VATICAN CITY (AFP) - Pope Benedict XVI will present the summary of the Catholic Church's catechism, which sums up the religion's doctrine and lists activities prohibited for observant Catholics, Vatican officials said.
Homosexuality, sex outside marriage, masturbation, fornication, adultery, paedophilia and prostitution remain forbidden to the faithful, according to the catechism drawn up by the pope's predecessor John Paul II.
Pope Benedict is hoping that each of the several hundred thousand young people expected to attend the Church's World Youth Day to be held in Germany in August can be given a copy of the catechism's summary.
