In a documentary film directed by a gay director Evgeny Afineevsky, Pope Francis show his endorsement and support for
gay couple to have civil unions and he will be the first pope in the church to
do it.
Gay Catholics praised his stand but conservatives say
the pope contradicts the long standing of the church against same sex
relationship and the pope made a serious mistake.
“Pope
Francis has said that he thinks same-sex couples should be allowed to have
"civil unions" .He made the comments, which observers say are his
clearest remarks yet on gay relationships, in a documentary directed by Evgeny
Afineevsky.” (BBC)
“Pope Francis became the first pontiff to endorse same-sex civil unions
in comments for a documentary that premiered Wednesday, sparking cheers from
gay Catholics and demands for clarification from conservatives, given the
Vatican’s official teaching on the issue.” (Associated Press)
“According to Pope Francis: “Homosexual people have the right to be in a
family. They are children of God,”; “You can’t kick someone out of a family,
nor make their life miserable for this. What we have to have is a civil union
law; that way they are legally covered.””(Izulat)
