    Why is the ‘Abun” showing so much fraternity with a female pop singer? What a shame. What will the Ethiopian-religious-elders say when they see this? Isn’t it a bad image for the Ethiopian orthodox church? Aba Diablos is realy becoming a DIABLOS.

    Why is the pope praying for Beyonce’s second coming?

    By Abebe Gelaw / October 24, 2007

    It is unusual for a Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to appeal for the second coming of a female R & B superstar whose messages have no spiritual content other than promoting the temptations and sins of our time that he condemns in his daily sermons.

    A short list of Beyonce Knowles’ song titles are enough to reveal the fact that her songs contain no trace of gospel messages or praises to the Almighty. Crazy in Love, Naughty Girl, Get Me Bodied, Suga Mama, Beautiful Liar and The Last Great Seduction are a few among the many songs that have made Beyonce so popular around the world.

    When Beyonce was in Addis Ababa last week for the so-called millennium celebration to entertain the rich in poverty stricken city, she was obviously shocked to get a fan from an unexpected corner. No wonder!

    The Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, His Holiness Abune Paulos, not only gave her a gift but also requested her to come again to Ethiopia to spread her message. Any devout Christian may consider the story itself a fictitious blasphemy but he did it on the record in front of local and international media.

    Soon after the October 20, 2007 gig local and international media churned out hysterical stories about the “great” spectacle at the 20 million dollar “millennium concert hall” financed by none other than the billionaire tycoon Sheik Mohammed Al Amoudi. Mind you, he is also a sponsor of a long list of famous singers lined up to sing and dance in Ethiopia to the rich at a time when a slice of bread has become a luxury for the depressed and hungry masses. One of the reasons why the poorest of the poor who survive begging food and pennies have been cleared from the streets of Addis and dumped in concentrations camps outside the capital was to save the eyes of VIP foreigners from confronting the ugly reality that can unveil the untold suffering of ordinary Ethiopians in their own country.

    Our pope was seen nowhere to defend the poor from being detained and deported for being poor and dispossessed. He has never begged the tyrant to have mercy on them and seek a lasting solution rather that removing them from the sight of the famous and the rich who are making every effort to make hellish Ethiopia into a paradise for the few. We have never heard him protesting killings, mass detentions, and crimes against humanity being committed by the regime in power that was responsible for his controversial political appointment.

    Among the many stories on the event that were distributed across the world by news agencies, one came from the the state run Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) with a colour photo of our patriarch with Beyonce Knowles surrounded by bemused priests and Debteras. The picture also shows that she was standing beneath an emblazoned umbrella as if she was carrying the Holy Covenant (Tabot).

    According to ENA’s story, headlined “Beyonce considers Ethiopia as second home”, the R & B superstar said she would visit Ethiopia again. “After attending a congregation held at the Trinity Cathedral here on Sunday, Beyonce told the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Patriarch, Abune Paulos that she would pay visit to Ethiopia, as she considers Ethiopia as her second home. She made the decision to visit Ethiopia again at the request of Abune Paulos,” ENA reported.

    It was good that she went to see his Holiness Abune Paulos. The underlying question is why he went out of his spiritual way to invite a pop idol to come again while he is fully aware of the controversies surrounding the millennium celebrations which focuses more on creating a false image of glamour in oppressed Ethiopia by pushing poor citizens under the carpet. Has he expected her to help him spread the gospel with her lustrous songs and dances? I hope not.

    Church and state have hardly separated in Ethiopia history. It may be the wish of the ruling elite to see tempting Beyonce again. Nevertheless, it appears that the majority of Ethiopians who have been suffering in their own land have neither the money nor the taste to watch her and a horde of other reggae, raga, hip hop, R & B, heavy metal or rap singers. The head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church should not have underestimated the backlash of mixing spiritual and carnal matters. That may be the reason why the majority of the laity would be abhorred to see their patriarch joining the Beyonce Knowles’ fan club.

    Followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church expect His Holiness Abune Paulos to pray for the Second Coming of Christ our Redeemer, which is obviously Contrary to that, the second coming of Beyonce can only make our mortal sins and temptations worse dancing to her seductive tunes. Given these glaring facts, his spiritual commitment as well as his command of English to properly understand what her messages are all about, the reason why His Holiness appealed for her second coming to Ethiopia remains a mystery at a time when the nation was expecting him to renounce the vanity and hypocrisy of the ruling elites which are dancing and singing while the nation is starved and gravely sick.

    Of all the people in the world, why has he invited the pop idol to come again? It would be much appreciated, as citizens have a legitimate right to ask questions and seek answers from public figures, if his holiness give us some clarifications about his expectations during the second coming of the pop idol who is worshipped in many parts of the world by her devoted fans more seriously than God, the creator and master of the universe.

    This shamless pig in the name of abun is a pervert. He must have been enjoying Beyonce’s body in channel O and took his chance to infatuate with her when she comes to Addis. There is no moral and religious ground for him to waste his time making scene with her. Instead, why is that he is not bothered about the millions of destitute people live with dogs right at his door step? The only sensible reason is political:he is as narrow minded ethno-centric idiot like the bunch in the palace. This pop is so much corrupt and womanizer that the very existence of the church is being challenged. Is he working for those historical enemies of ethiopia, who see Ethiopian orthodox church as a source of unity and harmony of the nation and do anything to destroy her? Ethiopia is having two feudal rulers right now: one at the Menlike palace and the other at Amist kilo. we have to challenge and expose him at every juncture if we care about that historic church!

In comparission, look at these shameful Woyane tugs, prostituting themselves and their country to get noticed by Westerners whenever and however.

He doen’t suppose to promise Beyoncé to come again not for religious issue. Why doesn’t he go him self to one of her concerts without anybody knows? Like this, he is absolutely not in a position to represent the Ethiopian Orthodox church and her followers. I my self like Beyoncé and have been to her concerts, but I don’t want to see such major religious figure to mix pop songs with the purity what Christianity stands for. I think she might be surprised to be invited to a curch. This shoud not happen again! Please repent man!

I am not sure where the line needs to be drawn between luring followers into ones religion and strictly implementing the religious dogma. Even though I don’t like some of his positions, I wouldn’t necessarily want to criticize him on this. Because I think stars like Boyance have some positive impact to attarct people to the religion and consequently create a generation with better moral values than dirty Ethiopians politicians at home and overseas.

Second, the papas is a public figure, what ever he does and say affects the church’s identity. He has to respect our church’s norms and protect the moral of the followers. The papas can pray for Beyonce if he want to who cares but i hate to see him giving such a reception to a singer as if she was a spiritual leader.

    Genet # 56, It would be a good thing if he prayed for her but he didn’t and he didn’t say he is prying for her. He asked her to come again..

    hi ALL,

    i am glad that Beyonce visted Ethiopia and it shows me that she respect us as a people. Also, some how i am glad that she get to see our religous cermonies and invited by the church so that she will testify what kind ppl we are. But i am not not that happy that the pop seated beside her to show respect for a singer who praise the world rather than God in her song. I am not saying she is bad, but religon needs to be separate from music. However, we dont need to feel very offense by the pop since we all call ourselves Ortodox and never do what the lord or the bible says. We love beyonce and listen to her songs so who are we and who allowed us to blame the pop before we blame ourselfes for not been a true christian. WE all have our own sins to punish for so leave the punishment for God whatever the pop is doing.

    At least she is not butt-naked infront of the camera with Papa Diabilos. Thanks to the long skirt they put her in.

    it is all part of brainwashing the masses(people). first the president greets her like the is an angel from heaven(Question,Is the president even suppose to do that?) and to make things even worse, the pope endorses a singer who views and belief are completely contrary to the preaching of the Ethiopian orthdox chruch and the ethiopian culture as a whole. Don’t you see this as a part of a bigger scheme? What is it that they are trying to sell us? why all this rush to corrupt society? last but not least, what is a 21 first century singer who has come from an affluent country that idealizes itself in dominance in every aspect of human endenvor doing in a 20th century ethiopia who has becoome to be known for its poverty war and other adversities? brining an american singer doesn’t change that. why can’t we be ourselves and have pride over our own culture and custom. why try to emulate something that corrupts society and lead it in a wrong direction? at last, i want to say that this is just not about beyonce. it is a greater scheme directed at the Ethiopian people. What does to endorse someone else’s culture say about our own culture? Think hard people, you should be able to figure this out. They are simply just playing with our mind cause they are in power and have the tools like the dumb president and Pope to make us think the way they want us to. this is a direct hit aimed at all of us and we should fight it with every means. we shall all say, WE HAVE PRIDE IN OUR ETHIOPIANESS!!!!!!!!!

    wow ! He invited many spritual fathers at MESKEL celebration and very soon he confirmed them that He is not a spritual father as his guests are.
    what a message?
    Things may become worse and worse before becoming better.
    Any ways all of you pray for your self and for your beloved country so God may give us mercy and give Godly fathers tomorrow.
