Catholics Urge Pope Francis to Speak Out for LGBT Rights

A group of Catholics is urging Pope Francis to speak out against laws criminalizing homosexuality.

The Catholic bishops of Uganda, which is 41% Catholic, opposed a 2009 version of a recent bill that would criminalize homosexuality, saying that it did “not pass a test of a Christian caring approach to this issue.”

From 2012:
The Uganda Joint Christian Council, which includes Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox bishops, has called on parliament to move the notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill forward. According to the Ugandan newspaper The Daily Monitor:


Top religious leaders from across the country have asked Parliament to speed-up the process of enacting the Anti-Homosexuality law to prevent what they called “an attack on the Bible and the institution of marriage.”

Speaking after their recent annual conference organised by the Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC), an ecumenical body which brings together the Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox churches, the bishops resolved that the parliamentary committee on Gender should be tasked to engage the House on the Bill which is now at committee level.
