On December 18, 2023, the Vatican saw fit to publish the declaration “Fiducia supplicans”. For those who do not speak Latin like Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu it simply means in French, “Pleading trust”. Difficult to understand for those who do not understand the language of priests. But when the sub-Saharan bishops read the famous declaration, the blood boiled under their cassocks. By this declaration, priests are authorized to bless same-sex couples. Hell and damnation! It’s all about blessing the LGBTQIA+! For those who don’t know, L matches Lesbians, G to Gays, B to Bisexuals, T to Transsexual, Q to Queers, I to Intersex, A to Asexual or Aromantic and + to many other terms designating genders and sexualities. It’s too much!

The response from the shepherd to the shepherdess was not long in coming. The priests are not always tolerant even if they dress in robes like the women. They have become completely gray as a racist said. According to him, Africans turn gray when they are angry. Likewise, Europeans turn red and Chinese turn canary yellow. Saperlipopette! On January 11, the Churches of Africa announced in a 5-page document signed by Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu himself that they were opposed to blessing couples in an irregular situation. The African bishops expressed themselves in these terms: “We, African bishops, do not consider it appropriate for Africa to bless homosexual unions or same-sex couples because, in our context, this would cause confusion and be in direct contradiction with the cultural ethos of African communities …” Stupor and tremors! They dared to challenge a Vatican instruction! This recalls to a lesser extent the challenge in 1517 by Martin Luther, then an Augustinian priest, to the trade in indulgences. By buying them, we escaped purgatory. Seeking funds to build Saint Peter’s Basilica, Popes Julius II and Leo X invented this stratagem which became a real money pump. Fortunately, otherwise we wouldn’t have all these architectural and artistic wonders in the Vatican. Even Marshal Mobutu had purchased plenary indulgences in his time. Some will be surprised to come across him in heaven, frolicking with the angels while they believe he is in hell. Sapristi!

For the pope, Africans would constitute a special case in the opposition of bishops and many other peoples of the world to homosexuality. He spoke something like this: “Those who protest vehemently belong to small ideological groups”. Above all, we must not question the vision of the Pope under penalty of excommunication and ending his death in Gehenna. This is how schisms begin. Anyway next!

According to my friend who knows what’s going on in every nook and cranny of broken-down Kinshasa, there are also homosexuals in our area. Hell and damnation! They often work in hair salons. There are also smart people who prostitute themselves in expatriate circles by pretending to be homosexuals. They are married and fathers of large families. The job allows them to make the pots sing at home and meet other household needs. This explains this, my friend who has gone crazy has been trying to join the LGBTQIA+ since he learned that they easily obtain visas to go to Europe and the right to asylum. He was stunned when he learned that the movement even had an 8-color rainbow flag. He then found a vocation as a hairdresser. Saperlipopette! My know-it-all friend says that the LGBTQIA+ movement is currently very strong in Western countries. Some see this movement as a decline of the West while others speak of a change in mentalities and tolerance.

We say that family ties are created at night, in privacy; the bonds of friendship are woven during the day.
