Pope Francis' Approval of Same-Sex Blessings Faces Backlash in Africa

The Pope's decision has sparked a debate within the Catholic Church, with African bishops leading the resistance due to cultural views on homosexuality.

Pope Francis recently approved blessings for same-sex couples, sparking widespread debate within the Catholic Church.
Strong resistance to this decision has come from African bishops, who argue that homosexuality is culturally viewed as 'bad' and is not tolerated in Africa.
In some African countries, same-sex activity can lead to imprisonment or even the death penalty.
Pope Francis maintains that the blessings should be given in a way that takes into account the context and sensitivities of the location.
The Pope's decision has caused a rift between the Vatican and African churches, with some calling for a boycott of the Pope and the Church of Rome.
