Vatican calls
same-sex marriage, abortion, euthanasia "evil"

" >

As Italy weighs giving unmarried gay and heterosexual couples legal recognition, the Vatican's second highest ranking doctrinal called same-sex marriage, abortion, and euthanasia forms of "terrorism with a human face," reports Reuters.

Archbishop Angelo Amato, secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said in a speech to chaplains that there are "evils that remain almost invisible" because the media is touting them as an "expression of human progress."

Amato listed same-sex marriage among these "evils" and said, "Parliaments of so-called civilized nations where laws contrary to the nature of the human being are being promulgated, such as the approval of marriage between people of the same sex." He also called abortion clinics "slaughterhouses of human beings." He blamed the media for using rhetoric "to hide the tragic reality of the facts," such as calling euthanasia "death with dignity."
