African Bishops Mark Beginning of Lent with Call to Fight LGBT Propaganda, Homosexuality

'Some people are now not aware of the Gospel. It’s time we turn away from our evil deeds and turn back to the Lord.'

(LifeSiteNews) — Catholic bishops and priests throughout Uganda have urged the faithful to use the Lenten season to repent from grave sins like homosexuality and fight the Western-backed spread of pro-LGBT propaganda.

Per the Ugandan news outlet Daily Monitor, clergy in several dioceses have marked the beginning of Lent with calls to repentance and fasting, especially given the threat of LGBT ideology and its corruption of society.

Reverend Sanctus Lino Wanok, bishop of the Diocese of Lira, told his flock not to “lure anybody into the sin of homosexuality as it is not human; it is death, which humanity must repent against.”

“God wants salvation for that person and that person can be saved if we relieve him from that,” he added.

Father Agabito Arinaitwe, pastor of Uganda Martyrs Catholic Parish, lamented increasing cases of men and women identifying as LGBT and acting as if homosexuality were a “human right.”

“Some people are now not aware of the Gospel. It’s time we turn away from our evil deeds and turn back to the Lord,” he said.

LifeSiteNews has been reporting on the courageous Catholics in Africa opposing Western-led attempts to normalize homosexuality, abortion, and contraception among their people. Bishop Joseph Mwongela, Diocese of Kitui, Kenya, told LifeSiteNews that faithful Catholics should be willing to be martyred for fundamental truths about life, marriage, and family.

From what I hear, the Church in Africa could save the world.

The pope was thoroughly embarrassed by African bishops when he visited Congo and South Sudan earlier this month. He didn't think they took their faith seriously.

There is what many consider a cult here in the U.S.

We follow the TLM, traditional Latin Mass. Our parish in Brooksville, FL sees the last legitimate Pope leaving in 1958. We don’t have anything to do with Vatican II. Very committed faithful do exist here in the US. Just ask the FBI. They’ll direct you to those the are following very closely.

“African Bishops Mark Beginning of Lent with Call to Fight LGBT Propaganda, Homosexuality”

If one wonders why Third World countries, particularly in Africa, DESPISE US, it is due to the Neocons/Globalists (Ukraine Cheerleaders) pushing the above.

They’re giving Russia and China a FREE RUN to link up with these countries by the attitude of the the IDIOTS running the West, and they don’t even realize it...but they will, when they come DEMANDING minerals and raw materials.

Due to their lack of acceptance of the Alphabet crowd they aren’t Pope Frankie’s type of believers. To be in Frankie’s good graces you have to celebrate the perverts and even invite them in to groom the kiddies.

We need an African Pope. I’ve felt that way since JPII passed.

I have been saying that for six months.

I’m hoping to get the ear of someone in power who could force Frank to retire so we could have a Leader of the Church who believes in the CHURCH, AS IS.

Not with the stupid, popular screamers who have big voices and small brains.

The Catholic Church should be CONSTANT. Not fall away from our tenets for the sake of a brief ...hopefully brief...dance with the devil.

“big voices and small brains”

You are confusing stupidity with evil.

Evil is not stupid or smart.

It is just evil.

“...an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.

Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:

That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.”

Perhaps Francis is one like Herod.

Good point. Since liberals hang on every word a black person says. The African CC may be the only ones who get through to them.

Not if they aren't the right kind of black, then they are an "Uncle Tom" "Race Traitor".
