People lighting candles \u003cbr/\u003ePope Benedict XVI began his first trip to Latin America on Wednesday determined to lay down church law on abortion, suggesting in-flight that he agreed with bishops who said Catholic politicians in Mexico had excommunicated themselves by legalising abortion in that nation's capital. \u003cbr/\u003eBenedict was greeted by a large Catholic delegation as well as Brazil's President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who welcomed the pontiff.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking in Portuguese, Benedict said in his speech that \"Brazil holds a special place in the Pope's heart\".\u003cbr/\u003e\"I came to preside over the opening of the fifth conference of  bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean in Aparecida.  By a clear demonstration of goodness from the creator this country will be the birth of ecclesiastical proposals.  God willing this will give a new boost to the missionary work in this continent,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eBut before landing the Pope caused a stir with his comments on abortion in his first full news conference in two years.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict stood before 70 journalists on his Alitalia jetliner headed to Brazil, on the first long trip of his papacy. \u003cbr/\u003eWhen an Italian reporter pressed him on whether he agreed that Catholic legislators who voted to legalise abortion in Mexico City should rightfully be considered excommunicated, he caused a furore that led his spokesman to try to downplay his response.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This excommunication was not arbitrary. There are provisions set in place by Canon law. The killing of an innocent life is simply not compatible with the communion taken in Christ's name,\" Benedict said. \u003cbr/\u003e\"This is (referring to excommunication) nothing new, surprising or arbitrary. They simply gave light to laws stated in the church's doctrine and reminded us of our appreciation of life,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eThe response seemed to take one side of an active church debate on canon law, and media dispatches filed from the plane caused an uproar of sorts, with some scholars challenging the pope's apparent position. \u003cbr/\u003eVatican officials later said the pope might have inferred from the question that Mexican bishops had issued a formal declaration of excommunication for the legislators, something Mexican Cardinal Norberto Rivera has said he has no intention of doing.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict's spokesman said the pope was not setting a new policy and did not intend to formally excommunicate anyone, a rare process under church law that is separate from the doctrine of self-excommunication.\u003cbr/\u003eThe spokesman added, however, that politicians who voted in favour of abortion should not receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. \u003cbr/\u003eThe pope's visit has been a much anticipated one by many in Brazil and thousands of faithful Catholics showed this by waiting in the cold rain for a glimpse of Benedict, then chanted \"Bento, Bento\" and waved flags of different South American nations as he blessed them at the monastery where he is staying .\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Pope is very moved by this warm welcome,\" Benedict said from the balcony  of the monastery. \u003cbr/\u003eMaria Elena Franccini, who witnessed Benedict's brief statements, said she was \"very excited\" to see him. \u003cbr/\u003eHowever not everyone was so welcoming of the Benedict's visit, as many including the gay community, question the direction the Catholic church is taking.\u003cbr/\u003eDozens of gay activists gathered in Sao Paulo's Plaza de La Republica to protest against the Catholic church's stance on birth control and homosexuality \u003cbr/\u003eProtesters held a vigil with rainbow-coloured candles and signs stating \"Jesus Loves Gay People.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThey also called upon the church to reform it's stance on birth control, specifically condoms. \u003cbr/\u003e\"He keeps telling people not to wear condoms and there he is. Poor people and women are getting infected (referring to spread of HIV virus),\" activist Beto de Jesus said. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Catholic church has lost some ground among young people, who believe the religion needs reform when it comes to pre-marital sex. \u003cbr/\u003eIn fact, recent opinion polls have demonstrated that 86 percent of Brazilians are against the Vatican's opposition to the use of condoms and 47 percent believe the Catholic Church has not been following the evolution of society.\u003cbr/\u003eBrazil has also pioneered an anti-aids programme which is based mainly in sexual education and free distribution of condoms.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Thursday, Pope Benedict XVI will have the opportunity to address some of these issues when he meets a large gathering of youth at the Pacaembu stadium after meeting Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Vatican says Benedict will confront major challenges during his visit, such as the church's declining influence in Brazil, the rise of evangelism, and efforts to expand access to abortions in the region.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict, who visited Brazil as then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 1990, will celebrate several open-air Masses, including a canonisation ceremony for Brazil's first native-born saint, and visit a church-run drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
