Ghana Catholic Bishops back Cardinal Turkson’s controversial “it’s time to understand homosexuality” comments
“We wish to thank Parliament for the work done so far on the bill, particularly the commitment of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Alban S.K. Bagbin to ensure the successful passing of the bill. We urge that they expedite action on the passage, and we call on the President to assent to the Bill as soon as it is passed by Parliament,”
Catholic Bishops in Ghana have backed controversial comments by Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson to the effect that “it’s time to understand homosexuality.”
According to the President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Most Rev. Matthew Gyamfi, the Catholic Church has consistently held the position that while homosexuality may be considered a moral issue, it does not warrant criminalization.
