LONDON, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Prime Minister David Cameron's plan to legalize gay marriagewill weaken marriage as an institution, the head of the Catholic Church in England said Friday.
The Most Rev. Vincent Nichols, who as archbishop of Westminster is the senior cleric in England and Wales, said at a news conference that Cameron wants to "annex the institution of marriage" for homosexuals, The Daily Telegraph reported. Nichols said he respects Cameron's desire to encourage equality and committed gay relationships.
