The Pope has invited the head of listed anti-gay hate group the Family Research Council to his summit on ‘traditional marriage’.
Pope Francis will open the ‘Complementary of Man and Woman’
conference on November 17, which brings together religious leaders from
across different faiths who oppose same-sex marriage.
As well as representatives from the Catholic Church and other forms
of Christianity, speakers from 23 countries will purportedly represent
the views of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism and
Sikhism.
However, Right Wing Watch uncovered evidence that anti-gay activist
Tony Perkins – whose group is listed as an active homophobic hate group
by the Southern Poverty Law Center – has been invited to the Pontiff’s
gathering.
Representatives from the US Southern Baptist Convention and from the
Mormon church – both of which fiercely oppose same-sex marriage – are
also slated to attend, as part of a united front against marriage
equality.
