“Homosexuals have the right to a family”: Pope advocates registered union
The head of the Catholic Church has spoken publicly for the first time in favor of the introduction of same-sex couples.
Pope Francis spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday on behalf of same-sex couples. This is reported by the AP news agency. He said he was in favor of the documentary “Francesco”.
“Gay people have the right to live with a family. They are children of God, “Francis said in an interview. You must not throw someone out of the family or make life hell for them. We need a company law for this, in this way they are legally protected. “
As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis advocated for the introduction of same-sex couples. Today he repeated his position as Pope for the first time. Today he did not comment on the marriage.
Pope: homosexuals should not be discriminated against
He always emphasized that homosexuals should not be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. He attached great importance to family. But according to Catholic doctrine, many representatives of the church emphasized, marriage is reserved for the union of man and woman.
However, there were voices in the Vatican that did not strictly reject gay-lesbian associations. But they drew a clear line between marriage and the recognition of society by civil law. Now the Argentine Francisco, with his testimony as Pope, has taken a strong position within the Church.
Switzerland has known the registered company since 2007. Currently, only same-sex couples can apply. The introduction of a “marriage for all” is currently being discussed in parliament. (well / sda / dpa)
