Pope Benedict XVI has weighed in on a heated debate over gay marriage, blasting new concepts of the traditional family and warning that mankind itself is at stake, the Telegraph (British) website reports today (December 21, 2012).
"The question of the family... is the question of what it means to be a man, and what it is necessary to do to be true men," he said today.
The defense of the family, the Pope said, "is about man himself. And it becomes clear that when God is denied, human dignity also disappears."
Earlier this week, the Vatican's official newspaper criticized a plan being discussed in France to legalize both marriage and adoption for gay couples. France is expected to pass the "marriage for all" bill early next year, despite vehement opposition from the right and religious groups.
