Pope's Anti-Gay Tirade Blasted As 'Meddling' In Italian Election

http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/03/033006pope.htm

Pope Benedict used a meeting with Italy's right of center party o Thursday to launch a new salvo against same-sex marriage and the left of center coalition that supports domestic partner law fired back accusing the pontiff of trying to influence next month's election.

Benedict told members of Premier Silvio Berlusconi's European People's Party (EPP) that the Vatican would oppose "attempts to make juridically equivalent to radically different forms of unions which in reality harm it and contribute to its destabilization."

The church's stand, he said, was "non-negotiable".

The remarks, broadcast on Italian television, were seen as an endorsement of the EPP which has steadfastly refused to pass LGBT civil rights legislation.
