Even Pope Francis’ stance on civil unions may not be enough to convince Filipino lawmakers to pass a bill to make same-sex marriage legal.

“I doubt it” was Senate President Tito Sotto’s response when asked if the head of the Catholic Church's endorsement of same-sex civil unions will have an effect on legislation in the Philippines -- a predominantly Catholic country.

“Same-sex union is already being practiced here and there is nothing we can do about it. Same-sex marriage is the one which is not acceptable to many religions and other sectors,” the legislator said. “The public support of Pope Francis for the enactment of civil union laws could be exactly the impetus needed so that opposition to the civil partnership bill will melt away,” Bagong Henerasyon Party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy said in a statement.

“Our LGBT brothers and sisters deserve to have protections, under the law, for their respective union with the person they choose to be their life partner,” Alvarez added.

Pope Francis: Same-sex couples should be covered by civil union lawsA right to be in the family I strongly agree but to have a family by way of civil union, nope. We can protect the rights of homosexual in any other laws. Besides it runs contrary to what his predecessors believe ( as attached). Hypocrite Christians sugod na! The pope has all authority to do so - to interpret the Bible however he wants and according to his conscience - Jesus gave him the right to do so back in AD 30.
