30-16. Kenya Leader Rejects Francis’ Homosexual ‘Blessings’: ‘We Will Never Accept Same-Sex Couples’...
PERVERSIONS
"Before the destruction of Sodom, warnings, many warnings were given to mankind. These warnings also fell on deafened ears. Man was created above the animals, but he has now progressed downward, down the ladder, bordering on hell. Man has joined the animals in desecration of his body with bestiality, homosexuality, and all manner of perversions."

GOOD FATHERS
"Homosexuality shall never be accepted. In the writings of the good Fathers, My child and My children, you were made fully aware in the Old and the New Testament of the Book of life and love, the Bible—you had been made full aware of the dastardly acts of mankind, as men consort with men. This shall not be accepted nor condoned by the Eternal Father even if He has to send another plague upon you."

Archbishop Philip Arnold Subira Anyolo is a venerated leader of the Catholic Church in Kenya. Born on May 18, 1956, in Tongaren, Bungoma, Kenya, he is the second of ten children. He received his elementary education at Kakamwe primary school in Tongaren and went on to the Mother of Apostles Minor Seminary in Eldoret, followed by philosophy studies at St. Augustine Major Seminary in Mabanga and theology at St. Thomas Aquinas in Nairobi.
Ordained a priest on October 15, 1983, by Bishop John Njenga of the Catholic Diocese of Eldoret, Anyolo served as the bishop's secretary and assisted with parish duties. In 1987, he completed his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.
On December 6, 1995, Pope John Paul II appointed him as the first bishop of the newly established Roman Catholic Diocese of Kericho, and he was consecrated on February 3, 1996. He was then appointed Apostolic Administrator of Homa Bay in 2002, becoming its bishop the following year. On November 15, 2018, he was appointed as the Archbishop of Kisumu and was installed on January 12, 2019.
Pope Francis appointed Anyolo as the Archbishop of Nairobi on October 28, 2021, with his installation occurring on November 20, 2021, succeeding Cardinal John Njue, who retired on January 4, 2021.
Archbishop Anyolo is known for his staunch stance on Catholic doctrine and teachings, and his leadership extends influence within and beyond the ecclesiastical domain, impacting many within the Church and broader society.

Kenya Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has supported the decision by Nairobi Archbishop Philip Anyolo to prohibit clergy from “blessing” same-sex “couples” following Pope Francis’ endorsement of such “blessings.”
“The decision by Archbishop Anyolo on blessing of same sex couples is the position of all of us from the Roman Catholic Church in Kenya. We will never accept same sex couples in the Kenyan Church, with utmost and profound respect and reverence to the Pope,” said Kuria, who has been referred to as a “heavyweight” in Kenyan politics.
In a public letter published on December 23 in response to Fiducia Supplicans, Anyolo affirmed that the clergy of his archdiocese cannot “bless” “irregular relationships, unions, or same sex couples,” in order to uphold the “perennial teachings of the Church on marriage.”
Fiducia Supplicans, signed by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and approved by Pope Francis, allows “blessings for couples in irregular situations and for couples of the same sex” in contradiction to the unchangeable Catholic teaching that the Church cannot bless sinful relationships.
“All Clergy residing and ministering in the Archdiocese of Nairobi are prohibited from blessing irregular relationships, unions, or same sex couples,” declared Anyolo. “Any form of blessing of same-sex unions and activities would go against God’s word, the teachings of the Church, the African cultural traditions, the laws of our nations, and would be scandalous to the faithful,” he continued.
He added that “homosexual unions are against reason” and “against nature.”
Anyolo pointed out that “blessing” “means approval, permission, or even commission” and that “just as a from a ‘liturgical point of view, a blessing requires that what is blessed be conformed to God’s will,’ so too, even blessing outside of the liturgical rite requires whatever is blessed conforms to God’s will.”
He also noted that the Catholic Church blesses “individual persons struggling with sin,” “primarily in the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.”
As in much of sub-Saharan Africa and in contrast to the West, Kenya’s Catholics generally hold firmly to Christian teaching and natural law as it pertains to life and the family, including regarding homosexuality.
The region’s Catholic bishops have been particularly fierce in defending Christian values. The founder of a Catholic caucus in Kenya explained at last year’s Rome Life Forum how Catholic bishops in Kenya served as watchdogs for the family as abortion and LGBT ideology were being pushed in the country by former U.S. President Barack Obama, whose own father was Kenyan.
According to Alice Muchiri, head of the Catholic MPs Secretariat and co-founder of the Kenyan Catholic MPs Spiritual Support Initiative (CAMPSSI), Kenya’s president said accepting homosexual “marriages” “wouldn’t be a priority for Kenya” after speaking with his country’s Catholic bishops.
Muchiri suggested that the Catholic bishops there have such political leverage because “in Africa, we… listen to our bishops more than we listen to the politicians and globalists.”
“That is how we have continued to win our battles against the globalists” and their agenda, the advocate explained.
"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice."
