SAME-S3X UNIONS AND ACTIVITIES SHALL NOT RECEIVE THE BLESSING OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH- CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCE OF NIGERIA. (PHOTO).


Same-s3x unions and activities shall not receive the blessing of the Catholic Church - Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, has assured the catholic community that the recent pronouncement of the Pope on same-s3x marriage does not in any way change the Catholic Churchā€™s teaching on marriage.

This comes days after Pope Francis formally approved allowing priests to bless same-s3x couples, but reaffirmed that marriage is between a man and a woman.
 

The group in a statement signed by Archbishop Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji of Owerri, and Bishop Donatus Ogun of Uromi, the President and Secretary respectively of the CBCN, said that the clarification became necessary following the confusion the Fiducia Supplicans released by the Vatican has created among Christians and the Catholic faithful.

According to them, blessing same-s3x marriage will go against Godā€™s Law, the teachings of the Church, ā€œthe laws of our nation and the cultural sensibilities of our peopleā€.

The Catholic Bishops also explained that the declaration on the Pastoral meaning of blessings, ā€œFiducia Supplicansā€, by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith only seeks to clarify the different forms of blessings that can be given to persons and objects in the Catholic Church.

The Bishops also assured the entire People of God that the teaching of the Catholic Church on marriage remains the same.

The CBCN explained that although the Declaration reiterates the Catholic Churchā€™s perennial teaching on marriage as an ā€œexclusive, stable and indissoluble union of a man and woman, naturally open to the generation of childrenā€, it, however, stated clearly that the Church does not have the power to impart a blessing on irregular unions.

The Bishops added that the document also explains the different forms of blessings that can be given to persons, including the possibility of blessing in irregular unions.

ā€œThe Declaration acknowledges and carefully distinguishes between ritual, liturgical, and informal blessings.
