“Dreadlocks have got nothing to do with pastoral calling,” Dom Caulker tweeted. 


“It’s sad that the way one’s dressed determines how one’s addressed. If it doesn’t matter, then the habit should not. Matter for monks, nuns and priests. Even the chasuble he’s putting on does not matter since it’s the heart that matters,” Oliver Uja Tweeted. 


” This is not right. We Catholics preach decency not to talk of a priest,” Amhanosi tweeted. 


“So because he has dread his indecent!!! Aunty keep quiet abeg, your no different from SARS,” Assistant Boiflen tweeted.
