When the Hallelujah Challenge streamed during Lent, drama followed.
Here’s why 👇
During Lent, Catholics traditionally stop saying “Alleluia” in church as a sign of solemn reflection until Easter.
So seeing “Hallelujah” trending every midnight didn’t sit well with some.
Cue social media debates.
Nathaniel Bassey’s response?
The program isn’t a Catholic service. It’s online. It’s voluntary.
In other words: If you don’t like it, don’t watch.
Boom. Internet divided.
Some called it bold.
Some called it dismissive.
But here’s the truth:
It’s not a church war — it’s just different Christian traditions colliding in a digital space.
And once again, Christian Twitter had a field day.
This controversy highlights a modern reality:
Christian worship is no longer confined to denominational walls.
Online ministries now reach Catholics, Pentecostals, Anglicans, Baptists — everyone.
And when traditions differ, tension can follow.
The real question isn’t whether people should say “Hallelujah” during Lent.
The deeper question is:
Can Christians with different traditions coexist online without turning every difference into a battlefield?
👀 So what do you think?
Was he right to say that?
Or should he have handled it differently?
