Pope Francis of the Roman Catholic Church has thrown his weight behind homosexual partners describing people with ‘homosexual tendencies’ as children of God.
The Pope also said that such people should be welcomed by the church.
The Pope spoke after his recent visit to South Sudan while aboard the plane from Juba to Rome.
The Pope spoke against the criminalization of homosexuality.
He argued any law that sees homosexuality as a crime was ‘injustice’.
His comment is in line with the current thinking in Europe and American that see such sex perverts as part of fundamental human rights.
The Pond News understands that the Pope views run against tradition in Africa that sees sexual relationship between a man and woman.
Here in Nigeria, it is an offence to openly confess and practise homosexuality.
