Proposed Italian law

mercredi 23 juin 2021 à 02:00

The Vatican objects to a proposed Italian law which might criminalize the refusal to teach certain specific ideas about gender, and refusal to conduct same-sex marriages.

I support same-sex marriages, and adoption by same-sex couples. I also support the right of people to practice their religion, so any particular church should not be required to carry out those procedures. As long as same-sex couples have other places to marry or adopt, such as state agencies, their rights are safe.

Where I see real injustice is where religious organizations have a local monopoly (or near-monopoly) on some activities, such as medical care or education. That near-monopoly gives them power over what people can do.
