“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself
for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and
Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen” (Galatians 1:3-5 NRSV)
We, the members of the Ghana Catholic COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY THE GCBC ON HOMOSEXUALITY
Bishops’ Conference, in the light of recent
discussions among many Ghanaians on homosexuality and on whether or not it
should be criminalized, have seen the need to address the theme “The Catholic
Church and the State on Homosexuality”. Homosexuality may be defined as sexual
interest in and attraction to members of one’s own sex. We will begin by stating
what the position of the Catholic Church is on homosexuality.
