from heterosexual couples.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The paper took particular issue with a decision by French Catholic weekly Temoignage Chretien to offer its support for a controversial proposal to allow gay marriage in France, which is due to go before parliament next year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">&#8220;It is upsetting because in taking this position, the most banal politically correct arguments were used,&#8221; the Osservatore Romano said, adding: &#8220;Being Catholic is about much more than embracing fashionable cultural standpoints.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">&#8220;We cannot base a society on these foundations without then paying a very high price as happened in the past when there was an attempt to achieve total economic and social equality,&#8221; the paper said.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">&#8220;Why repeat the same mistake and chase after an unattainable utopia?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Gay rights campaigners held a small protest on Sunday near St Peter&#8217;s Square during Pope Benedict XVI&#8217;s weekly prayers in which they held up cut-out paper hearts with slogans like &#8220;Love Thy Neighbour&#8221; and &#8220;Love Has No Barriers&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indianexpress.com\/news\/vatican-official-daily-slams-gay-marriage-as-communist-utopia\/1046959\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Fuente<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vatican&#8217;s newspaper slammed laws on gay marriage as an attempt at a communist-like &#8220;utopia&#8221;, a day after tens of thousands of demonstrators turned out..<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[149,37,43,84,97],"tags":[345],"class_list":["post-15670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discrimination","category-lgbtqia","category-media-culture","category-statements","category-us-news","tag-reactionary-watch"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/redphoenix.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/m_id_339419_gay_couple.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
