Benedict (Benoit) XVI and Sarkozy

Not really...in fact, the Pope just proves that Sarkozy is just amateur when trying to be an early 19th century reactionary. Benedict just takes it away...

Benedict's envoy to the United Nations, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, has
announced that the Vatican will oppose a proposed U.N. declaration calling for
an end to discrimination against homosexuals. At first blush, no one should be
surprised to find the Catholic Church hierarchy butting heads with gay rights
activists. But this particular French-sponsored proposal, which has the backing
of all 27 European Union countries, calls for an end to the practice of
criminalizing and punishing people for their sexual orientation.
