A Nigerian Catholic Reverend Father serving in Gambia, Rev Fr Kelvin Ugwu has revealed that the devil can wipe out Christianity from the world by destroying the Catholic Church.
The clergyman stated this while reacting to Pope Francis’s submission on same-sex marriage.
Earlier in the week, a report emerged that the Vatican has approved blessings for same-s*x couples.
The development has stirred controversies across the world, with many Christians, including some Catholic bishops, distanced themselves from the document.
Some people of other religions have also taken to social media to ridicule Christians over the development.
Speaking via his Facebook page, Fr Kelvin Ugwu urged his followers to stay away from posts mocking the Christian faith.
“A document that almost every Bishop had to explain and clarify to their diocesan people, the Catholic Bishops conferences had to explain, and priests had to explain to their parishioners both online and offline, is not a good document.
“Yes, the document did not say much or make any clear stipulations, and that is basically the problem with the document. What it did not say is more devastating than what it was trying to say.
“The ambiguity is what will make someone like Fr James Martin come publicly to post himself blessing his homos*xual friends and get away with it.
“For Christians all over the world, I say this. . . If the devil wants to scatter this Christian faith kpatakpata, all he needs to do is to destroy the Catholic church. You may not see it, but I don’t pray you see it ever. This is not the time for mockery. Don’t join those who have been looking for this opportunity to ridicule our faith in Christ.
“For Catholics, your faith is in Christ Jesus and luckily you have a good idea of what he stands for. While he won’t condemn the human persons, he won’t condone homos*xual acts.
“My one conviction is the words of Christ:
“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not PREVAIL against it.” ~Matthew 16:18
“Enough said. . .“
