CATHOLIC BISHOPS OPPOSE BLESSING OF SAME SEX MARRIAGES
The Zambia Conference for Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) has opposed the blessing of same-sex couples in Zambia.
According to the Pastoral Statement made available, the Conference has guided that the Declaration from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith of December 18th 2023 concerning the blessing of same-sex couples be taken as for further reflection and not for implementation in Zambia.
The statement states that this is in order to avoid any pastoral confusion and ambiguity as well as not to break the Zambian laws which forbids same sex unions and activities.
Indigo Tyrol, can you comment on this issue. You have accusing president HH of supporting homosexuality without any proof of it but here is the Catholic pope himself supporting it publicly. I have seen on many occasions you have prided yourself in the catholic church. Can you give your comment on this matter.
Straight forward, the Pope is not supporting homosexuality. Read the statement from the Vatican carefully, otherwise you will be spreading lies.
Our president, on the other hand, has normalised LGBT activities in the country. That is why he is a darling of the USA, his backers. That is why he tried to change our education curriculum to include LGBT. That is why so many in Lusaka have come out knowing that there is now an unwritten law to look the other way, and let them thrive. They are Zambians, and I agree with the approach Hakainde has taken.
As a Roman Catholic I am extremely happy and proud of our Zambuan bishops for rejecting this abomination.
Why are PF minions like Mumbi Phiri and given Lubinda so quiet? I expected them to castigate their Pope on this matter.
Because unlike you or Miles Sampa, they took time to read the statement from the Vatican in full.
So are you saying the bishops didn’t not read what the pope said for them to respond in such a manner only you understood it? Why are they saying Zambia will go by its belief system and not what the pope has said if the pope didn’t not allow same sex marriage?
On the other hand president HH himself and the government has said on several occasions that they don’t support the vise but since you hate him so much, you can never believe or see anything good in him no matter what he does. And it’s true what they say that when you hate someone, you can never see anything good in them and the opposite is also true that when love someone, they can never do anything thing in your eyes and can easily just their wrong. And clearly this is the case with you.
If you think Hakainde is not an LGBT champion for the USA, then you are very naive. And as I said, I do not see anything wrong with this approach. If he started arresting gay people, some of your close relatives, your pastor, or even children will be jailed. This practice is so wide spread that a lot of people swing both ways in Zambia. In jail, no one comes out intact without having been someone’s wife. It does not matter who you are in jail.

Yaba.
I do not hate Hakainde. I am his critic. There is a big difference.
There is also a big difference between blessing same sex couples, and same sex marriages. The Pope has given his blessings to the former. The Zambia Bishops have not endorsed this. This is the beginning of a split in the Church, the same way the Anglicans split up, due to this same subject.
I hope it is now clear to you.
I was a very harsh critic of ECL during his rule. Take time to look at my blogs before August 2021 here or Lusaka Times. Then come back and judge me.
This is a very tricky situation the Catholic church is making us go through. The ZCCB should have made their stand very clear to their Pope. They should have told him that Zambian’s Christian values are anchored on Biblical principles which forbid same sex relationships. They should have told him that Zambian’s constitution outlaws same sex relationships. And they should also told him that Zambian’s traditional and cultural values do not subscribe to same sex relationships.
But for them to just clarify what their Pope has decreed is not enough. In fact ZCCB would not be trusted on this.
Bible says a little wine is good for your health. Pope might have taken more of this good wine to the extend that he good trunk, and in the state of being trunk from this first grade wine, shetan entered him to make changes in the Catholic teachings by inserting this demonic teachings.
This is now the beginning of splitting the Roman into two, the pro LGTBQ and Original one. Watch the pace

Kutumpa…go and ask him what he ment that exibiting your stupidity. If what you are saying is true, then what advise can you give to you fellow bishops in Nigeria? Stupid idiot
The truth is that the Pope has errored and has gone against Biblical teachings that forbids same sex marriages as well as fornication and adultery. True followers of the true teachings of the word of God Almighty in the Holy Bible should condemn in the strongest terms the pronouncements made by the Pope concerning marriages of the same sex. It is devilish and Satanic and people should not entertain the falsehood coming from the Pope.
The Pope is not God but mere humanbeing who is trying to mislead the masses in the Catholic Faith. Jesus Christ talked about false teachers and false doctrine.
