The National Assembly has been commended for passing a Bill outlawing same-sex marriage in Nigeria.
Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, His Grace, Dr. Anthony Obinna, in Owerri, Imo State, while fielding questions from the citizenry, said “God created us male and female. We have to respect that identity so that our children, who are being influenced by the toxic wastes from Europe and America, will be insulated from this sort of abomination that led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
The Archbishop, who spoke ahead of a two-day pro-life conference holding in Owerri, lamented that the country had experienced a terrible assault on the sacredness of life imported from Europe and America.
“In 2009, when the issue of reproductive Bill came into the state House of Assembly, the Catholic Church galvanised the people to defeat the ugly Bill that was aimed at increasing the rate of promiscuity, as well as legitimise abortion on demand.
Obinna noted that the assaults on the sacredness of life had necessitated the pro-life conference, so that “our people will become more conscientised and begin to defend our children and women from aberration.”
Noting that he was happy that Africans regard life as very sacred, Archbishop Obinna expressed worry that each time these toxic wastes are being moved to Africa, they come in the guise of Christian and religious fashion.
