"Should we Africans allow foreigners to tell us what to do or what not to do at the level of our families, our domestic Church and first school? When the Church's moral authority to teach what is a Divine Law is destroyed, what shall protect us from having that divine mandate totally destroyed? Is it fair to exchange our birth right that is based on the freedom of a well informed conscience, for any amount of money?"
