He said the participation in political life was an essential duty for every Catholic and all people of goodwill.

 Bishop Abadamloora, who is the Bishop of Navrongo-Bolgatanga, said it was important in this election year to help the nation to put in place the necessary structures and attitudes required for growing democracy.

 On Recent dispensation granted to Catholics to worship on Saturday December 6, instead of Sunday, December7, the Bishop said, "Let the critics know that by this adjustment we have not abrogated the law of the Lord's day but simply respecting and adjusting the two duties: Civic and Relegious."
