“What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that,” he said. Papal biographer Austen Ivereigh told Reuters that the pope’s comments in the film were some of the clearest language the pontiff has used on the subject since his election in 2013. Ed Mechmann, director of public policy of the Archdiocese of New York, said in a commentary on its website that the pope was mistaken, adding “supporting the legal recognition of any kind of same-sex union is contrary to Church teaching.”A spokesman for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who is a devout Catholic, described the pope’s remarks as “a very positive move.”
Rubera says in the film that he went to a morning Mass the pope said in his Vatican residence and gave him a letter explaining his situation.
Poor pope. Now he has to say something about same sex stuff. That's different from dealing with priests that just rape little boys and girls...
No! They should be covered by marriage laws. The Catholic Church doesn’t own the institution of marriage.
É questão de Estado, não é assunto da Igreja. Será que o Estado também pode se imiscuir nas questões da Igreja?
next time, this dude would say, jesus is gay .
As a born & bred Catholic, I find his words so refreshing. It’s a big step forward on the path to equality within the Church. A path no previous Pope had the guts to take. Now, let’s have female priests and allow them all to marry! 🙏🏻Pontifex PopeFrancis CatholicTwitter
I would say it's not for a religious leader to determine what should or shouldn't be done by Republican governments.
Civil = state ≠ religion. Do as I say, not as I do.
He is speaking for himself alone.
will the story repeat at the time of Prophet Lut? and God's Threat?
Accidentally stumbled outside the church parameters

The society of 'Lot (Luth)' in bible was destroyed because of their act of homosexuality and sexual misconduct. How they will explain this now
Don't be a jerk !! Pope in Catholic Church will never grant blessing in holy matrimony sacrament to Lgbt couple. If you want to do whatever you like choose other churches especially the protestants' Leave Catholic church alone. Catholic is good. CatholicChurch Catholics
Fuck the Pope francis. Benedict XVI were always against this horrible human being annihilation. God send the plagues and a strong punishment against unnatural evil homosexuals. Please God listen to us and liberate the human being now. Send the punishers not snake sinners
Wow, this is good news, Gay/Les is nature, not their choice, so just respect them.
I agree with the Pope ! ! !
No...they should be covered under marriage laws.
If they be same sex, what makes them a couple? 2 positives or 2 negatives magnets do not attract Trying to undo nature is as equal as given right to Cancer to live within you, after all it is a living cell.
Same-sex couples can do whatever they want, but cannot be acepted as a religious leader support that practice...

Im Christian. I have no problem with Civil Unions or State Marriage Certification. Just dont force a anyone to participate in a ceremony against their will
Separation of church and state. Religion says its bad, whatever. No marriage by the church for things they don't support. No one sensible cares about the church, and in some religions marriage is a miserable deal Civil union is about commitment, state and taxes, not church.
Yep
🤦🏻♂️....👎👎👎👎🤮❌❌🚫👨❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👩 The Pope Destroy Humanity The Animals....🏳️🌈
So maybe Charlie_Hebdo_ can reproduce the same picture with MaHomet with the same position for the pope now? Egality for all religion humour gay wedding Libertedexpression imagine le pape à quatre pattes. Il etait temps d'accepter en 2020 ! EmmanuelChaunu
Blasphemy. Marriage is between a man and a woman .
God created marriage between male and female to reconstruct the land and create children to sustain life. How will a child of the same sex be created You can give them rights, but this is not a marriage
Red Herring. It’s not forcing catholic marriage, its about Spousal Benefits.
.......actually it is like, 'Our Church doesn't recognize civil marriages after all, so let those ones marry that way too. Church won't recognize that marriage too'. Catholic Church doesn't recognize civil marriages. Those couples are not allowed Sacraments. Nothing new.
What a surprise
A big hug, Papa Bergoglio.
We know that for a while right? Nevertheless, better later than never
Contact with fecal matter is the leading cause of disease spread. What happens behind closed doors impacts public health
He’s apostate! 2 Thes. 2:3 (CSB) “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”
How about just make same sex marriage legalized? That would solve a lot of things.
Finally good changes in the church
Ta da, after 2 thousand years.......
I am Catholic and I agree with the Pope on this one. My good friend and his partner are good people, they deserve to be miserable like the rest of us. Plus they deserve their partners benefits.
I always thought, why not simplify it? If some religious proponents are against it, why not just call it something else but provide the same rights?
He's no longer allower to interfere in civil law. U.S First amandment, separation of church and state.
Pat Robertson? Franky Graham?.
R, Now we know where it's all heading a puddle to the metal
A Woman Rides the Beast - official version from The Berean Call via YouTube
The Roman Catholic Church doesn't even recognize the validity of heterosexual civil marriages, so he's asking governments to institute marriages that his own church won't recognize? Disingenuous! Let him talk after he officiates at his first same-sex wedding.
Blasphemy by Pope.
I support gay marriage, but technically this makes him the Antichrist right?
