The Catholic Church in Uganda has apparently changed its position on the country's so-called "Kill the Gays" bill, calling on parliament to pass the measure.
The Ugandan Daily Monitor newspaper reported that Catholics joined in that new stance at the recent ecumenical conference organized by the Uganda Joint Christian Council, which represents Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox churches.
Bishops at the conference urged the parliamentary committee that is studying the bill to approve it and send it to the House.
