Anti-same sex marriage law: Jonathan right in defying the West — Catholic Bishop

Bishops of the Owerri Catholic Ecclesiastical
Province have commended President Goodluck
Jonathan for ignoring threats from Western
nations and signed the Anti-Same Sex Bill into
law.
The commendation was part of the 10-point
communique issued after their first plenary
meeting for 2014, held at the Pastoral Centre,
Owerri, and signed by the Chairman and
Secretary, His Grace, Dr. Anthony J.V. Obinna
and Most Rev. Dr. Augustine T. Ukwuoma of
Orlu Diocese, respectively.
”We commend the collaborative effort of Mr.
President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, and the
National Assembly for signing into law the Bill
prohibiting same-sex union in Nigeria”, the
bishops stated.
While describing themselves as “servants and
custodians of God’s laws”, the Catholic Bishops
unequivocally stated that “marriage is sacred
union between a man and woman”.
They expressed sympathy with people with
homosexual tendencies, adding that being a
homosexual or lesbian is moral perversion.
