![](images/g_controversies.gif) Olumba Olumba Obu is considered "Sole Spiritual Head of the Universe." This quote from the group’s web site clearly demonstrates why the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is considered heretical by mainstream Christians: "Revealed and preordained to rule over all human beings, animals, birds, fishes, trees and other celestial and terrestrial creation, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu was been revealed to the World by the Supreme Holy Father Olumba Olumba Obu as the Reincarnated Christ, The Begotten of God most High. On 14th April 2000, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu was coroneted [sic] as the king of Kings and Lord of Lords."
