Pope Francis says same-sex couples should be covered by civil union laws

He made his comments in a new documentary"Francesco" by Oscar-nominated director Evgeny Afineevsky that was released on Wednesday.

"What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that," he said. The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are not sinful but homosexual acts are. It teaches that homosexuals should be treated with dignity but is opposed to gay marriage. "Pope Francis' clear and public support for same-sex civil unions marks a new stage in the church's relationship with LGBTQ people," said Father James Martin, a Jesuit priest and author of"Building a Bridge," a book about Catholic ministry to homosexuals.

😅😅😅😅

The pope must get his head checked. Homosexuality is condemned in the bible, and family is a privilege, not a 'right'. Oh, I forgot... Only the catholic church has the right to EXCOMMUNICATE....🤦‍♂️Bloody hypocrites...

🤔

Homosexual people ≠ same sex couples

Your god says a lot of other shit too.

Which bible is the pope read?

Those remarks from the Pope are against the Bible
