This is, in my opinion, gross exploitation of the power of the church and belittles the religion.

I don't agree with this assessment. The Vatican is simply following scripture and/or its established doctrines. The Justice Minister is "ignoring his own personal religious beliefs." There are fairly clear mandates that one can not serve two masters--if the Justice Minister wants to act contrary to the beliefs of his denomination, he should discard the mantle of a Roman Catholic--or, at least, one that considers the Vatican to be his earthly head.
