Pope attacks equality laws in UK
Updated on 01 February 2010
The Pope sparked a fresh row over the Government's flagship equality legislation after saying it could impose "unjust limitations" on religious freedom and "violate natural law".
In remarks interpreted as an attack on proposals to give gay people greater rights, Benedict said equality legislation could end up restricting worshippers from acting "in accordance with their beliefs".
His remarks came as he confirmed that he would make his first apostolic visit to Britain later this year.
