Catholic Church rejects same-sex marriage

The Nigeria Catholic Church
community has refused to shift ground
concerning the acceptance and conduction
of same sex marriages in the church, Punch
reports.
The President of the Catholic Bishops
Conference of Nigeria, Most Rev. Ignatius
Kaigama made this known while briefing
newsmen on Sunday on the outcome of the
3rd Extra Ordinary Synod of the Family of
the Catholic Church held in Rome recently.
Kaigama, who is also the archbishop of Jos,
said the Synod said the Church though does
not entertain same sex marriage, but it
would not excommunicate the gay
community, but keep assisting them with
prayers and counselling to overcome their
abnormal behaviour.
