"The Bishop of the Jinja Diocese of the Catholic Church, Bishop Rt. Rev. Fr. Charles Wamika, in today’s Easter Message delivered at St. Chalres Lwanga Catholic Church, praised the Members of Parliament for the Anti-Homosexuality Act that provides life in prison for gay (LGBTI) people in Uganda. The Bishop called for a blessing for Uganda’s Christians who worked so hard to ‘free the land of gays.’ The Bishope also asked for parents to hand over their gay children to authorities, so they would be rewarded in heaven. I would call that a statement praising and calling for a genocide."

I find it meaningful that none of you who celebrate the Pope have the basic decency to address the pogrom in Uganda, which the Pope refuses to condemn, which his Bishops are cheering for even as DUers promote the Pope.
I get that you think he got the trains to run on time, I just don't think that excuses hate and bigotry and pogrom.
