摘要

天主教牧师违背了他们的神圣使命，利用讲坛参与党派政治。这一新兴趋势引发了复杂的情绪。本文从宗教与社会转型的角度来探讨这一新的现实，认为政治宣讲是天主教社会训导中发现的宗教义务，是对社会变革的积极回应。虽然这一新奇事物面临着许多挑战，但本研究展示了不同的方法，并有助于对天主教牧师参与尼日利亚政治的稀少学术研究，特别是涉及社会转型的研究。

Catholic Priests’ Involvement in Nigerian Politics: A Response to Social Change

Going against their sacred calling, Catholic priests are using the pulpit to engage in partisan politics. This emerging trend has stirred mixed feelings. Exploring this new reality in the light of religion and social transformation, this paper argues that political preaching is religious obligation found in the Catholic Social Teachings and a positive response to social change. While this novelty faces a lot of challenges, this study shows different approaches to it and contributes to the scanty scholarship on Catholic priests’ involvement in Nigerian politics, especially as it concerns social transformation.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
