Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani of Lima, Peru recently spoke out against the push to legalize same-sex “marriage” in the country.
The cardinal criticized the proposals of some presidential and congressional candidates to legalize gay “marriage” or civil unions for same-sex partners. In reality, he said, they are the same thing.
Cardinal Cipriani's remarks came during his radio program Dialogue of Faith on Jan. 22.
He then noted that the Peruvian state does not have to reflect the beliefs of a particular religion, but it should base its laws on respect for the natural order.
