Pope Francis endorses same-sex civil unions: They 'have the right to be in a family'

ROME – Pope Francis endorsed same-sex civil unions for the first time as pope while being interviewed for the feature-length documentary “Francesco,” which had its premiere at the Rome Film Festival on Wednesday.

The papal thumbs up came midway through the film that delves into issues he cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination. “Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God,” Francis said in one of his sit-down interviews for the film. “What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered.”

While serving as archbishop of Buenos Aires, 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. Director Evgeny Afineevsky had remarkable access to cardinals, the Vatican television archives and the pope himself. He said he negotiated his way in through persistence, and deliveries of Argentine mate tea and Alfajores cookies that he got to the pope via some well-connected Argentines in Rome.

The Pope wants unions because he doesn't have any divisions

What will the Catholic Organization use now as their founding document seeing that they contradict the Bible.

🙌❣️❣️

😭😭😂😂😂😂😂 whaaaat!!!

secupp Cool that the pope can just rewrite the Bible 👍

Never... This is a case of Media gone comical and petty as opposed to intellectual interpretation of a philosophical argument. What's the Catholic Church definition of a FAMILY? IsaiahGitonga mutuma_mathiu citizentvkenya PeopleDailyKe

You r going to hill.thats for shure.

Bravo...Bravo!

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2).

1 John 3:10 NKJV — In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

We are from Allah and for sure we will return to him

Well I wonder if Barrett’s group will say the devil is standing beside the Pope

PaHouseDems So if the justice to be… Barrett, follows Catholic teachings, then she must vote for gay marriage

SamaEmme 😂😂😂 tf is this?

Yes, they are Children of God and in Leviticus he commanded if a man lie with another man but him to death.

He has just turned away from God's Teachings and the Church. He is but to bring the word of God, not make it up as he goes.

They may be children of God, but God and the Bible states it is a sin for same sex partners to marry. It is a sacred union between man and women and for the Pope to say otherwise he is commuting a sin. Same sex can live together, but once engaged in sex, it becomes a sin.

Awesome! EqualityForAll

Can someone please tell PeopleOfPraise? And AmyConeyBarrett

I wonder why nobody is talking about how lame and stupid this video is, no pope's voice, just background music and subtitles... Show us where the pope said it with his voice

Jesus Fucking Christ

Joanieroni Hear that? Justice Alito? Justice Thomas? Justice Roberts? Justice Kavanaugh? And Amy Coathanger Barrett Listen to your Pope. Listen to the American people. Get off your sick high horses.

Why that

secupp

That's something I never really understood about religious zealots... If you believe that someone is doing something that does not harm others, and think that your god will punish them for it, then why do you care? Treat them with respect & let your god deal with it.

Amy doesn’t get to over turn the Pope!

Curse..god create man and woman to complete and to be eith each other...this pape is evil

For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.Matthew:Chapter 5:18

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18

Leviticus 20v13: encouraging a person in behavior that is & sure to be hurtful to themselves is not how the Most High intended. The behavior in itself is a cover for skewed emotions, not to mention the things- done PURPOSELY to CAUSE a person to question their sexuality. Example

The Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin. What about that, your holiness?

This Jesuit has taken the Papacy so far left, next he'll be endorsing Communism.

A child of God is one who has been born again. These people are created by God and He loves all of us, but homosexuality is a sin. Will that guy codone abortion next?

I love this POPE 💕

Bad day for whitewashed graves, hypocrites and bigots. 👋 Excellent day for civil rights. 👍

secupp I think for a whole host of reasons, society would benefit from taking 'marriage' out of the civil context altogether. Let it remain a private affair, whether religious or secular, and then afford all couples, whether straight or gay, the rights and protections of a civil union.

you are wrong you should be telling them to stop committing taboo and you are supporting them are you really a true man of God or are you the Antichrist

secupp Sickening.

secupp Francis is the coolest Pope. 😎 🙏

secupp 99% of the population doesn’t care

secupp Will the Conservatives saying that the Democrats are attacking ACB for her Catholic faith support or attack the Pope for his?

The Pope, 'who cares about that Bible thing.'

But that is not what the Holy Scriptures say, which are above the Pope. Pope should follow them. Your commitment should be to the Holy Scriptures and not to philosophical or other positions.

Only Islam is true religion.

Take that SCB

Disgusting that it took you this long. Too late, buddy.

Children of sex

I love Pope.

Jesus Christ it's about time.
