Homosexuality forms bulk of Xmas sermons

Religious leaders yesterday condemned homosexuality as they led thousands of Christians in prayers to mark Christmas Day. Bishop of Kampala Archdiocese Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, who led celebrations at Rubaga Cathedral, told hundreds of Christians that homosexuality is immoral and forbidden.

"The Catholic bishops of Uganda applaud the government's effort to protect families and the church teachings remain clear. Homosexuality acts are immoral and evil and are against the divine laws of nature," he said.
