Bishop calls New Zealand partner bill part of moral decay

A hotly debated bill that would bolster the rights of same-sex couples is part of the erosion of values turning New Zealand into a "moral wasteland," the country's top Catholic official says. Catholic Archbishop Cardinal Thomas Williams likened reforming politicians to "modern barbarians" who aim to "tear down existing standards, and to debase ideals that have come to characterise a society built on sound moral principle." Prime Minister Helen Clark called the cardinal's views "sad."
