ROME (AP) — Pope Francis endorsed same-sex civil unions for the first time as pontiff while being interviewed for the feature-length documentary “Francesco,” which premiered Wednesday at the Rome Film Festival.
The papal thumbs-up came midway through the film that delves into issues Francis cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination.
“Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God,” Francis said in one of his sit-down interviews for the film. “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.”

Yeah I will indeed watch that...I try to catch their programs each night!
There was a time when, if you wanted to really, really emphasize the truth of something, you’d ask “hey, is the Pope a Catholic?”
That doesn’t seem to be working so well these days.
I believe as our great country is in total collapse so is the Church.
We have witnessed in our lifetime the end of his great experiment. Certainly two of his greatest works.
Sodomites are NOT children of God. This illustrates the bible ignorance of the so-called "Pope".
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, - 1Co 6:9
"Abusers of themselves with mankind" (=sodomites) are not inheritors of the kingdom. They do not have sonship through adoption. They are not children of God. Only repentant believers are "children".
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. - Jn 1:12-13
A repentant sodomite will turn from his abominable behavior indicating that he is new creatures in Christ.
And folks wonder why I walked away from the Catholic Church!
I believe in JESUS the CHRIST, I believe that JESUS is the son of GOD ALL MIGHTY.
HE was scourged, bled, and died to absolve me of my sins (which are many), he rose again to prove that with the LORD GOD there is a life of wonder and joy after this mortal misery.
He’s looking more and more like the False Prophet that does his dastardly deeds during the Tribulation. The unfortunate thing is that many congregants have no clue about this. Same goes for other denominations that are being led by Scripturally bankrupt pastors.
Such a departure from the RC church I grew up in.
Yup!
The Pauline corpus refutes this wolf. If the church heirarchy does not remove him promptly, you shouuld leave and find a church that faithfully exegetes the Scriptures.
Bergoglio just jumped the shark.
Rest assured that the Vatican is not part of NATO.
Any Catholic on this forum still believe that Francis is not a heretic antipope?
A Latin American liberation theologian Jesuit. What could go wrong?
This Dope is on the Highway to Hell.
He is not the Vicar of Christ.
He is the Vicar of Satan.
issues Francis cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination.
How about saving the wretched?? Leading people to God?
Political activist Pope? Huh... thought that was verbotten.
Born and raised catholic.
At 55 years old I left. I am 64 now.
Amen
This is an attack on the family unit created by God.
Here’s a heretic & destroyer.
So, if a priest is gay, can he enter into a civil union with a fellow butt pirate— you know, just to protect his right to property and benefits? And if yes, why can’t hetero priests enter into civil unions as well? Frankie just pulled the pin and walked out of the room.
