Pope Francis enters debate over Italy's same-sex unions Bill
From the article:
"By and large, Pope Francis has steered well clear of Italian politics during his almost three years in office. On one recent occasion when he entered the fray, however, his words appeared to have had a dramatic impact. That incident came when, at the end of his papal visit to the United States in September, he insisted categorically, almost angrily, that he had not invited the [pro-gay] then mayor of Rome, Ignazio Marino, to Philadelphia for World Family Day.On the rally against gay civil unions:Within a month of that emphatic, public papal put-down, Mr Marino was out of office with many commentators arguing that Francis's words had been the final nail in the mayor's coffin. Significantly, Mr Marino had hardly endeared himself to the pope by instituting Rome city council-registered gay marriages (subsequently annulled by the city prefect)."

Thousands Rally Against Gay Unions in RomeQuote from this article:
"A week ago Pope Francis issued a strong reminder of the church's opposition to gay marriage, saying that the traditional family was 'the family God wants.' Being a cardinal in Buenos Aires, Jorge Bergoglio staunchly opposed the marriage equality, calling it the 'work of the devil'."Here's the report from veteran journalist Edward Pentin, whom so many of us value for his excellent pro-life and pro-family reporting:
'We Are a Million' Marchers for Marriage in RomeFrom the article:
"Many praised Pope Francis' lead in promoting marriage and the family. Most recently, the Holy Father insisted that the 'complementarity of man and woman' is essential to marriage and that gender ideology is 'demonic.' He has compared it to the educational policies of Hitler and said it fails to recognized 'the order of creation.'"
It's always good to look closer into what the Pope actually said.
Like the tagline quote below.
Where was the Bishop of Rome yesterday, during Family Day in Rome? Did Francis address the crowds either in person, or by television or radio? It's his own backyard; yet, he can fly to D.C. and New York to promote such "Catholic" issues like "global warming" and socialism.
