President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, has said the stand of the church against same sex marriages is unwavering.
He said the church would not excommunicate the gay community,but would assist them with prayers and counselling to overcome their abnormal behaviours.
Kaigama, who spoke in Jos while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the 3rd Extra Ordinary Synod of the Family of the Catholic Church held in Rome recently, said the outcome of the synod had been given varied interpretation, especially on the position of the church on homosexuality.
According to him, the Church does not condone and had not endorsed same sex marriage, and considers marriage as a union between a man and a woman for the purpose of raising a family to reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ on the importance of the family as a domestic church.
