After same-sex marriage Senate approval

Néstor Kirchner asks Catholic Church to 'become more modern'

Former president Néstor Kirchner considered that "Argentina took a transcendental step forward" by passing the same-sex marriage law and asked the Catholic Church to "become more modern."

"I speak from my religious formation, Catholic, but we aspire with all our strength for the Church to become more modern," Kirchner assured during a rally in the Buenos Aires province locality of Ezeiza.

For the UNASUR Secretary General, with "same-sex marriage" the country "is growing democratically."
