The Zambia Conference of Catholic (ZCCB) Bishops says homosexuality closes the sexual act to the gift of life and does not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarily.
ZCCB Secretary General Rev. Father Francis Mukosa has said this in reaction to divergent and misrepresentations that have recently flooded the media in Zambia on the position of the Catholic Bishops on homosexuality.
Father Mukosa added that acts of homosexuality are contrary to the natural law and under no circumstances can they be approved, adding that Church has always declared homosexual acts as intrinsically disordered.
He however said the Church is called to provide appropriate assistance and accompaniment to all her erring children, including those with homosexual tendencies, so that they may learn to do what is right before God and men.
The ZCCB Secretary General noted that many forces in society promote a view of sexuality in general, and homosexuality in particular, that is contrary to God’s purpose and plan for human sexuality.
Father Mukosa in a statement issued on Thursday 29th September, 2022 said any position statement, therefore, circulating on social media that contradicts the above-mentioned position is the opinion of its own authors and does not engage the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops.
