Pope Francis: Church Could Support Civil Unions

[PhuturePriest]

Because it's not a coherent viewpoint.

 

Honestly like that is a rare gem.

If you see marriage as a union before God - man and woman alone can enter sich a union.

 

If you see marriage as a simple contract, ie, a civil-union, giving entitlement from the state, province or nation, then there is nothing to oppose same-sex marriage.  (Technically speaking, you coupld mary a monkey, like some have left estates to their pets and such.)

 

 

Pope francis obviously differentiates between the two civil unions and marriage in the holy roman catholic church. And there is a difference even if it is as simple as a dog isn't a cat but both a pets. Or perhaps dogs and cats are pets and bears are wild animals although all still being animals. :) Catholics catholic and the states the state. Simple. And the church can support same sex civil unions based on socio economic reasons and the stability of the economy of a nation, but not marriage nore for the reason of same sex attraction or homo sexual sexual intercourse, so to speak.

<edit> but not same sex marriage in the holy roman catholic churches understanding of what marriage is, nore support the same sex civil unions for the reason of same sex attraction or homo sexual sexual intercourse, so to speak.

 

Perhaps. I don't know exactly that's just a guess. :)
