Pope Francis has ended his trip to Slovakia by speaking out on abortion and same-sex marriage.
During his flight back to Rome he said "abortion is homicide".
But he backed away from denying communion to politicians who support abortion rights.
He also spoke about marriage and said it is a sacrament between a man and woman, but added that same-sex civil unions are good and helpful to many people.
The pontiff said the Catholic Church “doesn’t have the power to change a sacrament as it was instituted by the Lord”, but he supported civil laws that try to help “those who have a diverse sexual orientation”.
He said: "If a homosexual couple wants to lead a life together, the State has the possibility to give them safety, stability, inheritance; and not only to homosexuals but to all the people who want to live together (in a civil union)".
“This does not at all mean that they have to be condemned: No, they are our brothers and sisters. But marriage is a sacrament, between a man and a woman''.

At best Bergoglio is a heretic, at worst he is a minion of Satan.
So is this dude of the cloth a worshiper of Satan or God. This is not a question but simply an observation of a Liar who serves himself at the expense of God. Jesus knows his ilk by his acts and deeds.
It’s clear that the Bible is out the window as far as this “Pope” is concerned.
To hell with all that Bible mumbo jumbo. Frankie’s here to set the record straight!
I guess it’s easy to have a GOD COMPLEX when you’re the Pope.
Civil unions imply sexual behavior. They give scandal.
You who are of the Roman Church beware of the prophecy spoke against you!
20But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach, and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication, and to eat of things sacrificed to idols.
21And I gave her a time that she might do penance, and she will not repent of her fornication.
22Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their deeds.
23And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say,
The guy is whacked!! Not my pope.
Pappy Frank just sinks lower and lower. I’m waiting for his comments on the many benefits of people marrying a mongoose.
Satan’s Pope… appointed during Satan’s other child’s term as POTUS….
No, homosexuals wanted to usurp the entire hetero-enchilada. They had the right to civil unions in many states, but that
Wasn’t good enough. Also, one person on another site said civil unions don’t grant all the legal rights of marriage, but I don’t know if that is true.
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, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Revelation 22:14-15)
It is not those who oppose homosexuality due to Biblical convictions while seeking the salvation of homosexuals, etc. that are "homophobic" but those are refuse to condemns is and who affirm it out of fear of what the prohomosexual lobby will do to them are indeed "homophobic." But like the perversion itself, the Left have perverted the word. See Why are there so many homophobes? There are tons at my school, but how did they end up this way?
but there still must be laws, things you just can’t do.
You can’t marry your sister, your brother, or the family pet;
a sheep, or a goat - at least not yet!
That how is it with homosexuality, what the Bible calls sodomy;
men lying with men as with women, is perversity!
That they’re not designed that way, tis easy to perceive,
but yielding to sinful desires, man is soon deceived.
A moral wrong is not a civil right; like the sin itself, that’s confusion;
calling evil good and exchanging light for darkness, is sure delusion!
History tells us where this will lead, from societies now in dust,
When a nation casts off the laws of God, and follows it’s own lusts.
Promoting a sin which sends one to Hell from an early grave,
dishonors God and robs man of the Life He gave.
There’s but one answer: the Risen Jesus gave Himself for our sins;
Repent and believe, then truly follow Him!
God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with. In addition to which are medical reasons.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
Irrelevant. God's law does not depend upon individual experience.
.
He doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about.
Apparently not.
I don't know about that, but bad times are surely upon us.
.
Get right with God.
I'm trying.
Jack Chick comes to mind.
Natural law does.
Would you go to a marriage counselor who has never been married?
Would you take your car to a mechanic who has never driven a car?
Reductio ad absurdam.
