Promoting condom use in schools is a deathly culture - Clergy

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.”
