The Pope warned of the threat posed by same-sex marriage as part of an annual message about peace.
The World Day of Peace as celebrated by the Catholic Church is on New Year's Day, and Pope Benedict XVI released his message for that day on Friday, warning that any efforts to allow gays and lesbians to wed "actually harm and help to destabilize marriage."
The Pope wrote that in order to pursue peace, "There is also a need to acknowledge and promote the natural structure of marriage as the union of a man and a woman in the face of attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different types of union; such attempts actually harm and help to destabilize marriage, obscuring its specific nature and its indispensable role in society."
