Kumuyi Respond to Pope Francis’ Approval of Same-Sex Blessings.
The recent announcement by Pope Francis allowing priests to bestow blessings upon same-sex couples has stirred reactions from religious leaders worldwide. Among those expressing a contrasting view is Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Church.
During the opening ceremony of a joint event for the global crusade and the 2023 National December Retreat, themed “Emmanuel,” Kumuyi strongly shared his belief that same-sex marriage contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ as outlined in the Bible.
“In obedience to Christ and submission to Him, we carry on the works of Christ that said a man and a woman should be joined together in marriage until death do us part,” declared Kumuyi. He emphasized that the command of Christ was clear – marriage is meant to be between a man and a woman.
The juxtaposition between Pope Francis’ approval and Kumuyi’s steadfast adherence to traditional Christian values highlights the diversity of perspectives within the global religious community. Kumuyi grounded his stance in the biblical teachings of Christ, reinforcing the belief that the sanctity of marriage is defined by the union of a man and a woman.
Addressing the yuletide season, Kumuyi took the opportunity to guide believers on the importance of the season. He cautioned against practices that does not honor Christ Jesus, specifically mentioning smoking, drinking substances, and engaging in activities detrimental to health. This reflects a broader concern for the well-being of youths within the context of religious teachings.
Moreover, Kumuyi expressed his dedication to impacting the youth, designating December 26 as ‘Youth Impact’ day. His plan is to discuss the transformative work of ‘Emmanuel’ and provide a roadmap for young people seeking meaning in their lives.
“I have the vision, passion, and a mission towards the young people. We don’t condemn them, but we want to show them the best alternative,” Kumuyi stated, while emphasizing his desire to guide the youth toward a purposeful and meaningful life.

This your report is outdated. In fact, it is a product of cut and nail journalism that does not see between the lines before publishing and would not retract falseful publications.
You could read and misunderstand that the Pope gave approval to blessing of same sex marriage but never understood that he did not constitute, approve the constitution of same sex marriage or bless same sex marriage but bless people in same sex marriage but not the marriage like he does to all human in the understanding that the blessing he administer to people of all kinds is not his but God’s.
Still your journalism did not see, hear or report that the Pope, thereafter, decreed to the Catholic Church that no Priest, Bishop or Arc Bishop should constitute or bless same sex marriage because of your malicious antagonism against the Catholic faith.
You can do but very minute against God’s Truth because He is overwhelmingly omnipotent and omniscient.
