Inflated buttocks, breasts insult to God’s creation – Chaplain General of GPS
● DCOP Very Rev. Fr George Arthur
It is a fact that physique of women changes naturally but in their bid to finding a ‘perfect’ look, some women resort to “artificial or value added buttocks and breasts” to attract men who like such artificial features.
But women have been advised to reconsider such lifestyle due to its adverse health implications.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Very Rev. Fr George Arthur and Chaplain-General of the Ghana Police Service said “natural things last longer but inflated buttocks or breasts have medical implications.
“The medically prescribed ones are laudable, however, resorting to butt and hip pads, tummy tuck and liposuction for the sake of competition with naturally endowed women has economic and health hazards, as some become deformed and others die”.
He has, therefore, cautioned patrons of such unhealthy practice to desist from it and appreciate how God made them by cherishing their natural body formation.
The Chaplain-General stated this during a homily at the thanksgiving service in commemoration of Police Ladies Association (POLAS) at the Saint George Catholic Church at the National Police Training School at Tesano in Accra last Sunday.
The programme which was well attended had the theme: “The future of women policing in Ghana”
DCOP Rev. Arthur said such acts or practices were insults to God’s handiwork and complete deviation from natural law, stressing that these were some of the causes of divorce in recent times in the country.
The Chaplain General urged women to stop following the husbands of other women, stating that this was not an honour but degradation of one’s self esteem.
He again appealed to people not to embark on expensive wedding but should be moderate.
“Unnecessary economic competition always has negative and regretful results.” he said
He quizzed “Why do you go for loan for a wedding ceremony? It is unnecessary to be changing your attire every hour on your wedding day”
He told couples to love, treasure and sustain their marriages and families, assist their spouses to care for the children, educate and bring them up to be useful than successful.
