Mexico City — Cardinal Norberto Rivera sharply criticized Mexico’s Supreme Court on Sunday for upholding a law allowing homosexuals to marry in the capital, calling the ruling “aberrant” and “immoral.”

The Roman Catholic archbishop said it was wrong to go against Christian doctrine that recognizes only marriages between a man and a woman.

“The church cannot fail to call evil evil,” Rivera said in a statement.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court on an 8-2 vote upheld the constitutionality of gay marriages in Mexico City under a law passed by the state legislature. The federal government had sought to nullify the law.

2. A bit of Mexican history is in order ...

Although a "Catholic country" in the sense that most folks are at least nominally Catholic, Mexico has a good history of not putting up with shit from the church. Including taking back plundered property.
