Archbishop Kleda calls for mobilization against homosexuality

Samuel Kleda, Metropolitan Archbishop of Douala since 2009 and Chairman of the Cameroon National Episcopal Council has called for a nationwide mobilization against homosexuality. "Christians and all people of good will must be mobilized to bar the way to homosexuality. It is an abomination ", the man of God declared recently. Archbishop Kleda denounced the popularizing of homosexuality on the African continent by European and American associations.

The prelate's position is largely shared by all Cameroonian Catholic Church which is obedience to God rather than US and European law makers. The Archbishop wondered aloud "How will we live in a world where men marry men and women marry women, and want to simultaneously ensure procreation? In the same vein, Cardinal Christian Tumi, said "homosexuality is a crime against humanity." Such statements meet with the approval of all the faithful in a country where homosexuality is condemned by the law.
