Religious groups set to fight Canadian gay marriage bill
The Roman Catholic Church has opened a major campaign to defeat a Canadian bill that would legalize same-sex marriage across the country. The bill, set to be heard early in February when Parliament reconvenes, is largely symbolic because provincial and territorial courts already expanded marriage rights in jurisdictions where 85 percent of Canadians live. It'll be the first time an elected body will vote on the issue though and Catholics, allied with Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Orthodox Jewish groups, are revved up for what the government calls a challenge to the separation of church and state.
