According to Rev. Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, a Nigerian Catholic missionary priest living in the Gambia, the devil may eradicate Christianity from the planet by eliminating the Catholic Church.

The cleric made this statement in response to Pope Francis’s accommodation of same-sex marriages.

Earlier this week, there was a story that claimed the Vatican had given the go-ahead for same-sex couples to be blessed.

As many Christians, including some Catholic bishops, distanced themselves from the text, this development has sparked controversy worldwide.

Additionally, some people have made fun of Christians on social media for the development.

Ugwu, in a Facebook post, advised his followers to avoid posts that insult the Christian faith.

“This is not the time for Jest,” he remarked. Don’t join those who have been waiting for this moment to mock our faith in Christ.

“I say to Christians all over the world: if the devil wants to scatter this Christian faith, kpatakpata, he only needs to destroy the Catholic church.” You might not see it, but I hope you never do.”

Further, the priest claimed that the vagueness in the Vatican’s document was to blame for the disputes.

“A document that almost every Bishop had to explain and clarify to their diocesan people, the Catholic Bishops conferences had to explain, and priests had to explain to their parishioners both online and offline, is not a good document.

“Yes, the document did not say much or make any clear stipulations, and that is basically the problem with the document. What it did not say is more devastating than what it was trying to say,” he added.
