Catholic Family Campaign

Italy’s left wing is upset that the Vatican spoke out against Italys plan to grant legal status to gay couples.

“Too often here in Italy the Church mistakes itself for the state,” Mercedes Bresso of the Democrats of the Left told the daily L’Unita.

While acknowledging that “any direct intervention by the Church in the area would be illegitimate interference”, the pope defended the Church’s right to “affirm and defend great values that give meaning to a person’s life and safeguard its dignity”.

I commend the Vatican in this action.  Catholics, and all Catholic institutions, have a responsibility to defend the truth and to speak out against attacks on the values that we all cherish.
