Catholic Church clarifies on pope’s pronouncement on blessings for same sex couples.
According to UEC, the misinterpretation of the Pope's 11-page document has triggered the Catholic Church to focus their Christmas and New Year gospel reflections on the importance of family for Uganda’s development.
"The purpose of marriage is to have children. People of the same sex can't get married and fulfill this purpose as stated in the book of Genesis. Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem, so we happily celebrate his birthday [Christmas Day]," Bishop Zziwa added.
Still on Saturday, he advised the faithful to reject ideologies and practices which seek to destroy family and national peace.
Christians have also been reminded to “to fight selfishness, greed, corruption, injustice, envy, immorality, poverty hunger and all forms of conflict.”
