A priest in Italy on Sunday blessed the marriage of a 64-year-old transsexual to her 58-year-old male partner, in defiance of Vatican guidelines, the ANSA news agency reported.
Sandra Alvino -- who underwent a sex change more than 30 years ago -- and Fortunato Talotta had been in a civil partnership for 25 years before tying the knot in a religious ceremony in Piagge, an industrial suburb of Florence.
Quote from: Cardinal Renato MartinoI do not understand how something like that can be done. It's against nature and it does not bring anything to the church
Against nature? Since when does a Catholic moron have anything to do with nature. And the only thing it dose bring to the church is money. After all that is all they want anyway, that and to rule the world.
Sorry if I offended anyone, but I tire of their religious BS.

Their marriage brings a loving witness to God, as well as to their Catholic faith (despite its errors.)
But as a followup, the priest who married the couple has been removed from his duties.
