A concert by Elton John in Trani [Puglia] may be cancelled because the Roman Catholic Church objects to his sexuality.
The concert date has already been changed from 23rd to 22nd September and now the event it is to be relocated as well: Originally scheduled to take place in the Cathedral Square, the concert will probably, instead, take place in the square of the Colonna Monastery, a mile from the city centre.
The Monastery itself is now used as a venue for cultural events.
Monsignor Giacomo Babini, the retired Bishop of Grosseto, has said that it would be “inappropriate, blasphemous and offensive” to allow John to sing so near a church because he is “gay and depraved”.
What would you like to say to monsignor Babini on this issue?
