These Christian religions are even more strange and disruptive than the original Egyptian Catholic religions that Rome completely destroyed and replaced with jesus, then justified the rampant destruction by teaching us that Egypt is sin. We’re now finding out and today we know better.
Mark 8:36 King James Version (KJV)
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Part of this Hymn reads
I who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
This is a note to the many self-righteous, elitist thinking Dominicians: Someone has to reach out to all people (during carnival days or not). In today’s world filled with sin and rapidly losing almost all sense of morality. A person of Divine potential which is to be credited to Bishop Malzaire cannot choose when and where, or to ask or to bring the Love and Grace of God to those who are falling short and unable to harness our earthly passions. Any time is a good time to reach out to us by someone who has answered to the above lines by saying: “here I am Lord”.
Having heard Fr. sing and use calypso lyrics in the past to drive a point home I’d like to recommend this – talk in song – to him sang by a trini, Rondell Danawa, “lip service”. I think he has the voice to sing it too.

Christian carnival reveler huh !
AKA ‘CCR’ ?
Tradition! that’s what it is. It started with the diab and will end with him. the old lashings on the road and vulgar behavior running up and down charged with spirits among revelers.
now to a modern man behind woman band…. i applaud you for seeking soberness but too soft a message.
it is wrong! we know by its fruits.
Drunkenness, sicknesses, violence, malice, adultery, fornication, sexual lust….. and maybe by next year the spirit of (the liberal men and women) will want to come in to teach our children more abomination.
we need to repent and turn to God! that’s what it is for we have all fallen by the wayside.
wake up Dominica, wake up!!!!!
Carnival is carnival, church is church. It’s true we were conquered by the romans and lost many wars but for big men like that in today’s age of INFORMATION to pride himself in the Stockholm Syndrome and be more Roman than romans themselves is VERY backward, downright stu*id. So many romans who’d rather be atheists than continue barbaric rule of the romans conquering and enslaving much of the world’s population with such brutality that this big man should research the religion of his enslaved ancestors instead of this deliberate mental servitude for 2000 years and helping them continue this isht.
It is not very long ago this racist institution began strategically to Allow Black Men to become their priests, can’t he read between the racist lines? Sorry bishop, it’s a 2000 year reign of romans that is ending, it’s time you research the religion of Your ancestors the romans stole from them and made you and many of us Stockholm participants. Seek your religion.
Sorry if I…
Whether you agree with carnival or not, Jesus came to earth to save the sinners. that is why he socialized with prostitutes and vagrants of society. So why can’t the bishop reach out to revelers during Carnival? a perfect time, in fact carnival was started by the catholic church as the 2 days to free up before lent. people will always have something bad to say.
Little man you are right, Jesus mix with everyone he was not a snob, but carnaval was not started by the Catholic Church my man. It much older than that church, even before the Romans. In fact the church try to stop it but no success so they try and regulate it.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 King James Version (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
There is nothing Christian about carnival.
As far as I am concerned its time for this bishop to go. Can catholics no longer trust him. He is a stack reminder of the catholic clergy who tacitly supported Hitler for their own benefit while he was killing millions of jews. He MUST go!

Mr. Bishop Sir, Carnival will always be what it is–a “Worldy Celebration”– God is not in these practices.
There is nothing that you have to say which will change that fact or change the minds of the people who participate in that celebration. They want to dance, they want to jump up, they want the alcoholic drinks, they want their smoke or intake of all sorts of dangerous substances, they want to parade half-naked on the streets–that is what carnival is about.
But there is something else that you can do. As a Bishop, you are called to preach the Gospel of Jesus to the people–not a yearly gospel of carnival, they don’t need that, but they need the Gospel of Life, which is from God Almighty through His Person, the Son, who is Christ Jesus.
Is there not a way that you can speak the Gospel to Dominicans, on a regular basis–not the things of Religion that you do in the Church; it is useless to the people just like your gospel of carnival.
The Bishop means well, and he was not referring to goats in Savanah, he was asking decent human being to spare a thought for Jesus. If you are respectful ,educated and have money, Dominicans don’t like you. Out of a population 71,000,there are 71 different pastors. They ask to comment, they write essays. It is clearly stated, A CHOSEN FEW.
Sometimes I have to ask myself if Bishop Malzaire was brought here to help build the church or to help build the kingdom of darkness. No doubt since his arrival here we have seen a massive decline in church attendance while we have seen a massive increase in evil and unrighteousness. As for me since when I realize he was more concerned about Skerrit and his Evil stay in power than to build the church, I self decide I done with Catholic church. Unfortunately those Christians are just as bad so I can’t go to their church either therefore I staying home and serve my God home. I think the Catholic Church should put a system in place to evaluate the spiritual progress of our Bishop and Priests. If that was done they would see Bishop Malzaire has lost respect and is therefore good for nothing, as far as church growth is concerned. But who knows they might be evaluating progress on how much money is collected and since the Skerrits, Savarins, Ian and others out do others, that is good
Yes I, looks like you are the perfectionist. Catholics have fault christians have faults and u faultless so you cant stay among them. Yes I.
Is this a joke? Carnival is pure carnality on display. Is he kidding? Many servants will have to give account for the blasphemous use of Christ’s name in their foolish and unwise talk and actions, no matter how well intended.
Dear Believer: Carnival? How worse, or is it? (More) worse than Saul who went on a campaign and carinval killing spree beheading, burning, bastardising ……followers of the Christ – Jesus.
Well, the story ends with this crimminal, this reveler – Paul – became one of the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. There is hope for us all who are still “blinded” by………………whatever it may be. Lord in your time. In the meantime Bless us all until that DAY.
Is he the bishop of the Alibaba gang? No wonder Jesus said this in Matthew 23:15
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of [h]hell as yourselves.”
Well said Bishop Malzaire, well put together message. Every island, country in the world has some celebration and in some its called carnival, ceremonial, Festival, Fasting, Feast Day. The issue is how we all conduct ourselves as we sweat and exhale under these circumstances that we ease off and get off the strain and the challenges we all go through at home, school, work, university that we free up and exhale and obviously in a very decent way. God has given us this talent to express ourselves and yes in the most decent and honourable way to also respect all peoples, whoever they are and wherever they are.
“We got to have some fun, let happiness reign-Under the Sun, Moon, and stars” (Jimmy Cliff). Wherever we are in Gods name. But yes, we have to conduct ourselves decently and with respect. An opportunity to exhale, celebrate, exhale, welcome each other and appreciate the costumes which are usually amazing representing our artistes, forests, stars, design and much more. God Bless.
Thanking you for your contribution Bishop. I behave like I am walking with Jesus and feeling his pain. When Satan was cast out of Heaven ,he landed on Planet EARTH, this is what carnival means to me. The people’s behaviour and dressed up.
A dangerous virus is circling round the world. In the interest of health and safety, the carnival should give a miss.Just a thought.
Eifle, despecable statement posted there in an attempt to insult and disgrace our own people. You`re really out of touch.
“When Satan was cast out of Heaven, he landed on Planet EARTH, this is what carnival means to me. The people’s behaviour and dressed up.
A dangerous virus is circling round the world. In the interest of health and safety, the carnival should give a miss. Just a thought”
This blind statement of yours referring to Satan when he landed of earth is a disgusting thought. Please go read your Bible well and if he is your friend keep him there with you. We do not engaged in false prophets by misleading the words and meaning of the Bible. Do not get us engaged in your …….. People are engaged in activities they are allowed to do. You point a finger at people when four of those fingers are pointed back at you. Where God is concerned it`s between him & us, leave well alone, go clean your own home and go celebrate decently. Sin is all over, also in your home. Clean…
I concur, you don’t know the difference between an essay and a comment, you are causing Linton to lose the elections. Education is the key.Thanks for the advise about cleaning of toilet I almost forget. Cleaning of toilet does not help to become a PM
@viewsexspress, why in hell, do you think you have the right to go under the posts of the rest of us, to write your insult judgments–you dod that to me all the time.
EIFILE is right! Satan, his angel name is Lucifer was cast out of heaven because he was a wicked and evil angel. He brought his wickedness and evil into down to Earth, and up until today his demons are all over the World, indwell human beings to do his wicked, evil, and sinful works. The conducts and fashion of carnival is part of his works–how can you deny that?
“Where God is concerned it`s between him & us”: You are right about that, and those involved in the ways of carnival is also part of the “US”, including you.
You are always under people post castigated their thoughts through your rude insults. I suggest that you stay in your own block and keep your conceited character with you. Try not to cause me to repeat that to you, okay!
The bishop has me lost with his hot and cold water, like a fountain that carries both dirty and somewhat clean water that you don’t even know what to expect. I think he should have his own Carnival band on carnival day and serve people like Melissa and Skerrit lusty in the carnival band
But what is Mr use ner??? What the use of Mr in Dominicas Society?? He pops up on certain time .. I mean man better u just lose yourself somewhere..
He runs the catholic. You are not catholic stay clear of our business. His message is not for you but for his flock. Focus on you and let us do us.
Partner, I thought Jesus is for all people and not exclusive for catholics.
That church you have there is suppose to be all inclusive, even for salt suckers, they accommodate all sorts .
The bishop welcome to celebrate carnaval also, he can lift his dress and do a little twirl I am sure Jesus would not mind for him to have a little joy and be merry because I don’t believe he likes believers to be miserable either.
I am catholic and he runs nada. This bishop is an enabler of evil, a hypocrite and does not represent all catholics. As far as I am concerned its time for him to go. Leave our shores for those who are honest and have integrity.
Worthless hypocrite!!! U were silent through the political turmoil now u have message for the carnival. Best you remain silent bishoppp
