From the Recent Bishops Meeting in Ghana
November 24, 2009
As reported on AllAfrica.com:
The Catholic Bishops of Ghana have condemned certain social crimes such as pedophilia, incest, homosexuality, greed, bribery, corruption, violence, killing of others for the power and wealth infamously referred to as ” sakawa” which have been on the increase in recent times.
[...]
The Conference drew attention to the fact that some Ghanaians have gradually sidelined the imperatives of our culture which included the respect for life and elders, decency, promotion of Justice and peace through dialogues and hospitality.

I think what people will get out of the story linked to is what is in the headline –
“Catholic Bishops Condemn Pedophilia, Homosexuality in Country.” Check out this 3-minute video report for a more detailed (and balanced) account of what the African Bishops are calling for. It is far more than a laundry list of condemnations.
David, thanks for the video; I was trying to find more information beyond that quick article — I was hoping to find their report, because the article certainly made it seem like several issues were treated equally (which I doubted).
