Simone Scatizzi (26 May 1931 – 27 August 2010) was the Roman Catholic bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pistoia, Italy.

Biography

Scattizzi was born in Coiano, a neighborhood in Prato, on May 26, 1931. He entered the seminary in Prato at a young age and pursued studies in theology, later attending the seminary in Pistoia.[1]

Ordained in 1954, Scatizzi was appointed bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fiesole, Italy and then in 1981, Bishop of the Pistola Diocese retiring in 2006.[2]

In 2005, Scatizzi became the focus of controversy regarding civil partnerships, ending up on the front page of La Repubblica.[3]

In February 2010, he once again made headlines due to statements he made about homosexuality, where he characterized this sexual orientation as "a disorder."[4][5] The bishop also reiterated that practicing and unrepentant homosexuals should not receive communion.[6][7] These statements led to strong protests against the Catholic Church from major Italian LGBT associations and some politicians. Arcigay, represented by its president Aurelio Mancuso [it], stated that the Catholic confession offends the dignity of homosexuals.[8]
