Pope: Abortion and gay marriage dangerous

THE Pope has labelled abortion and gay marriage two of the most “insidious and dangerous” threats facing the world today.

He made the comments to Catholic educators, social workers and others after celebrating Mass before an estimated 400,000 people in Fatima, Portugal, one of the most important shrines in Christianity.

His visit to Fatima was the spiritual centrepiece of his four-day visit to Portugal.
