Italy earthquakes 'divine punishment' for gay unions: Priest
Italian priest, Father Giovanni Cavalcoli, has claimed that the recent earthquakes in Italy were "divine punishment" for gay civilian unions. The Vatican has issued a statement condemning Father Cavalcoli's idea of a vengeful God as "a pagan vision" dating from "the pre-Christian era". Over 290 people were killed and thousands were left homeless in a series of earthquakes since August.
