Gambia News : Gambian Catholic Church opposes the ordination of women as priests

Father Jarjue was critical of gay marriage. He said gay marriages have no place in the Catholic Church. He remarked, “As far as I am concerned, gay marriage is unthinkable. It amounts to complete distortion of nature. Gay marriage has no purpose and I don’t think even animals involve themselves in such practices.”

He added that Christians live by values and not personal rights, adding that as long as one is a Christian, he or she lives by values of a community. He indicated that if one wants to deviate from those values, he should not call himself a Christian.

Father Jarjue said gay marriage is simply ridiculous. “I know it is happening, but there is no way the Catholic Church can condone indecent practices such as gay marriage. There are certain orientations I call likes, but not as rights. Homosexuals should be psychologically examined.”
