The Vatican released a document on Tuesday, which condemned gay marriage, abortion, gay couples seeking children and other practices that go against the Church's concept of family, terming them symptoms of "the eclipse of God".
The document reaffirmed the Church's conservative position on sexuality, marriage and life. It also said the concept of family is currently more exposed to danger than it has ever been in the past.
The 60-page document said, "The causes are diverse but the 'eclipse' of God, creator of man, is at the root of the profound current crisis concerning the truth about man, about human procreation and the family."
