...vital strategic importance to contending armies during the two World Wars - the Danube is now a more lighthearted place. On any given Sunday, whole stretches of it are abuzz with dog walkers and horse riders as well as runners. Avoid the sections of the river that run parallel to the noisy, traffic-clogged autobahn, and stick instead to havens like the flat, unpaved trail that skirts the northern edge of Dillingen, a factory town of roughly 18,000 in Germany's Loh and Behold Avant-garde murals and imaginative furnishings characterise a new Singapore hotel Identity Parade An iconic style...

His views on the question need not be an issue for non-Catholics, however, because whether or not the Catholic Church chooses to recognize same-sex marriage is an issue for the church alone.
