VATICAN CITY — The Vatican, alarmed by growing legal acceptance of homosexual "marriage," is issuing instructions to bishops and Catholic politicians in an effort to halt the trend.
The instructions, which call on politicians to oppose extending rights granted to traditional couples, are in a document prepared by the church's guardian of orthodoxy, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The document — "Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Between Homosexual Persons" — will be released Thursday, the Vatican said.
