There is no good reason for this and this will cause a large amount of issues, let alone the pain it causes to the families affected by it.
This doesn’t seem purely populism for the anti-lgbtqia+ crowd, it seems too nuanced for that. I’m guessing it’s waiting until a high-placed official of the catholic church voices his support for Meloni during her next campaign.
EDIT: It already happend, she was endorsed by a Cardinal and several other members of the Italian church.
I still cannot understand why after all the child abuse revelations, why any endorsement by a church official is not met with an immediate "hell,no!".
Because people will defend the church at all costs, or else they risk questioning their own legitimacy.
The Italian church didn't fuck up as much as the Czech one, it seems.
