Cardinal says gay parents a 'paradox'

(ANSA) - Rome, May 29 - Italian bishops' chief Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco said Friday that having parents of the same sex was "a true paradox with incalculable psychological and relational consequences". Bagnasco cited the proposal to remove Mother's and Father's day from nursery school calendars in deference to same-sex couples, egg donors and surrogates as "a concern that comes from systematic dissemination" of the "ideology of gender".
    Bagnasco was speaking at a Rome conference entitled "Science & Life".
