==Question: Was Catholic support for a Rome Italy temple due to Mormon efforts to pass California Proposition 8?==
===This claim is false===

An e-mail circulating has claimed that Catholic support for a Rome Italy temple is very high because of LDS efforts around California Prop 8.

The claim as circulated is false.  Church counsel in Europe stated:

<blockquote>
Please keep in mind that our efforts to obtain the necessary building permissions within the Rome City Administration have not come to full fruition and remain at a delicate stage. Consequently, we need to be cautious and judicious when we discuss what is happening there and should take care not to spread incorrect information.<ref> To: All personnel from Seminary and Institute Administrators' Council, "Circulation of Inaccurate Information on Rome Italy Temple," (7 December 2008)).  {{pdflink|url=http://pool.fairmormon.org/File:Rome_Italy_Temple_CES.pdf}}</ref>
