I suppose it is a mixed blessing. This Catholic archbishop is finally admitting that persecuting a particular group of people is wrong. It’s interesting to note how long it took the Catholic Church to actually say something in support of gay people. On the other hand, the Church’s teaching is still unacceptable to me—-i.e. there is something intrinsically wrong with being gay and that one needs to be treated for this “illness”. The usual mantra of condemn the sin and not the sinner has worn thin.

That was Sentamu’s opposition to the bill. Sadly, the Anglican Church of Uganda supports this bill. Some Anglican church leaders in Uganda warned members of parliament that they would lose Anglican votes if they blocked the bill. Homophobia is causing the global Anglican Church to split.
