'Unfounded' to put on same footing as marriage

(ANSA) - Rome, March 14 - Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), on Monday slammed a bill on civil unions as raising them close to the same footing as traditional marriage in an "unfounded" way. The family is "truly the greatest capital of work and solidarity, a treasure not to be weakened or dispersed with unfounded equivalence, treating different realities in the same way," he said in the introduction to a meeting of the CEI's permanent council.
    Bagnasco also criticised the planned introduction of a bill on stepchild adoption, including by same-sex couples, saying "all children are entitled to a father and a mother". The CEI chief also chided the Italian political world for being too "quarrelsome".
