Vatican Radio site posts controversial lesbian photo

July 08, 2015

The German-language site of Vatican Radio posted a photo of lesbians kissing, to accompany an article on changing attitudes toward same-sex unions.

The photo was removed from the Vatican Radio site, then posted again, then removed again as internet users called attention to it.

The article accompanying the photo remains unchanged, offering a sympathetic treatment of changing public attitudes toward homosexuality.

Vatican Radio offers different coverage of world events in different languages. The German-language coverage frequently reflects the views of the German-speaking hierarchy, which has spearheaded the campaign for changes in Church teaching on sexual morality.
