Two years after his last visit, the Bishop of Ebolowa made a significant return to the parish of Saint John the Evangelist this Sunday, August 9, 2026. Bishop Philippe Alain Mbarga took advantage of this pontifical mass to sound the end of spiritual naivety in the face of the new traps of faith.
The prelate's message proved particularly forceful. Faced with the explosion of religious extremism and the rise of spectacle-driven gurus, the bishop called for a renewed sense of vigilance. He firmly reiterated that God does not reside in exhibitionism, but in silence, sobriety, and the authenticity of the sacraments.
To counter these excesses, the Pastor of Ebolowa calls for a return to the fundamentals. He urges his followers to escape the noise and cultivate a deep intimacy with Christ, particularly through the Eucharist. Faced with daily crises, his message remains simple: banish fear and place complete trust in the one true Savior.
Welcomed by Father Hyacinthe Mba, the bishop came not only to warn, but also to strengthen. The celebration concluded with the commissioning of several newly confirmed members. Reinvigorated by this experience, the Mengong community now has the tools to resist modern illusions.
A fitting adage : True faith is rooted in the silence of sincere prayer, while illusion makes the most noise to mask its emptiness.
