A Catholic Priest has told Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, the founder and pastor of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) that marrying off his adopted autistic son due to his uncontrollable sxual urge is not the solution. Pastor Chinyere had claimed that his adopted son who is autistic has troubles controlling his sxual urge among other children in the house. He claimed the boy gets an erection all the time and he does not want the boy to impregnate one of the children in the home. As a result, he is seeking an older woman he would pay to marry the autistic son and help curb his sxual urges. Responding, Catholic Priest Father Prince Chidi Philip told Pastor Chibuzor that his autistic son needs protection, not marriage. The Priest wrote: From one priest to another servant of Christ Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, I write to you both as a minister of the same Master Jesus, and as someone deeply involved in caring for people with mental challenges. "When I watched your video and read the follow-up post, especially the suggestion to married off this young man through a monetized marriage arrangement to manage his sxual urges, I was not only disturbed, I was deeply troubled in my spirit. What is being proposed is not just inappropriate; it is a serious violation of both the dignity of the human person and the sacredness of the Sacrament of Marriage. "Marriage is not a tool for managing mental challenges or biological impulses. It is a covenant, a vocation, a sacred union rooted in love, responsibility, and mutual consent. To reduce it to a mere solution for sxual urges, especially in the case of someone who is mentally vulnerable, is to strip it of its divine meaning and to exploit the weakness of another human being. "My dear Pastor, if there is a lack of adequate knowledge or formation in caring for individuals with mental challenges, then humility demands a responsible decision: either seek proper training, collaborate with professionals, or entrust such individuals to institutions better equipped for their care. But to propose marriage as a solution reveals not just a gap in understanding, but a dangerous one. "What this young man is experiencing is not strange. It is part of human nature. Every man, regardless of mental condition, experiences natural sxual urges. But the response to such realities must be guided by wisdom, ethics, and proper therapeutic approaches, not impulsive or exploitative decisions disguised as solutions. There are established methods of behavioral therapy, structured environments, medical guidance, and what we call sxual rehabilitation, all aimed at helping individuals manage such impulses with dignity and care. "Let me make this even more direct: in our own community, we care for a child with autism who also shows signs of same-sx attraction. Following your logic, should we now begin to look for a man to marry him off in order to regulate his urges? Does that sound like care or like abandonment of responsibility? "I also found it deeply inappropriate and disturbing that your post went into explicit and unnecessary descriptions of this young mans sxual condition. Such details do not educate; they dehumanize. They expose rather than protect. At a point, I genuinely hoped your account had been compromised, because it is difficult to reconcile such content with the responsibility of someone entrusted with vulnerable lives. "Those who are mentally challenged are not burdens to be managed or problems to be solved. They are persons to be loved, protected, accompanied, and dignified. They need fathers, not opportunists; shepherds, not strategists of convenience. "Marrying off a vulnerable individual under such circumstances is not just ethically wrong, it is spiritually irresponsible. It borders on exploitation masked as charity. "Please, protect these children. Be a true spiritual father to them. Walk with them patiently, even when it is difficult. And if you have reached your limit, there is no shame in acknowledging that and seeking better-equipped hands. What is unacceptable is turning their vulnerability into an experiment. "Let us not confuse visibility with impact, or popularity with truth. Not everything that trends is right, and not everything that draws attention is worthy of imitation. This is not an attack, it is a call to conscience."
