Senior Vatican official, Cardinal Appiah Turkson, has averred that steps be taken to bring sanity to the country's religious space in order to safeguard the peace and security and in the country. In his view the current activities of some church leaders raises concerns and calls for proper regulatory regime.
In a conversation with Asaase Radio's Kwaku Nhyira Addo, the revered man of God asserted that Ghana can take a clue from the Rwandan model.
"I think probably we can also learn from Rwanda. In the case of Rwanda, the proliferation of churches is also being brought under control; and I think there's a law in Rwanda that says there are conditions that pastors must fulfil. At least some decent knowledge of the very books you use for your church service which is the scriptures, this again is some kind of reductionist, reducing religion to just knowledge of the literature of the Bible and whatever, but essentially we need to find a way to curtailing all of these." Cardinal Turkson Admonished.
When asked of his opinion on the Police directive regarding prophecies especially the 31st December watchnight service, Cardinal backed the action of the Police.
