Mankind at risk over gay marriage: Pope
Pope Benedict XVI on Friday weighed in on a heated debate over gay marriage, criticising new concepts of the traditional family and warning that “in the fight for the family, mankind itself is at stake.”

Benedict spoke of the “falseness” of gender theories during an end of year speech and cited at length France’s chief Rabbi Gilles Bernheim, who has spoken out against gay marriage.
