Uganda: Lwanga Condemns
Gay Marriages
 22
Mar 2007- Archbishop Cyprian Lwanga has slammed gay and lesbian
marriages, saying the practice is sinful and evil. "How can someone
advocate for same-sex marriages? God created a man and a woman and told
them to produce children. How will the world get the next generation
when gay marriages are embraced?"
Lwanga was on Sunday presiding over
a function where 20 couples took their vows at St. Joseph's Catholic
Church in Mukono district.
The weddings were funded by the
church. Lwanga also confirmed 400 children. He cautioned that the church
cannot grant divorce to the married couples.
"Married couples have
misunderstandings, but the church will always counsel them in order to
stabilise their marriage," Lwanga asserted. He urged them to be faithful
and respect each other to instill good morals in their children.
The Archbishop asked the
congregation to forgive and love each other during the lent period.
"During the lent period, we should love and respect our friends and
sisters. We need to pray and forgive those who have sinned against us."
