BREAKING: Pope Francis calls for the passage of civil union laws for same-sex couples in a documentary that aired in Rome on Wednesday, marking a major departure from the position held by the Vatican’s doctrinal office.

“They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.”

“What we have to create is a civil union law,” he added. “That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”, Francis endorsed civil unions for gay couples as an alternative to same-sex marriages. However, he had never come out publicly in favor of civil unions as pope. Directed by Oscar-nominated Evgeny Afineevsky, a Russia-born Jew, “Francesco” depicts Francis as the great connector, placing him at the heart of a narrative that casts a wide net over some of the world's most pressing problems.The film tackles other topical issues such as the growing rich-poor gap, racism, climate change, sexual abuse, migration, human trafficking, political polarization and relations between Christians, Muslims and Jews.

The new scotus will be voting differently

All lgbtqia people are children of God. God gave me a message that he created lgbtqia people to help us find a deeper meaning and understanding of love. He also gave me a message to spread positivity and the goodness of God. To me that’s are facts.

GOD assist us . We are gone to perish

The head of the satanic church ?

'francis' is an antipope.

He is under God's wrath. Just like the whole world.

People are so gullible falling for this charlatans bullcrap. He's running a global establishment now not a church of God. Gay people are being used, if not he'll be expected to open the church doors for gay marriages!

'That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh' Genesis 2:24

What about the Children Pope?

What about hunter Biden's laptop?do a story about that.

Sweet 💜💜 now make it so that they can marry in church

This message would be unthinkable if the church was still strong. It has to go much further to repair the damage it has done to human progress and individuals traumatised by it's dogma.

This is wrong

They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” Jude 1:18

when he adresses canon law inexistant punishments for pedophiles I will listen to him..until them our head of church is like every other world government..Corrupt

I see. In America, the right-wing would like to downgrade same-sex marriage, to civil unions. So same-sex couples can be separate BUT NOT equal. The Pope is a Charlatan, who sits in a gilded castle, holding a golden staff, surrounded by unimaginable wealth. NO THANKS POPE!

Pope Francis is trying to please homosexuals and be progressive.He is too follow the word of God and he has chosen to step away from the Bible and make up his own mind according to his personal beliefs which are his beliefs not God’s.

Pope Francis is the false prophet

Stupid

Yes. Love is love.

The question I have is why aren't you covering the Biden scandal American people have a right to know and it's your job to inform them

ulxma This is really great news and major step for human rights

Civil unions for gay couples is NOT satanic because it’s state arraigned quasi marriage, gay couples perverting the religious concept of marriage IS satanic however It’s unfortunate a Pope did the right thing and endorsed this now when gay marriage has become legalized and normal

“They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it,” Pope Francis says in “Francesco,” a documentary about his life, according to the Catholic News Agency.

He will be stepping down 🔜

Won't see any religious Muslim leader making these statements that's for sure

Just wait 24 hours - someone on his team will come out with a denial/retraction while the Pope himself will 'no comment'. We've seen this type of 'both sides' play from him before.

Making friends so that the Sunday Law will pass more smoothly I see 🤫

Pontifex needs to resign immediately, this is not the catholic church believes. If he accept that, then he is accepting the catholic church abuse of women and children by the catholic priests. Homosexuality and any other sort of abnormal sex behavior is an aberration.

rosieglow2010 ....at last 😅

Bravo

God loves everyone, straight or gay.
