Pope Francis’ controversial support for same-sex civil unions has found its fair share of critics in the United States.
During a papal interview in a documentary called “Francesco,” the pope speaks about a need for a “civil union law,” which he says creates a legal cover for such arrangements.
“Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family,” the pope reportedly said. “They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.”
The civil union law would cover same sex marriages legally, he said.
