What Bishop Abura of the Anglian Church in Uganda has to say

GayUganda is asking Catholics across the world to demand a statement from the Church against the GBLT extermination bill in Uganda. So far, the Church has not made any statement, despite official Papal positions (still theoretically standing) that GBLT people are worthy of respect as people, and against the death penalty in all forms. Catholics make up the largest single religious bloc in Uganda, but the Church remains silent in this bill. Any Catholics reading this want to pick up on that? Go to.

The Anglican church in Uganda, as mentioned before, is not officially taking a stand on the GBLT extermination bill. However, GayUganda says this is a change in response to pressure, and that meanwhile, their leadership is still delivering pro-extermination statements, declaring GBLT people to be "infectious," and a "disease" that must be exterminated. The full text is below, but here's a fun pull-quote from Bishop Joseph Abura of the Karamoja Diocese:

Homosexuality is infectious, it is a disease in the West and not so much in Africa and that is why they want to influence any agenda in order to entrench it. If it is inborn as they say, then it is transmitted and conceived in the mind, that it actualizes itself in one. Africans who have it have contracted it from the West or from acquainting with people who have it. Yes, it is infectious and it can be fought and defeated... it can be fought and stopped.

The bishop also calls for an anti-gay vaccine, and later quotes Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death," as part of his justification for the necessity of the extermination bill. Here's the full statement; enjoy:

For some Anglicans, Vices are now Virtues
Christianity in Africa is under attack by Gays and Christians in Europe and the Americas.
Africans do not need Europeans to teach them what the Gospels say.

Africa, run away from gays, let us save our continent by refuting the vice; practice, and preserve our heritage, that is our traditions and culture believing and trusting in the Almighty God. "Rise and shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). Gayism can be fought like any other disease against the people and the Word of God. It is a sickness so we can fight and defeat it. One of the ways to fight it should be by prevention of its spread, by putting laws in place, preach the Word and pray to God to heal and orient those disoriented; there is need for a commandment(s) to enforce. Christ is the answer, feelings or sympathies, especially on evil, are not! Ugandan Parliament, the watch dog of our laws, please go ahead and put the anti-Gay laws in place. It is then that we become truly accountable to our young and to this country, not to Canada or England. We are in charge! We have our entrenched birthrights, Ugandans should not accept to sell or mortgage these God given birthrights.

Bishop Joseph Abura of Karamoja Diocese, Province of the Anglican Church of Uganda.
