Around 1,000 people took part in a Gay Pride march to St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican today. The group carried a large rainbow cross. Among them were transvestites and men holding hands, as well as people in homosexual marriages and holding rainbow clothes. Before the march, Bishop Francesco Savino, vice president of the Italian Bishops Conference, celebrated a Eucharist. According to the homosexual activist James Martin, a Jesuit, Bishop Savino mentioned that he had spoken with Leo XIV about the Eucharist. The Pope had encouraged him to celebrate it with the group: "Go, celebrate the Mass with them!" During the homily, Bishop Savino said that in a Jubilee Year, land was returned to those from whom it had been taken. "Brothers and sisters, I say this with emotion. It is time to restore dignity to everyone, especially those who have been denied it." God has condemned homosexuality since the beginning of time. #newsIszydypaxr
