Controversial Nativity Scene in Italy Sparks Accusations of Blasphemy

Father Vitaliano Della Sala defends scene, stating it represents the diversity of modern families.

A nativity scene in Italy featuring two mothers of the Baby Jesus has sparked controversy and accusations of blasphemy.
The scene was defended by Father Vitaliano Della Sala, who stated that he wanted to represent the diversity of modern families.
An online petition calling for the Bishop of Avellino to intervene has garnered over 21,000 signatures.
Senator Maurizio Gasparri of the Forza Italia party criticized the scene, stating it 'offends all those who always had respect and devotion for the Holy Family'.
Father Della Sala's stance aligns with Pope Francis, who recently allowed priests to bless same-sex couples.
