>Somewhat unsurprisingly, these churches also become protagonists in Africa’s political scene. “Prophets and their faithful communities inevitably become an electoral constituency for the politicians who desire to be in the first row during the religious ceremonies, ready to make conspicuous donations and to have pictures taken with the church leaders,” explains Michael Osei-Assibey, of the Human Federation of Ghana.
>It is when dealing with subjects such as LGBTQ rights, motherhood and abortion, that the role of the prophets becomes political. If there are any differences between Evangelical, Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, there is one thing they all agree on: there is no space for LGBTQ rights.https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/inside-dark-opulent-world-ghanas-churchesThose churches are where the real power resides and everybody there knows it. Flooding the country with NGOs won't do a thing aside from funnel more money into them since they control how charities work there. Any international pressure will be laughed off and help strengthen their beliefs. They've got the equivalent of papal infallibility, power of organized crime, cohesion of a cult, unofficial backing of their government at every level and an organizational structure that's starting to spread throughout most of Western Africa and internationally among immigrant communities. At current rates by the end of this century they'll be much more powerful than the Catholic Church.
