The Vatican has made an 'unprecedented' formal diplomatic objection to a draft Italian law against homophobia, a news report said Tuesday.

Pope Francis waves as he addresses the crowd from the window of the apostolic palace overlooking St.Peter’s square during his Sunday Angelus prayer at the Vatican on June 20, 2021.

According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, the Vatican argued in a formal note that the bill violates the Concordat, the bilateral treaty between Italy and the Holy See. Pope Francis’ de facto foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, delivered a letter, or “note verbale”, to the Italian embassy to the Holy See on June 17, the paper said.

The letter also expressed concern that Catholics could in the future face legal action for expressing opinions against LGBTI rights, Corriere said.
