Catholic Bishops from across Africa have sent the strongest signal to the West that the continent will not accept any form of dictatorship on the issue of homosexuality.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of Tuesday's 2nd plenary assembly of the group, President of the Regional Episcopal conference of West Africa, Cardinal Theodore Sarr said Africans must be alert to prevent any negative indoctrination from the West to accept same sex marriage.

"Beware.....we are living in a world where the western world, especially the Americans, behave like people who have to think for the rest of the world, they have to decide for the rest of the world but we say that no, you can't decide for the rest of the world.

"We also have our culture, traditions and so we need to avoid the several limitations of the western world, we need to do things based in our traditions, our practices and customs, we cannot condemn people who are homosexuals....but it is not because you accept it that everybody must also," Cardinal Sarr said.

Their criticism of the US is well placed. The Obama State Dept. has made the worlwide promotion and normalization of homosexual activity one of its top priorities (along with Muslim outreach — go figure). Of course the EU does the same. It is pure cultural imperialism of the Left.

Wow. Sounds like a nice place to go to Mass on a Sunday Morning! Way to keep it Real Ghana.

Now we’ll get to see the amusing spectacle of liberals angrily condemning Africans as backward and unenlightened. And maybe they’ll start throwing bile at the Catholic Church again, their love affair with Comrade Francis notwithstanding.

OK, remind me again, where did AIDS first appear and then spread throughout the world?

Wow, “dictatorship on the issue of homosexuality”, I love that phrase!

It's already happened in the Anglican Church. The Anglican Bishops in Africa are vehemently opposed to any recognition of same sex couples and have been sneered at for being so "out of date" and uneducated, even though many have doctorates in theology from US and European schools.

even though many have doctorates in theology from US and European schools.

And still retained their sanity? Remarkable ...

At last, an issue in which the Multiculti support American cultural imperialism over non-Western "indigenous pipples!"

I notice that "African-Americans" never seem to have any problem with allying with homosexuality. Guess they'll have to turn against the "homophobic" mother continent.

One thing that always amazes me is how Libs always want to throw out science and be the intellectual type. I’d like one to explain how if homosexuals are born that way, should there be less of them over time, or more. I’m thinking that the laws of science would eliminate homosexuals due to an impossibility to reproduce, or at least limit them. Thus, you cannot be born homo and pass the scientific test. You can’t pass along something genetic via oral or anal sex!
