Pope representatives calls for Catholic alliance with Muslim and Jewish groups to block passage of Gay Marriage in Britain

We need the same kind of alliance in the United States. The problem with our religious leaders here is their punks or Liberals.

UK Telegraph reports Archbishop Antonio Mennini, the Apostolic Nuncio, called for closer co-operation with other faiths as well as Christian denominations to put pressure on the Government over its plans to allow same-sex couples to marry.

In an address to Catholic bishops from England and Wales, he echoed the recent comments of Pope Benedict who said the Church faced �powerful political and cultural currents� in favour of redefining marriage.

His comments come after a series of high-level interventions by some Muslim and Jewish leaders last month after the Equalities Minister, Lynne Featherstone, launched a national consultation on how same-sex marriage might be introduced.
