Where is that picture of Patrick Stewart doing the faceplant?

Well, this is a thread about the Church, so perhaps these would be more appropriate.

But, if you insist upon Patrick Stewart:

Catholic Culture: Cardinal Dolan: Pope wants to understand-- not endorse-- civil-union proposals

Cardinal Dolan: Pope wants to understand-- not endorse-- civil-union proposals

 

CWN - March 10, 2014

In a television interview aired March 9, New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan said that Pope Francis wants the Church to understand the campaign for legal recognition of same-sex unions.

Appearing on the NBC program “Meet the Press,” Cardinal Dolan said that in a recent Italian interview, Pope Francis was not indicating that the Church would favor civil-union proposals. “It wasn’t as if he came out and approved them,” the cardinal said. “He said, ‘Rather than quickly condemn them, let’s just ask the questions as to why that has appealed to certain people.’”

A spokesman for the Holy See, Father Thomas Rosica, agreed, saying: “The Pope did not choose to enter into debates about the delicate matter of gay civil unions.” In an interview that appeared last week in Corriere della Sera,” when he was questioned about civil unions, the Pope replied: “You have to see the variety of cases and evaluate them in their variety.”

During his “Meet the Press” appearance, Cardinal Dolan said that he “would have no sense of judgment” about Michael Sam, the aspiring professional football player who has said that he is homosexual. Cardinal Dolan observed that “the same Bible that tells us that teaches us well about the virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people.” He concluded: “So I would say, Bravo.”
