Any time any institution is FORCED to accept homosexuality it turns out bad.
20 years ago they forced the Boy Scouts to accept gays.
Now look where they are- facing bankruptcy and numerous lawsuits for child molestation.
And the boy scouts organization did not molest anyone, the gays they were forced to accept into the organization did.
Keep close to the follow-up on this. (per EWTN radio this morning)
Seems the Pope DID NOT endorse civil unions.
A Spanish translation shows he was calling for familys to not shun or expel gay children from their household. That they have a right to remain a part of the family.
Known homosexual clergy were all too eager to mischaracterize the Popes statements to their advantage.
He said "Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. They're children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it," the Pope said in the film, the Catholic News Agency reported.
"What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered," the Pope said.

We need another Polish Pope.
- Francis needs to watch his mouth, or better yet, resign.

He is
Now, I fully agree with you that he's a dumbass who should leave, but on this matter, he did not say what people are accusing him of saying, leave alone what you, redgolum said that the Church itself made a statement
I agree with you that people "assume it" but that doesn't make it an actual statement
You and the other people in the district need to go and tell the Bishop THAT -- even more so, it wasn't even a press release!
Forget trying to separate the church from the state. What we have here is a Catholic pope making a public call for the universal legal protection of sodomy, one of the four sins that cry out to Heaven, and sodomites. Whether it's an ex cathedra statement or not, it's a scandal and a heresy.
There is little difference between this than Bergoglio calling for the legal protection of abortion, another sin that cries out to Heaven, and abortion.
He is condoning the legal rights of adult, practicing homosexuals raising children; i.e. child abuse.
And it's getting tiresome hearing it's just the man's personal opinion. When he, in the office of the Pope, states in a public documentary that is to be distributed worldwide, his call for the the legalization of sodomite unions, it is no longer a personal "private" opinion.
P.S. It was his "private opinion" that the death penalty is now suddenly a grievous sin, yet he's enshrining that opinion in the Catholic Catechism.
What we have is an apostate dictator pope.
You are working very hard to convince yourself.
Twice dead. Blind leading blind.
Anti pope.
not really.
As I said, this is an off-the-cuff remark by Pope Francis about government civil unions. This is something he should have NOT done, yet this is not about marriage in any way.
This is clearly not “The RCC has spoken” or “Rome has spoken” - nothing of that sort has happened.
This mornings screaming headlines come from a statement made by Pope Francis in the course of a long interview where the Pope discussed, as one reporter noted, the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination. Within that interview, he made this statement:
Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God. What we have to have is a ccivil cohabitating ("convivencia civil") laws; that way they are legally covered.
This has nothing to do with marriage
Pope Francis like Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II has condemned same-sex marriage during his tenure, and he has not retreated from that position.
On a number of occasions, Francis has warned against threats to the institution of marriage and described marriage as between a man and a woman. Accepting gay family members or accommodating same-sex partnerships in civil law, he said, does not mean approving of homosexual acts.
you are right that even condoning the legal rights is bad - yet, look at this -- the leftists are arguing that the reason for gay marriage is due to "legal benefits" that marriage undoubtedly gives
By saying "the government does civil unions and Marriage is the sole prerogative of the church - and that is between man and woman alone" , that eliminates the leftist argument
There is a big difference - legal abortion is abhorrent even in non-religious terms as it is the killing of innocents.
Nothing changes in the Catholic Church. I pray for the day to come soon that this fraud of a pope is history. The church has lost millions of members because of the Catholic-hating Marxist from South America.
As far your false claim that Bergoglio is not if favor of homos raising children; maybe this will open your eyes:
