. You have stooped low to debase what the Monsignor stated. Do not distort his words to suit your mentality.
The Bible states, you shall not judge others. Therefore, who are you trying to deceive?
What type of history have you been reading? I resided in D/ca and at no time have I experienced what you are stating about the Hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Many of the poor people whom you describe could vouch for that. You have it all wrong.
Dominica’s standard of living is far better today than it was in those previous years.
Do you think you will be called and chosen? If only you knew God you would not make such a statement. Be careful with your words that as you condemn others you do not condemn yourself.
My friend the priest do have rights like you & I, so his call to preserve this nation from angry leaders must be fully embraced by all who love this country, may god bless & guide you.
That man makes me ashamed to be Catholic. He should resign as pristine a and go join the likes of Lenox laurence
Many have left the church in shame because of this so called priest………….a letter should be written to the vatican. This ‘Man of God’ is celebrating a PM who tells his countrymen to go to HELL. something is certainly wrong with this picture.
Me go to church and say these people will showme the way to heaven. I am too afraid that when I get there is guys like this priest Thomas, bJ, Peter Augustine giving direction.Besides that it have GPS and Google map so I will find my own way papa. Better yet the money that they want me to put in their collection basket I will keep it to buy gas and still have enough to buy a few gifts for god , Jesus and Mary. Maybe a nice little wob dwiyet for Mary and a few Kubuli Beers and some bwa bandais rum for the banquet in heaven.
How blatant can this man Thomas be- this man is arrogant and pompous. If my GPS get me to heaven before those wicked hypocrites I will make sure that Hitler and Idi Amin escort them back down the hill so they can go work in the steel mill.
Whoever appears to be friendly with the PM and speak the truth, all of you hate them. You are the haters. If you judge them for speaking the truth, consider how God will judge you and at this moment. Be careful of stones that you throw for they will be thrown back at you.
You well wrong wii because the Bible never said it was through man you had to get to heaven.You can only get to heaven by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour.OK???
The blind cannot lead the blind.by the fruits you shall know them
What about you? If it were Lennox who spoke or one of the UWP ministers you would praise them. This is how unfair and hypocritical you supporters are. You have depicted this attitude very well.
Simple, this priest has miss his call and should be a politician. He would be right at home.
Monsignor Thomas could not have chosen a better time to call on God to intervene. I wondered why our Religious Leaders were so quiet whilst the crux of the issues affecting us are side tracked whilst our politicians take out me’pwe!!! We have digressed from discussing what the benefits of voting for a particular party are- but instead the debate has generated into mud slinging and very disturbing accusations of rape, plagiarism, who pays for whose ticket when they travel whilst we have some life changing issues which would interest us as a Nation. By the way I believe that if Monsignor Thomas was a politician we would be blessed. Thank you Monsignor Thomas. God bless you. Let us pray.
Bubbles, go and hunt your crabs.
Vatican don’t instruct I.
ok fair enuf, now pray for God to remove those who rob the public purse, and to put them in the bin bobol….
pray for God to seek justice for Mano, before he die…..
Pray for that too…..
after hearing those utterances from a senior priest of my church and no admonishment from my bishop i question wether i still want to remain a catholic.
You don’t have to be. The problem with people like you is that the truth hurts. Gone are the days of being a hypocrite. When the pastor is on Q preaching his anti Skerrit, why didn’t you come out and speak?
the pastor i on Q discussing principles and precept of the scrupture and applies these to the issues of the day.
the pastor on Q lets the chips fall where they may… regardless of who- unfortunately, it falls on those whose hat fit the most…. the DLP
Anonymuous, have you ever listened to the pastor on Q ? If you did you would see that every thing he says is backed up by the teachings of the most high. I am catholic and guess what, not many catholic priest can make that connection between the bible and the ills of society. You must remember that a Christian would be one who walks with the bible in one hand and the news paper in the order. or how else will he be able to apply the realities of the world with the Gospel.
Did you really listen to the prayer of the priest? Although I thought he was praying for Mr. Skerrit, He must not make prayer turn into mapois. AND DONT FOOL US, NO MATTER HOW MUCH LABOR YOU ARE. YOU KNOW THAT HE IS PAYING THE PIPERS FOR HIS TUNE.
It goes to show you know absolutely nothing about your Catholic Faith/Church. Do you think it is a fly by night church? You have much to learn about your Church. What have you learned throughout those years? Where was your mind when you were taught about it?
God gave you a free mind, to be a saint or a devil. You have the ultimatum to choose the path you wish to follow to eternity, Heaven or Hell. No one will be forcing you but yourself.
As a priest he should come out and speak against all the corruption that is going on in the government,
Was Peter R Augustin there?I want to know
Your faith must be very weak for this statement to have that effect on you. Monsignor Thomas is asking us to pray. I don’t belong to any political party and I don’t think he was asking us to vote for any political party. Perhaps this is why I don’t see the problem. I fully support what Monsignor said. Dominica needs prayers. Actually we need to pray for Linton so that he can become politically mature. It is my view that church leaders must NOT stand aside whilst political leaders engage in negative banta which does nothing for us. Well done Monsignor Thomas.
Monsignor Eustace Thomas, why do u hate Linton? Don’t u want to stamp out corruption like Jesus did in the temple, or are u one those he mentioned in Luke 14 26-27!
Some of you are so ignorant that you really do not deserve a response. You have nothing constructive to write therefore you write a lot of garbage which make no sense.
.
Monsignor Thomas spoke and rightfully so. Due to your type of mentality and veiled brains you cannot comprehend what he stated but distort it.
You accuse him of hating. How foolish you are.
You are accusing this government of corruption because you heard others make that statement. Can you prove it? Bring the evidence.
Leave Our Lord and His Words out of this, you blasphemer. You are the one acting as those in the temple. Your words have no power and strength for you are using them wrongly
Did he say he hates Linton? I did not read that there!!! All you hate to hear the truth. Only the Blue people do not see
that there is progress in this country, or all you have memoire poule?!!
False priest!!!! That’s what you are.
God will punish you for he did not state anything that is wrong. You just do not like to hear the truth because he spoke in the presence of the PM. You are digging a hole for yourself.
the bible speak of those men in this days so when it come to pass we shall believe… but God’s elect won’t be fooled. ISIAH 49:26 AND I WILL FEED THOSE WHO OPPRESS YOU WITH THEIR OWN FLESH AND THEY SHALL BE DRUNK ON THEIR OWN BLOOD AS OF SWEET WINE. ALL FLESH SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD, AM YOUR SAVIOR AND YOUR REDEEMER, THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB!!!!!
So this was a prayer? No wonder people say so many things about the Catholic church. It’s because of false prophets like this Thomas priest.
The number of false prophets that infiltrated Dominica and set up their churches why do you not see this and address this issue to them?
The Catholic Church and Its Priests are not false prophets. They speak the truth, the Word of the Lord, what He has taught, commanded and expects of us. They did not distort money from you or anyone.
One day you will pay for your words. So what type of Christian are you?
This prayer,as with all the others uttered by this Thomas priest is just the result of his anger towards the incoming PM LENNOX LINTON.God does not answer the prayer of the ungodly.HOW LONG?.NOT LONG!
Mind that is not the same priest they will call for many of you to give the last rite when the results of the election are in the the DLP retains power!
That Priest? dont think his prayers get very far.
True and they will ask that You sign over Your land title too
When the time comes is only you who and the life you lead, your personal plea to God for forgiveness can save your soul. No amount of last rights when you are unconscious can save you.
You are a joker!
How you can pray for impartiality when in the same breath your prayer is doing the exact opposite? What is wrong with these preachers. Have we not learn from history not to mix the two most explosive institutions. Politics and religion has caused more loss of life than diseases and disasters combined. Please Mr Thomas you are out of order.
Be careful of the double headed monster. You will divide God’s people.
You lack godly enlightenment including blessing and graces to comprehend what he stated.
Si ous te Norway CA ous te que fen. If Bishop get $500000 before ordering god to bless Skerrit how much more will the reward be for making a prayer like that . Just asking.
Ebeh if God really taking time to even listen to fadda Tomasss foolishness well god have too much free time papa. But then how can god have free time for fadda Tomass foolishness when Ebola killing black people and families praying for mercy,ISIS and Asad killing people and the people bawling for god intervention.
Fadda Tomass all you doh tired harass god. Let the man get some rest nuh
Do not touch the Lord’s Anointed. Thanks Father Thomas, the wicked angry people will never prevail in this Blessed land. Their action speaks louder than words. DADDY Chest words, “All Good Leaders Must Bring People Together”. Are we seeing the seeds of division or the seeds of unity and Love. No the opposition has sow the seeds of division! They are calling the needy people, greedy, by going overseas and calling young DA women prostitutes, by calling the aged and marginalize lazy, how do we address these issues. They have insulted us by saying we are part of the Red Clinic. Thank you for your work of mercy.
Do me a favour, Gods anointed?, he should repent for all those wickedness his church has brought on black people especially.
Revelation 2:9
“I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan.”
Who are you referring to? Check out your history and that of your ancestors and present ones. The pot calling the kettle black.
I really would like to know who anointed him?
WELL WELL WELL
i dont think the poor should be greedy and go beg skeritt for even a plane ticket to england.
i dont think the young girls should be so desperate that they sell their bodies to the old ministers.
linton is bringing the people together. getting them out of slavery.
the old wouldnt have to be so needy if their kids could work a decent salary to take care of them.
itss about begging from all angles and we the people who have a head on our shoulders cant take it anymore
Thanks Father Thomas. This was a sincere prayer. You prayed about the exact things that are happening in our beloved country.Power hungry persons are spoiling the image of Dominica by the negative things they say in order to gain power.
I want to agree with you if you mean labour power hungry people. they want to hold on to power by all means. Let them know Dominica does not belong to them. They take enough. give another man a chance, I thank you
Does this also not refer to the previous government and now the one of the same Party which is vying to win the election?
Father Thomas you are use God to bless corruption, lies, theft, victimization and improvising of his people.
The bible said Money is the Root of evil and we are seeing it engrave in your utterance.
Men like you deserve the hottest place in Hell.
You will have to answer to God….
I’m glad you finally saw sense father Thomas ans exposed Roosevelt Skerrit. Thank you.
Disgusted by Eustace Thomas! Is he a priest or a DLP politician??? This is second only to you firing political hot stones at our beloved John Fabien’s funeral. Shame on you!
Thou shall not call the name of the lord in vain.
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Love they neighbor as thyself ( even when thy neighbor is in opposition to the government who buyest thee.)
Thou shall not spread falsehood and propaganda.
Remember these things Mr. Priest. otherwise declare which God ye serve. The one God or the Skeritt God.
Seriously Thomas?????
The ONLY god that will answer this political, religious and greedy payer is the god they erected, worship and works for. We talking about their god jesus SKERRIT. So like those false prophets of Baal, this priest and other religious leaders need to cry much louder because their god might be somewhere in Trinidad, with his apostle Matthew
By his ‘Apostle Matthew’ I was referring to Matthew walter, who called him jesus. So maybe both of them might be in Trinidad praying and putting things in order for next election
Amen brother TOM “preach it”; garcon why all you so hard on the man for, he just preaching the word of god skerrit. To speak the truth this prayer was timely and his words reverend; (WELL ALMOST) This modern day john-d-batiste has the nerve to accuse others of dividing the country; seeking to cause division and civil disobedience; and attempting to destroy Dominica through distorted information and false publicity; committed to the vilification of innocent people and tarnishing our country; and not discovering the beauty of truth concerning good governance; and are committed to instilling fear and hate in our country? Alleluia! Dominica has gotten the cleansing it deserved from the unscrupulous band of deceitful governing politicians; but coming from the mouth of a false prophet it is meaningless. PM the next time you need some meaningful prayer and spiritual guidance for my nation call upon Pastor Randy Rodney to do so; maybe the real GOD will listen and deliver US.
Shame on you Mgn. Thomas for deviating from the truth and preaching politics behind the pulpit.
I know that we as Christians have to pray for our leaders as said in the scriptures, WE have to do it for all sides to keep unity in the society.
Your coded words could be interpreted as though there is a leader who is calling for armed insurrection, which is so far from the truth.
You must be careful Msg. Thomas, because this is the same thing that was done in Rwanda, and we all know what happened after that.
The church is a good stabilizer, but if used wrongly like we are seeing in Da today , it could be the most devastating and polarizing force in any society.
Take heed my Dominicans people,!
.
Dear Lord, please cancel that prayer on behalf our country. He just joking. Cause Lord we saw what happened to the last preacher who prayed like this. Forgive, it’s just money talking. aAmen
Amen
Father Thomas my cousin behave yourself, stop condoning evil behavior because of your love for official recognition and perhaps bling. Remember the Almighty God sees and hears everything and persons like you will be punished more harshly because you profess to be a Minister of the Word.
This priest conscience is snared with a hot iron even while supposedly offering prayers not to Jehovah GOD but his other master has uttered his doctrines of demons once again…Mr priest out of your own mouth God shall judge for this very prayer shall return to you n ur master….Be not deceived GOD IS NOT MOCKED for whatsoever a man sow so shall he also reap. WICKED SOULS!!
Ohhhh Lord!!! I just want to pray for Dominica, and Dominicans… Plz put politics aside! The man is not a priest!! God is going to judge him, even as Elie, and his two sons were put to death by God!!! That’s deshonoring the Almighty God! I feel hurt as a Christain. Be care those who said Amen to this!!! May God bless Dominica… And have mercy upon those who stand falsely in Hus name!!!
I need not say anymore because the DNO commentators have said it all. The man in cloth has failed miserably and should repent, ask forgiveness and stop serving the devil in disguised. Amen?
Well my padna just hack into God’s email and guess where we found that pray? In heaven spam and junk box. My panda also told me that St Michael the Angel had trying to block emails coming from The Augustin preacher, Father Thomas,Sharplis but they keep sending emails that keep backing up the the junk box so some of those prayers ending up in the Inbox and we suspect the 80000 dollar jong keep breaking in heaven inbox. As for the BJ fella heaven set up a big fire wall to block his emails.
Tell me if I am wrong all these so called religious leaders are they not from Vieille Case?
Read Jerimiah Chapter 23.
The BIBLE foretold that in the last days there will be a lot of False Prophets!!!
Iw be praying for you mr. priest,You really need Jesus.
i wonder when people pray ,how do they pray is it that,you only say our father who art in heaven hallow be thy name…Etc.
i mean that’s the lords pray that the basis or guideline in how you pray, so the priest is right he prays for what he see’s is wrong and right who are you’ll to judge the man,if the opposition leaders are angry then he pray that they’ll come to there senses and speak more clamly don’t u’ll think so hav u’ll ever see obama speak like that or david cameron or any other good leader,only warloads speak like that or terrorist leaders speak those language so give the man a break…..
Thomas called for Jesus’ divine atmosphere to refresh the forum while at the same time calling for the conversion of “disgruntled individuals who are committed to the vilification of innocent people and the tarnishing of our country.”
He asked for blessings on all those who came to the forum in “good faith and open minds, acknowledging the progress of our country despite dishonest media misinformation…”
i don’t see anything wrong with that ,isn’t that a pray ,wen u’ll pray’n don’t u’ll pray for a new government,is dat wrong in askin god to change….u’ll UWPites are really…..but the change u’ll want is happening and is going on strong so off course change is a must…New Roads,new infrastructure,new bridges, new hospital coming soon amongst others,u know what we need to unite and rally round the dlp…come on now..
Wow, Father Thomas! What kind of prayer is that? I am a born Catholic but I guess I must have been sleeping when they were teaching how to pray like this!
Instead of praying that the visitors will have a safe visit, or for Dominica, for unity and other positive things, he is praying against people who do not share his political views? What does naming of a road and airport have to do in a prayer? The devil seems to be working through this priest or he has lost his mind!
dat why uwp will loose,,first time in my life I hear opposition giving. church mapwee,,remember how bad a dominican is they believe in god an d church,,wen uwp see they keep loosing day will realize wat they do..
Goodness gracious! And this is a priest? Well, I speechless oui. Let us recap:
“May all statements be impartial and apolitical so that when this unique experience will come to an end, all will be happy and privileged to say we have come, we have seen the wonderful things happening here, will enlighten those who have not yet discovered the beauty and the truth concerning good governance and will conquer those who endeavor to distort the truth, orchestrate violence and are committed to instilling fear and hate in our country,” Monsignor Thomas prayed.
SMDH…Monsignor, you are a man of God, a teacher who should recognize the importance of neutrality. *God is not a Labourite. For all that is holy and good; Monsignor Thomas, allow me to help you with a prayer. How about a prayer for the unification of the country, for an end to corruption, for a free and fair election, for guidance for the leaders whoever they may be; that they govern with integrity and justice and honesty. A prayer for the prosperity of our lovely Nature Isle where there is justice and liberty, freedom of speech, equal rights for all; and where all citizens can live and prosper regardless of political affiliations. – AMEN
this is repayment for the $500,000.00 further evidence that the Church continue to enslave mankind, they did it with the Slave Masters when we were brought out of Africa
Presently now they are back at it again in the name of COIN.
Listen to what rastafari say TODAY ROME WILL BURN
Many catholics stop going to his church for the same reason.
You are so right, because many Catholics don’t have faith. The BIBLE my dear child!!
is this man livin in dominica? things are hard under skerit we all need a change of these minister and investigation also lets be real people thing are hard
We do not want any angry Priest.
“He who pays the piper calls the tunes”.. When Skerrit pays 500, 000 to the church what do you expect the church to do?
these are well planned. both Peter R Augustine and Eustace Thomas are intentionally paying pack Skerrit for his GENEROSITIES
Tus
if God were to judge you and the rest alas papa. This is your true self clear de way let freedom cum or come. This will explode one day Lord have mercy on you ,for what your villie case brother or money or just to insight people to hate the Roman church more No wonder some of you hide to say truth my partner clear de way let Jesus come and if only if the leaders are greedy where those that put you mind you this is not a uwpite talking one that knows you damn well
, you are a politician, playing politics, in the church when you should be preaching the word, of God to your congregation. I shall refrain from dealing with you too harshly, and that is because I think I know one of your brothers, we are acquainted; sort of friends you know; except if I am wrong I think he is in Dominica at the moment (but I doh saying anything eh, I doh saying what him doing dere as far as him job is concern). When he return to Canada, and I go to visit, I want him to cook for me again, and we do the other thing that Dominicans do when we are eating and talking. So just knowing him, and not wanting to offend him, that saved you from my wrath!
Eustas, Dominica is in a very bad state right now, poverty has overwhelm the country, as a result of the incompetents of the leaders who are in control of the country, and I am not referring to anybody in the opposition, who aspire as leaders intending to change the status quo; because of this ravaging poverty in the country. Crime has become the order of the day, crime has taken precedence over everything else.
When there are no jobs in a country, people become frustrated, and take out their frustrations on society by robbing and stealing from people in the streets, and in their homes, they murder people to get what they need to survive that should concern you, that should concern every Dominican with a small amount of commonsense. Those of us who believe in God knows fully well that God allows things to happen, and unless we the people do something to bring about some significant change to our personal life, and our country, one can call on God for the rest of their life nothing will change in Dominica.
You know why?
Here is the answer found in the book of Ephesians 6:12. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities , against, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high place.” That is the situation we are dealing with in our country right now. People are victimized everyday by the powers that be in government in Dominica!
Your duty as a servant of God, if you are; is to preach the word of from the Bible to the people whom you are their servant, according to the scripture in the Book of Matthew, chapter 23 when you stand on the pulpit it must be the word preached or teach (taught) to your congreation, anything less than that God will not hear you! You are supporting a political party which holds the nation hostage, I mean you as an individual have the right and authority to support any government, any politician of your choice, that is between you and whichever god you serve.
Nevertheless, to ” called on God to preserve Dominica from what he called false and angry leaders who he said have become enemies of Dominica.” To me those are words of war emanating from a hypocrite, who professed to be a follower or disciple of Jesus!
The true enemies of Dominica, are those who have held on to power in Dominica by questionable means, and have destroyed the economy of Dominica in the process. Where is your concision man the god pray to need to issue one to you. As long as you support the labor party in power right now God Jehovah through his Son Jesus will not hear your payers !

Religion is a way of dividing the black race…
that’s why i dislike religion it’s a evil cult…
they keep fooling those who are illiterate…
fools paradise….Dominica..
You see, it is the behavior of people like Eustas, which cause people like you to think in the way that you are thinking. In the first place most people believe that Religion, and Christianity is one of the same, and that’s what led to the belief that Religion was set up to divide Black people.
Be reminded that anything which has a large following, is classified as a religion! Hence we arrived at the term “religiously.” If I have a place of entertainment, you know like a pack dance hall every Saturday night, packed with people in attendance, that could be classified as a religion for some people. Christianity on the other hand is Love of God, to those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord, and Savior the one who lay his life down for our sin; that is one of the major differences.
One does not have to attend any particular denomination to be a Christian, because in Jesus day on earth as a man, though he was God in human flesh. The places where they congregated even in the one where Jesus read the word, and closed the book without reputing the written word of God, nor refuting it, did not have a domination name attached to it.
Even in the New Testament, when people such Paul reference and Identify a Church, he would refer to them based on their location. I am from Wesley, if Paul made reference to a Church in Wesley, he would simply say “the Church in Wesley.”
This denominational thing came into existence when the Roman Catholic decided to lie, and say Peter was the first Pope: all due to that part of Scripture in Matthew 16:18 where Jesus said “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Remember, a building is not a Church, the people who congregates to worship and give praises to God and Jesus, is the Church. When Jesus made the comment to Peter, it was a parable which I will not get into because I am not writing a book here. I will simply say this Peter was a man in human flesh so no one could build a building him, not unless they killed him and buried him under the Church building.
Now as for so many different denominations, it was compounded when the Martin Luther King, broke away from the Roman Catholic system, in order to preach the word of God, then comes the Church of England, and the rest is history, and by the way the Martin Luther King I spoke about is not the assassinated King of America. The multitude of denominational names is what brings all the confusion into it. God said he is not the author of confusion, if you are in America, and are listening to the news coming out of Rome you see the confusion taking Place in their church, from accepting homosexuality, which the Bible condemns, today some pope said god does not have a magic wand. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah.
Have faith in God and not in man they will disappoint you every time, Jesus said where two or three are gathered in his name he said he is in the midst of them, one do not have to go into a place of confusion and lies to establish a relationship with God.
So what better do you expect from this man Thomas!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
and you oh mighty false priest can do and say what you want, why are you so involved and one sided , if you call yourself a man of God ( which i doubt you are) you would be praying for unity and peace among all Dominicans’ IF ITS NOT THUS SAYETH THE LORD ” you and your long speech is not worthy
Judge ye not… Who gives you the right to call another man names???? What has he said that is so wrong? Dominicans need to turn back to God and then, and only then, will things start to work out right for all of us. May God guide us all. May God bless Dominica. Forward We Go!!!
You can never duplicate me Lang Mama. You and your sanctimonious attitude , you full blossom hypocrite sitting in Canada playing most holy yet you come on DNO supporting and pacifying high corruption by your favorite viellecase politician.
I am appalled that you would even try to mirror Lang Mama whom you have condemned to your hel. l
By their fruits you shall know them. The fruits of division, hate and violence which Eustace Thomas has displayed and continues to display has judged him. Eustace Thomas preached violence against Labour Party supporters, to the extent that he was admonishing young people to disown their elderly parents just because of their support for PJ. Do you know about Eustace Thomas’ past? If you don’t then go find out and you’ll understand the nature of this man, a man who harbours hatred in his heart and I’m not judging him, his fruits are.
And who give you the right to call him bastard.
Fadda,
Do you know how ANGRY one has to be to tell a whole segment of the population to ” … go to hell …is not none of your DAM business…”
Come on Fadda, you can do better than that!!!
God will not listen ,You can ask all You like but You cannot pollute God and bring Him into Your Comm mess!
But wait a minute ,roll back the clock to the Patrick John Regime who was organizing revolution back then ? Who was the voice of dissent then ?You were an arcolyte of Charles Savarin back then and was housing the meetings of the voices of dissent .Peter Karam remembers when they left the Parish Hall headed to stone His Parents house on Cork St.
We can understand Your Support for Skeritt since He gave Your Church 500,000 Dollars but this is crossing the line Father Thomas ,You have crossed the line of extreme hypocrisy !This will only backfire big time !
May his political prayer come back to hunt him one day. What a shame.
It will. Remember the bishop who prayed at Melville Hall?
Dear lord, protect us from corrupt leaders
Pope Francis condemned corruption claiming it was a worse evil than sin, but compared it to bad breath, ‘someone who has it hardly ever realises it’.
He said: ‘The scandalous accumulation of global wealth is possible because of the connivance of those with strong powers who are responsible for public affairs. The corrupt one does not perceive his own corruption. It is a little like what happens with bad breath: someone who has it hardly ever realises it; other people notice and have to tell him’
‘Corruption is an evil greater than sin. More than forgiveness, this evil needs to be cured.
Is that priest Thomas ( not Father) a DLP candidate in one of the 21 constituencies? If you tell me no then I am very disappointed. Well— he is certainly not preaching liberation theology. He is making a mockery of himself and his church. What a shame- where is Bishop Bogart ? Where are the church leaders to reign in this loose one?
Very timely Monsignor Thomas! What a great message. We have many instigators of hate and division attempting to disguise themselves as saints by constantly preaching truth and righteousness, meanwhile, their actions contradict their claim. We shall continue to defeat them. Monsignor Thomas, thank you sir and continue to do the work of the Almighty. Your visit and prayers while I was incapacitated at the PMH have contributed to my remarkable recovery today. My profound gratitude to you. Stand firm for the Messiah. I love you!
If this is the work of the almighty god according to you I would prefer to work for the devil.
DC where did you go to school or did you? Your comments are so off and stupid.
DC i suppose if the good priest hadn’t visited, you would not have recovered eh?
You all taking Dominica to an all time low! Bishop…. talk to him.
Does the Bishop admonish Eustace Thomas about his political campaigning at the altar?
Why doesn’t Eustace Thomas formally step down from the priesthood and join the DLP on its platforms?
Stupes tan coming from the post POLITICAL PRIEST ever in Dominica. A man who wrote a kaiso for Freedom and had people singing it in church like a hymn, a man who sunday after sunday preaches politics out right. Good thing I wise up from religious slavery, Wicked
Do you all believe God heard and answered that prayer?
My! MY! My! Goodness gracious! Is that what the priesthood has come to? I believe there are still a few good priests.
I can say bravely that this man is not a man of God. I know that because the bible says, “By their fruits you shall know them”.
When I read the article I said Thomas has seen the light because he has described Skerit and the labour party government.
Thomas is not a religious leader; he is simply a Catholic Priest. Being ordained a Priest does not make one a leader. Who is Thomas leading? And to where is he leading? This is a stressed-out Abbot who thinks he should be further up the hierarchical ladder. He puts on his peacock stride, folds his lips like a “kata”, speaks with a fag’s accent, and wants to pontificate on every subject. He vents his frustration with life from the pulpit, especially when his audience includes non-Catholics. This Priest seem to have a problem with almost everyone and everything. The only way to silence this man is to make him a Bishop. This is his life’s dream. But it seems those in ecclesiastical governance do not trust him. After all, he is from Vielle Casse; home of Skerrit.
This priest suffers from a terrible case of MORAL MALNUTRITION.
That is why I leave that devil man church for him you know.
This man is a waste of time
Why are you not running for political office? You are surely not doing the work of God. You professed to be a priest, I think they should strip the cloak off you.
Me go to church? I am too afraid that when I get there I will see people like father Thomas, bJ, Peter Augustine etc trying to show me the gate to heaven. Besides that it have GPS and Google map so I will find my own way papa. Better yet the money that they want me to put in their collection basket I will keep it to buy gas and still have enough to buy a few gifts for god , Jesus and Mary. Maybe a nice little wob dwiyet for Mary and a few Kubuli Beers and some bwa bandais for our get together in heaven.
How blatant can this man Thomas be- this man is arrogant and pompous and if I get to heaven before this guy I will make sure that Hitler and Idi Amin block the road when we hear that he coming.
I always though that a Bishop, pastor or any leader of a religious institution was to be impartial and refrain from taking part or sides in political discourse?
Sound like you singing for your cousin and covering up big time for corruption. So baaaaaaad.
Though I have strong immunity, I still will not take his communion. Can’t be in league with the devil.
If this priest can push his political agenda at a recent funeral mass at which he officiated this a joke to do at this forum…hence the reason why he was chosen. No one has to remind him to do what comes so natural to him. Religious leaders be careful how you use the position that you hold!!! Shame, shame..Double shame!!
“In this time of national unity preserve us from false and angry leaders who, through their greed and lack of patriotism, have become enemies of our country as they do their utmost to cause division and civil disobedience,” he stated.
Boss you going right in skerrit face and give him mapwi? must have been God speaking through you.
False and Angry leaders – go to hell, go to hell, is none of allu damn business. etc
Greed – mansion, bin bobol, ferliliser bobol, villas, land deals, fat bank accounts etc
Lack of Patriotism – french citizenship, american child, .and whatever others we don’t know about
“as they do their utmost to cause division and civil disobedience” – no pay for public works employees, zero percent zero percent, no stitches in hospital, wood-ants pick up marigot hospital, Portsmouth hospital on death bed, yet – money give to church in wesley, money given to bishop, money spent naming airport, more to be spent naming a road, money wasted on ghardakan for doing the road – he was paid and continually paid for delivering not a damn thing.
If is one time I agree with politics and preacher is now. You hit the nail right on the head!!!!
But knowing them members that were standing next to you I am sure they will think is someone else you was talking about!!!
This is a very disgraceful and unnecessary attempt by this man of the cloth to inject himself into politics of this country even if he has amassed a reputation as a wayward cleric who will do and say anything to promote his political agenda.
Mr. Thomas must understand that when he speaks like this he calls into question the reputation of the church he serves.
Call me old fashion, but clerics such as Mr. Thomas can better serve mankind by tending to the spiritual care of their flock. Playing partisan politics is not within their portfolio of services .
Well, well, well, I have no idea who this priest throwing shade for but dam sometimes we as religious or moral police to our nation refuse to call a spade a spade. We praise the cheaters, liars, thieves and others who try to destroy our society and defend them while the good and the righteous get lynch by their tongues. All I know the TRUTH never changes and change must come. God is NOT bias!
This man has turned from priest to politician. My grandmother always say if you live long enough you will see all kinds of things happening in this life.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This priest is too political and too bias. He is politically blinded to and won’t see the high level of he corruption that is taking place in Dominica. The God that I serve is fully awake!
Seems like the bible is no more when men try to rewrite the word of God to suit their own fancies.
You sound like you are on the pill. You can have all. We don’t need any.
That is one priest that forever preaching politics on the pulpit since I know him.
My dear Padre! Why is it you only listen to what the Opposition have to say especially on Q95 and you try not to listen to Kairi? What a wicked comparison. The amount of garbage that is said on that radio station and you pretend not to hear. Remember the treasury got richer by 593,000.00 when Lennox spoke about the garbage bins etc. What did you have to say for that.? When the PM stated “Go to Hell, it’s not your damn business where Labour Party getting there money from. Where were you? Blind in one eye and deaf in one ear! Wicked, wicked, wicked. The quail of Jah will fall on you. Why you not advocating for the Bishop to bring back Fr Lefleur? Reason for that you just as bad as the Bishop, and hiding under the sultan.
You always busy to judge some people especially if they don’t adhere to what you are saying.
protect us from angry priests too
hey don’t forget he controls the political and religious drones too.
Just stay on pulpit and preach politics. But time will tell hypocritical men of the cloth.
thomas are you serious??? thats just politics you talking and that aint no prayer…..was it skerrit who wrote this political speech for you to come read…..man take off that gown and put on your real and honest gown..labour party goon you are…you call truth to power..angry leaders…..allu people just too evil….
That one seem angry, but not as angry as the one who said: ” Go to Hell! Go to Hell! Go to Hell!” “you bastards!”etc.
If that is a prayer I do not know how to pray. This was pure mapuis. You are saying to make the event apolitical, yet all you spoke of was politics.You are like sheep in wolfs’ clothing .I will pray for you but please Eustace do not pray for me, for your pray will not be heard.
that’s why his church is always three quarter empty. People are fed up of his labour party politics. Is he really a man of God? Why is he playing blind to all the corruption in government? Time will tell.
I’m tempted to use foul language but i won’t. The speech is painted with political motivation colors. When will these so called false preachers learn what their true role as religious leaders are?
Well well Monsignor… you aleady get the half a million you can relax. or are you crowing for more?? shame on you and your bishop for standing up for corruption
Hmmm
This was not the opening prayer,just a blatant political statement from the the church
$500,000 dollars worth “…..?..
Could not have said it better !!
This prayer is blasphemous, if you ask me, in that it invokes the blessing of God for political propaganda.
Thomas is no priest. He is a politician, which I hope, visiting overseas Dominicans realize and will disregard his politicking for the Labour Party.
That priest is just scandalous
