Your equality laws are unjust, pope tells UK before visit

Pope Benedict XVI marked the announcement of his first papal
visit to Britain with an unprecedented attack on the government's
equality legislation yesterday, claiming it threatened religious
freedom and ran contrary to "natural law".
Speaking at the Vatican to visiting Catholic bishops of England
and Wales, he described changes to the law as unjust and urged
them to invoke "missionary zeal" to resist them.
The comments came during a five-yearly trip to the Vatican
by the bishops, during which they made presentations on their
concerns about the place of religion in an increasingly secular
society.
The pope's broadside appeared to be aimed squarely at recent
legislation that prevents Catholic adoption agencies from discriminating
against gay couples, and the proposed equality bill, which would
make it harder for churches to exclude job applications from
homosexuals or people who have changed their gender.
