Question: Was Catholic support for a Rome Italy temple due to Mormon efforts to pass California Proposition 8?
This claim is false
An e-mail circulating has claimed that Catholic support for a Rome Italy temple is very high because of LDS efforts around California Prop 8.
The claim as circulated is false. Church counsel in Europe stated:
Please keep in mind that our efforts to obtain the necessary building permissions within the Rome City Administration have not come to full fruition and remain at a delicate stage. Consequently, we need to be cautious and judicious when we discuss what is happening there and should take care not to spread incorrect information.[1]
