Pope Benedict XVI said Thursday there was an "urgent" need to avoid confusion over gay unions and other common-law partnerships, and stressed that only marriage between men and women could be the basis for a healthy society.
"There is a special urgency today to avoid confusion with other types of unions based on a weak love," he said. "Only the rock of total and irrevocable love between a man and woman is able to build a society that is home to all men."
He did not specify gay unions in his remarks, but Benedict has frequently spoken out about the need to preserve the sanctity of marriage and has condemned same-sex unions as anarchic "pseudo-matrimony."
