One Sunday years ago, while visiting a parish in Lagos during my early priestly days in 2018, something happened that has never left me. During Communion, a boy of about thirteen came forward. Like everyone else, when I said "The Body of Christ," he answered "Amen," and I gave him the Eucharist. Later, when I finished blessing sacramentals outside, I saw a small drama unfolding. Some church wardens had gathered around the boy, asking him to kneel, as if trying to force him to vomit the Communion
