Outrageous Anglican leader’s claims of dangerous homosexuals trying to kill him, subvert Africa via generosity to poor

”Nowadays, I don’t wear my collar when I am in countries which have supporters of homosexuals…. I am forced to dress like a civilian because those people are dangerous. They can harm anybody who is against them. Some of them are killers. They want to close the mouth of anybody who is against them.”

Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi’s remarks before Christians at Kitunga archdeaconry, West Ankole diocese, also indicated that there was no “rights” to gay sex or lesbian marriage, and that homosexuals were making donations, building schools and offering scholarships to purposefuly take advantage of Africa’s poor. Orombi, of the Church of Uganda, is notable because he is a leading force against gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson in the USA, and some American Episcopal congregations are said to be splitting off and turning to Orombi’s anti-gay, conservative Anglican leadership instead.
