Pope Francis is in Rome this week at a “traditional marriage” conference. In attendance are some of America’s most active anti-gay activists.

Today kicks off the Vatican’sÂ Humanum conference, a meeting of mostly-Catholics from around the world. The official title is, “An International Interreligious Colloquium on The Complementarity of Man and Woman,” which should explain why some of America’s most anti-gay activists are thrilled to be in attendance.

From news reports and social media,Â The New Civil Rights Movement is able to find at least these 14 anti-gay religious crusaders at the Vatican’sÂ Humanum:

Rick Warren,Â PastorÂ

Russell Moore, President of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission

Robert P. George, National Organization For Marriage Co-founderÂ

Phillip Bethancourt, Executive VP, Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission

Maggie Gallagher, National Organization For MarriageÂ Co-founderÂ

Tony Perkins, Â President of the Family Research Council

Scientific evidence shows there’s no such thing as someone being born in the wrong (gender) body. #Humanum â€” Austen Ivereigh (@austeni) November 17, 2014

The Pope’s speech, full video below, included many veiled attacks on same-sex marriage. Although he did not mention same-sex marriageÂ specifically, his remarks were enough for ChristianÂ publications to runÂ headlinesÂ like, “Pope Francis stands firm on marriage at Humanum Colloquium.”

“We know that today marriage and the family are in crisis,” the Pope told his very-willing audience. “This revolution in manners and morals has often flown the flag of freedom, but in fact it has brought spiritual and material devastation to countless human beings, especially the poorest and most vulnerable.”

“We now live in a culture of the temporary, in which more and more people are simply giving up on marriage as a public commitment.”

“Do not fall into the trap of being swayed by political notion. Family is an anthropological fact â€“ a socially and culturally related fact.”

Fortunately, LGBT pundits and activists shared their thoughts via Twitter:

This is apparently the year of religious faiths holding conferences to talk about rather than with us #Humanum #ERLC2014 #lgbt â€” Jeremy Hooper (@goodasyou) November 17, 2014

Dear #Humanum, gay people exist, and we are complementary with the same gender. Just ask us! We’ll tell you all about it. â€” Zack Ford (@ZackFord) November 17, 2014
