(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In a case that is rapidly gaining national attention, the Italian government ’s education ministry has threatened a “severe” response to a Catholic school in northern Italy that sacked a teacher believed to be a lesbian. Education Minister Stefania Giannini told  La Repubblica  that her office has started an investigation into the decision of the school’s headmistress not to renew the contract of a female teacher out of a need to protect the “moral ethics” of “the school’s  environment.” Mother Eugenia Libratore, a religious sister of the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the headmistress of Sacro Cuore school in Trent, said the teacher, who has not been named in the press, was “adequate and professional.” She added, how...

ROME , May 12, 2014 – The municipal authorities of the city of Crotone in the far south of Italy have voted to allow resident same-sex partners to register as “ civil unions ,” despite the fact that there is no provision in Italian law for such recognition. Opponents of the move have called it “futile” and ideologically motivated, since such registries would have no legal reality. On May 6, the town council  approved a resolution  that said the intention was to “provide for the protection and support of civil unions in order to overcome situations of discrimination and promoting integration into the social, cultural and economic development of the territory.” “Areas of concern” for the resolution included “housing, health and social services, youth policy, sports, education, school and educational services, rights and participation, transportation.” It says that the new rule will allow the registry of “civil unions” for “two persons of different sex or of the sam...

ROME , April 30, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A pamphlet, intended for use in schools, has been called homosexual pornography and indoctrination by some concerned parents in the region of Reggio Emilia . Earlier this month, the national homosexual lobby group Arcigay distributed a leaflet at the Istituto Superiore Cattaneo-Dall'Aglio, a high school in Castelnuovo Monti, that included highly explicit language giving information on the best method for homosexuals to “have sex without risk.” The leaflet was aimed at “children up to 15 years” and includes instructions on oral and anal sex and the advice to “get a gay doctor, and be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.” It also details the various “safe” uses of “sex toys.” The leaflet includes a cartoon illustration that gives a graphic depiction of a nude reclining man, his genitals barely covered with a cloth, as well as drawings showing how to use a condom. It claims to give information on how to engage in sexual practic...

ROME,  – A court in the Tuscan city of Grosseto has ordered the city council to accept the “marriage” of two men, the first time such a union has been given juridical recognition in Italy . Giancarlo Cerrelli, vice president of the Catholic Lawyer’s Guild, says the ruling is a “creative judgment that takes no account of the Civil Code and the jurisprudence of the European Union .” Two homosexual men, Giuseppe Chigiotti and Stefano Bucci, contracted a legal “marriage” ceremony in New York in December last year, then returned to Italy and filed a suit against the town of Grosseto in an attempt to force the issue through the courts. The method has been highly successful in most jurisdictions around the western world, where courts in Canada, the US, Britain, Australia, and across Europe have been used by homosexual activists to overturn laws defining natural marriage. Despite what some media outlets have claimed, however, both legal experts and homosexual activists ...

ROME , December 20, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A  set of instructions  for journalists by a government department that threatens professional sanctions and possible jail time for writing unfavorably about homosexuality and “gay marriage,” has raised outrage among some sections of the Italian parliament . The document is a straightforward attempt to co-opt the entire profession into the homosexual agenda, a group of 21 Deputies has said. Alessandro Pagano, a Deputy from Sicily and a staunch opponent of the parliamentary abortion and euthanasia lobbies, has called the guidelines “a gag order ” and a deliberate suppression of “freedom of information and expression” by an ideologically motivated faction. It presages, he said, “the new forms of dictatorship of the twenty-first century." The document, issued by the Ministry of Equal Opportunities’ racial discrimination office, (Ufficio Nazionale Antidiscriminazioni Razziali, UNAR) instructs journalists not to portray any hin...

VENICE, September 4, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The municipal government of the city of Venice, Italy has passed a law banning the terms “mother” and “father on forms parents must fill out to gain a place for their children at publicly funded day care and kindergartens.  The “ civil rights and anti-discrimination ” policy was introduced by city councilor Camilla Seibezzi, who said that such changes to language are a fundamental objective to combat stereotypes. “The [linguistic] construction forms a category of thought, a daily practice,” she said.  The newspaper,  Corriere del Veneto , reports that the terms will be replaced by “parent 1” and “parent 2”. The change has not been popular, however, and Seibezzi has lodged a complaint with police against comments posted to a social media platform that she says were threatening.  Seibezzi told the Venetian daily La Nuova that “rainbow families” that are not recognized in Italian law are “the reality of our ...

ROME , January 14, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Children are being used as bargaining chips in a global struggle between two radically opposed theories of human nature, a leading Catholic bioethicist said this weekend in the Vatican’s newspaper L’Osservatore Romano . Adriano Pessina, director of bioethics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart , wrote in response to a court ruling on Friday that concerns over harms to children raised in homosexual partnerships are based on “mere prejudice”. “Not only for biological reasons,” Pessina wrote, “the monogamous family is the ideal place where you must learn the meaning of human relationships.” The social crisis building over the broad acceptance of homosexuality is related to the fact that “people with a homosexual orientation want to build a pair bond more and more similar to the family, claiming a right to adopt children.” But there is no such right, “even for heterosexual couples,” he said. “Children are not objects or in...
