Archbishop Lucius Ugorji of Owerri, president of the Nigerian Bishops' Conference, has issued a firm rebuke of Francis' homosexual scribble "Fiducia Supplicans".
Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and has 30 million practising Catholics.
Key phrase: "There is no possibility in the Church of blessing same-sex unions and activities. That would go against God's law, the teachings of the Church, the laws of our nation and the cultural sensitivities of our people."
The bishops of Nigeria join a growing chorus of African nations rejecting implementation of the Vatican declaration on blessing of homosexual unions/couples in irregular situations.
@SonoftheChurch. They are reaping the rewards of the French missionary days. Especially with the work of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, when he was head of the Holy Ghost Fathers and head of the missionaries to the French colonies in Africa.
That's right, Africa!!!! Stand firm and save the Church. Your weak, wimpy, perversion-loving brother Bishops in the West (Europe, Canada and the US, where in many Dioceses such cursed rites for sodomite pairings have already long been in practice) are all drinking deeply and copiously from the sewage-filled chalice of abomination which has been blasphemously proclaimed and promulgated by false Prefect Kissy-Pooh and his degenerate band of sodomite infidels, with Papal approval no less. May your bravery and courage in defending the Faith against the horror of this unspeakable madness, be Heaven's Christmas gift to all the world during this holy Season of our Lord's Birth. And may you make the African Saints and Martyrs of Holy Mother Church proud.
Add Benin and Togo in Africa to the list who reject Francis and Tucho's gay document. I wish Poland and Hungary would step up with forceful rejections.
