    Vatican disappointed by Irish gay marriage vote
  • Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, has called the referendum in Ireland which legalized gay marriage, as a "defeat for humanity".

    The Roman Catholic Church condemns same-sex marriage and regards homosexual relations as a sin.

    But, Pope Francis was perceived to be more open minded when he said that if a gay has goodwill, then he is nobody to judge him.

    In 1988, Norris argued in the European Court of Human Rights that Irish Laws were incompatible with the European Convention of Human Rights.

    The court said that criminalisation of male homosexuality violated Article 8 of the Convention.

    In 1993, the Republic of Ireland decriminalised homosexuality.
