00:35 - The Pope's declaration is still in good faith for us,
00:42 and we accept it. We are happy about it, too.
00:46 [indistinct chatter]
00:49 The Catholic Church is a world power,
00:52 and for the Church to take a decision like that,
00:56 then it's beginning to show serious feelings
01:01 about the minority of the world.
01:05 And I think he's trying to understand
01:10 the feelings of people who tend to be born different
01:17 or people who basically are now becoming, like,
01:26 the outcasts of this society.
01:29 [indistinct chatter]
01:34 [indistinct chatter]
01:40 It's going to take a very slow process.
01:43 Maybe in the next 20 years, in the next 30 years,
01:47 but right now, it will be difficult for them
01:51 to just accept this because it is also new to them,
01:56 like, it's new to every other person,
01:58 and they have to process it
02:02 until they finish the processing.
02:05 I think, like, here in Nigeria, we will have to wait.
02:11 We will have to be very patient.
02:14 [indistinct chatter]
02:18 [train rumbling]
02:23 The entire message is about inclusiveness.
02:26 We are a family. We are members of God's people.
02:31 And there are people who are being sidelined,
02:37 that we must include them in our communities
02:41 and in our Christian faith.
02:44 They are also children of God.
02:47 The judgment, finally, of what a person is
02:51 depends on God in the very end.
02:53 I think that's what the Pope said, "Who am I to judge?"
02:56 [indistinct chatter]
02:59 So it's not at all an incremental move
03:05 towards accepting what God has already decided
03:09 right from the beginning of time.
03:11 [indistinct chatter]
03:27 Imagine growing up in a Catholic home at my age,
03:31 and all of a sudden, something that we all once feared
03:37 or something that we all once criticized, you understand,
03:42 all of a sudden, it's accepted
03:45 by those same people that said it was something that was bad.
03:48 So it's actually--it's going to affect--
03:52 it's going to make the younger ones
03:54 actually question their religion.
03:57 [indistinct chatter]
04:01 It's going to take a lot to stop homophobic perceptions.
04:10 It's going to take so much.
04:12 I don't think it's even going to come in the next 10 years.
04:16 You understand?
04:17 I don't think it's going to come in the next 20 years
04:19 because even if you try to explain to one person or person A
04:23 that this person is still a human being like you,
04:28 what about person B?
04:29 You understand?
04:31 And it's, um...
04:36 it's not really going to change anytime soon.
04:39 That homophobic perception is still going to be in people's minds
04:44 no matter how it changes.

05:11 On this day, nobody shall mourn
05:14 but everybody shall make merry.
05:17 This is the day that the Lord has made.
05:21 The beginning was the world, and the world was his.
