The Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference has accused the Ministry of
Gender, Children and Social Protection of helping international
organisations propagate a deathly agenda of condom use in schools.
In a Communiqué issued at the end of this year's plenary Assembly in
Accra, which was on the theme: The Pastoral Challenges of the Family
in the Context of Evangelisation", the Conference said, among others
things: "We also deplore in no uncertain terms a radical and faceless
culture of death which promotes among other things the supply and use
of the condom in our schools, the in vitro fertilization and the
contraception agenda of some national and international institutions
in Ghana."
"Painfully, some Ghanaian homosexual and pro-abortion groups, and even
our Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection overtly and
subtly support these international organizations," the Bishops
complained.
They said in the communiqué: "We wish to draw the attention of all
Ghanaians to this dangerous "culture of death" being imposed on us and
call on all Ghanaians to forcefully reject this so-called freedom
which indeed is suicidal."
"Further, we urge those who represent Ghana at the United Nations and
other such bodies to realise that these practices are culturally
abominable and morally and spiritually reprehensible," the Bishops
said.
The Conference, therefore, urged them "to refrain from endorsing such
disastrous protocols on our behalf. Whenever they do sign such
protocols, they betray the trust the good people of Ghana have vested
in them. We are to remind ourselves of the well-known fact that a
nation that kills its unborn babies has no future."
