Cardinal Peter Turkson Of Ghana Denounces Uganda's Anti-Gay Law
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — A Vatican cardinal has criticized
Uganda's anti-gay law and called for the repeal of its severe
penalties.
Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, president of the
Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said Tuesday that "homosexuals
are not criminals" and shouldn't be sentenced for up to life in prison.
Speaking
to reporters in Bratislava where he attended a conference on the
Catholic Church and human rights, Turkson said the Vatican also calls on
the international community to keep providing aid.
Uganda has
been hit with substantial aid cuts in reaction to the law. The World
Bank has postponed a $90 million loan for Uganda's health systems.
Pope Francis has made a point of reaching out to gays, famously saying: "Who am I to judge?"
