"The Pope's ambassador to one of Europe's leading Catholic countries has hinted that the church should 'acknowledge' gay partnerships - a significant crack in the Vatican's resolute opposition to 'evil and deviant' gay relationships. Monsignor Manuel Monteiro de Castro told a conference of Spanish bishops... although the law in Spain, and many other countries, defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman, 'there are other forms of cohabitation and it is good that they be recognised.' ... Although he insisted that same-sex unions could not be regarded as marriages, the envoy implied that they were at least worthy of compassion."
