The Metropolitan Archbishop commended the former President when he called on him at his office in Accra on Wednesday and the two-hour meeting focused on local and international politics, society and leadership. Accompanied by leading clergy from the Archdiocese, Most Reverend Kwofie noted that former President Rawlings was an Apostle fighting against injustice and the protection of the core values of society. Former President Rawlings urged the Catholic clergy to endeavour to speak out against wrongs in the society as they used to do in the past. “The Catholic Church, other formal, traditional churches still maintain a high level of respect, credibility and must speak up, our beautiful country and people deserve better from political leaders from all political divides,” former President Rawlings pointed out.
