- |No, as a matter of fact, she's not. The Vatican recommends that
- |practicing homosexuals be discriminated against in a number of

-
- The recent Vatican letter about civil laws and homosexuality states
- (paraphrased) that the civil government is not allowed to put in place
- laws that make homosexual acts a protected right.
-
- homosexual acts are not to be protected as a RIGHT of the person
- adulterous acts are not to be protected as a RIGHT of the person
-
- These two statements are both teachings of the Church.
