Please correct your initial post concerning Monsignore Monteiro.

The original Spanis Press report (http://es.news.yahoo.com/040503/4/3e3fb.html):

“…monseñor Monteiro manifestó a un grupo de periodistas que “las uniones homosexuales son totalmente contrarias a la doctrina de la Iglesia. Tal postura (la legalización de estas uniones) está claramente en contra de la línea de la Iglesia”.

Rough (sorry, I’m Portuguese) translation:

“…Monsignor Monteiro stated to a group of journalists that ‘homosexual unions totally contradict the church doctrine’. That position (the legalisation of said unions) is clearly against the Church line.”

For what it’s worth.
