Catholic group gives $1 million to ban gay marriage in California

A Roman Catholic men's group has donated 1 million dollars to support a November ballot measure that would constitutionally ban same-sex marriage in California.

That makes the Knights of Columbus the biggest financial backer of proposition eight, which would negate the California Supreme Court decision requiring recognition of same-sex marriages.

The money comes on top of $250,000 the Catholic fraternal organization gave in January to help qualify the measure for the November election.

Robert Villalobos, who heads the California chapter, says the Knights of Columbus believes God created men and women to unite in marriage "for the procreation of children."
