• Bungei said God created man and woman to further the human race which he said is not possible when people of the same sex come together.
Catholic priests have faulted the declaration by the Pope on same sex marriages, saying the move may end up splitting the church.
Father Emmanuel Bungei of St Joseph the Worker Catholic Church said the declaration was quite confusing, especially for Christians in Africa who believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Speaking when he delivered a homily as the church marked the feast of the Holy family, the priest said blessing such a couple would mean that the church condones the practice yet it is against the preaching of the Catholic Church and the Bible.
He said God created man and woman to further the human race which he said is not possible when people of the same sex come together.
Fr John Muindi of St Charles Lwanga Catholic church said blessing such a couple is the same as blessing sin. He termed it a foreign concept which is not acceptable.
Fr Muindi said while he has no problem blessing the congregants as that is the work of a priest, he cannot solemnise same sex marriage.
Fr Bungei said marriage can be complete without children.
The priest said while problems in the family are normal, how to address them has become quite a challenge and this has led to the breaking up of many families.
“Instead of a couple sitting together to address their problems, they resort to social media broadcasting their problems to the world. These days it is easy to know what is happening in families just by checking people’s status on WhatsApp, Facebook, and others,” the priest said.
