The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Ignatius Kaigama has declared that the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis never approved same-sex marriage.
Kaigama made the clarification during a Mass at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Catholic Pro-Cathedral in Abuja.
The cleric said media report that the Pope approved same-sex marriage was part of deliberate falsehood by enemies of the Catholic Church, who have been spending huge amount of funds to destabilize the church.
Archbishop Kaigama insisted that the Pope would never approve such, as the position of the church is very clear on the matter.
He urged Christians most especially Catholic Church members not to allow their faith to be shaken by series of attacks against the church, as darkness can never overcome light.
The cleric also called on criminals who delight in kidnapping Catholic priests to desist from such, to avoid the wrath of God.
