Pope Declares War On Italy's Government Over Gay Unions
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/05/051106pope.htm

Pope Benedict warned Italy's new left-of-center government on Thursday that the Vatican will use all of its power to thwart any move to recognize same-sex couples.

Speaking at a Vatican conference on marriage and the family, Benedict condemned gay unions - especially marriage - noting that marriage must be a union between a man and a woman and must be open to procreation.

"Only the rock of total and irrevocable love between a man and a woman is capable of being the foundation of building a society that becomes a home for all mankind," the Pope told the conference.

His speech sparked immediate censure from Prime Minister Romano Prodi's coalition.
