Chile Gay Press Beats Catholic Church
http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/12/123104chile.htm

The ultra conservative Opus Dei movement in the Catholic Church has lost a lengthy battle with a gay Chilean newspaper.

The Chilean branch of Opus Dei had sued the paper, called Opus Gay, claiming that the publication had infringed on it name in a deliberate attempt to embarrass the organization and the Church.

The secretive Opus Dei has strong allies at the Vatican and has been one of the leading opponents of gay rights around the world. Members of the society have been some of Rome's leading spokespeople in the battle against same-sex marriage.

hehe

that's funny

So the Roman Catholic Church believes, legally, that it, and it alone, has a *lock* on Latin? too funny . . . damn, I'd love to have been at that hearing!
