The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria affirms that their churches will not bless same-sex unions, stating it goes against God’s law, church teachings, and the nation’s laws.
They clarify Pope Francis’s remarks, emphasizing the distinction between ritual blessings and informal prayers, asserting that while blessings for individuals in irregular unions may be considered, the Church cannot bless the unions themselves, maintaining its traditional stance on marriage as an exclusive and indissoluble union between a man and a woman.
