By John-Henry Westen
VATICAN, January 12, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI addressed Italian politicians today noting the importance of laws protecting life and family. In Italy, homosexual ‘marriage’ has already surfaced in political debate. The Pope told the assembled politicians, “It is a grave error to obscure the value and the functions of the legitimate family based on marriage, attributing to other forms of union inappropriate forms of legal recognition, for which there is no real social need.”
