Vatican in ‘unprecedented’ challenge to Italy anti-homophobia law
The Vatican has lodged a diplomatic protest against a draft Italian law against homophobia. The so-called Zan law seeks to punish acts of discrimination and incitement to violence against gay, lesbian, transgender and disabled people. The Vatican argued in a letter that the bill violates the Concordat, the bilateral treaty between Rome and the Holy See, by curtailing Catholic freedom of belief and expression.
