Pope Says Same-Sex Marriages and Abortions Are the Most Dangerous Challenges of Society

In a strongly worded attack, Pope Benedict XVI today (May 13, 2010) insisted that marriage should be founded on the "indissoluble" marriage between a man and a woman, according to the Telegraph (British) website.

Addressing a huge crowd at the shrine of Fatima at the climax of his four-day visit to Portugal, the 83-year-old Pope said that same-sex marriage and abortion were among the "most insidious and dangerous challenges that today confront the common good."

He expressed his "profound appreciation" for anti-abortion campaigners, whom he praised for defending the right to life and the "recovery of people wounded by the drama of abortion."

The Vatican regards being homosexual as a "deviation" and an "irregularity" and the act of homosexual sex as a sin.
