The Most Reverend Peter Akwasi Sarpong, Catholic Archbishop of Kumasi, has condemned the importation and use of condoms which he said encouraged adultery and fornication.
Archbishop Sarpong said this at the Eucharistic celebration of Saint William’s Catholic Chaplaincy of the University College of Education Winneba (Kumasi Campus) at Tanoso. He said getting HIV/AIDS could be avoided if couples stayed faithful to each other while the unmarried refrained from casual sex.
He advised the students to stay clear of drugs, immorality, indiscipline and questionable dressing and behaviour, saying, “God is God because He is holy” and his followers should lead decent and holy lives. Professor Jophus Anamuah-Mensah, Principal of the university, commended the Catholic Archdiocese for the 10 billion cedi students’ hostel under construction for the university.
Professor Anamuah-Mensah said the block would accommodate 710 students of the university without any discrimination. He expressed satisfaction with the partnership that the university and the Catholic Archdiocese had forged for the infrastructure development of the campus. Mr George Mawuli Damen, President of the International Movement of Catholic Students of the university, expressed his appreciation for the Archbishop’s pastoral visit.
