Lagos, Ogun catholic bishops reject blessing of same-sex unions
The Catholic Bishops of the Lagos Ecclesiastical Province have unanimously said ‘no’ to blessing same-sex marriages.
The Lagos Ecclesiastical Province comprises the Lagos Archdiocese, Ijebu Ode, and Abeokuta Dioceses.
The bishops made the position known in a communique signed by their chairman and secretary, Archbishop of Lagos and Bishop of Ijebu-Ode, Most Rev Alfred Martins, and Most Rev Francis Adesina, respectively, after their plenary meeting on Thursday in Lagos.
The clerics said they were in total agreement with the position of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, that declared no to the blessing of same-sex unions.
