I deeply admire Pope Francis and I am very proud of him. He is very brave man.
 
Personally, I'm happy that Pope Francis recognizes that love, the real abiding love, isn't really between two people but two souls. Love isn't restricting and can be given freely to *anybody*. Same sex unions are an example of this.

I'm not sure I consider "brave" the correct word to describe the latest statements from Francis. He has gone against Biblical teaching which, surely as the head of the Catholic Church - the Pope - he is supposed to be supporting and representing more than anyone else?
 
I think both critics and people who are enthusiastic about the pontiff's comments have not understood him. He has not "blessed" same sex unions. He has insisted that same sex couples should have certain protections under the law, and one of those rights/protections should be the right to form a family through a civil union. As a practicing Catholic I agree with him


The interview is an old one and has been taken out of context. He has not afforded civil unions by same sex couples the dignity of a sacramental marriage, as is being implied in the press and on social media.

Also when a pope expresses his PERSONAL opinion on faith and morals he is not speaking "ex cathedra". He is not making his views part of the official teaching of the Catholic Church.

Strange that no masks are worn during those recent meetings, the Pope and his guests often get pretty close to each other and the Vatican should set a good example..

Post 293 by AN Ard Ri, Pope Francis congratulated Biden on the election. Biden also said what will or plan to do for climate change and Immigration, but nothing about the sanctity of life, of the unborn, since Biden is pro Choice. Abortion seem not to be high priority for the Holy father or Biden? and a few other things. I am Catholic and this bothers me [...]
