Mexican Cardinal Calls Gay Marriage 'Evil', 'Inherently Immoral'

Cardinal Norberto Rivera slammed the Mexican Supreme Court's 8-2 ruling that Mexico City's marriage equality law is constitutional, the AP reports:

"The Roman Catholic archbishop said it was wrong to go against Christian doctrine that recognizes only marriages between a man and a woman. 'The church cannot fail to call evil evil,' Rivera said in a statement...The Federal District is the only part of Mexico that allows gay marriages. The city government said last week that since 320 same-sex couples had married since March, 173 of them male and 147 female. Rivera said homosexuals have suffered abuses from the broader society, but argued that allowing same-sex marriages is not the way to try to atone for such injustices. He called same-sex unions 'inherently immoral,' saying they 'distort the nature of marriage raised by Christ to the dignity of a sacrament.'"
