RE: his obvious condemnation of gay lifestyles, etc when he spoke about the importance of the family unit and the attacks on it?
Here is the part of Pope Francis’ speech that one could say, vaguely refer to same-sex marriage :
_____________________________
Yet I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.

Where’s the condemnation?
The above statement is so general that Gay Couples can always take this as being allowed to marry and adopt children and hence, contributing to the “richness and the beauty of family life.”
Or that Francis is so afraid to be specific that he is being a wimp here.
