Vatican condemns radio station over anti-gay comments on quake

4 November 2016 Europe

The Vatican has condemned a right-wing Catholic radio station after a broadcast said the recent earthquakes in Italy were "God's punishment" for gay civil unions.

The remarks, made on the station Radio Maria, were "offensive and scandalous", the Vatican said.

A Dominican friar said the quakes, including one in August that killed nearly 300, were caused by sins of man.

He said these included the approval of same-sex civil unions last May.

But the Vatican rejected the remarks as pagan, and said they had nothing to do with Catholic theology.

1. Tongue firmly in cheek... maybe they're not that far off:

I know a couple Italian men who could make the whole building shake when they make love.
Maybe that's a source of confusion for some of the soothsayers?
