​POPE FRANCIS DECLARES SUPPORT FOR SAME-SEX CIVIL UNIONS

by John R. Connolly
​
     In a new documentary which premiered in Rome on October 21, 2020, Pope Francis declared his support for same-sex civil unions. The pope said that Gay couples deserve legal protections for their relationships. “Homosexuals have a right to be part of a family,” the pope stated. “They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable because of it.”  Francis is the first pope to support civil unions for same-sex couples, although he did support them when he served as Archbishop of Buenos Aires before becoming pope.
