Foolish me, here was I thinking the Catholic Church would want what the pope wants.
Maybe god should send an amendment like a change to a constitution or something: This is Peter (the Rock) upon which I shall build my church until the day comes when the church and the rock don’t have to act as one. Roland. FN wrote: The Church? Or Pope Francis? BBC seems to suggest that it's the Pope's stand "The Catholic Church teaches while homosexual acts are sinful, homosexual tendencies are not". "It is the first time the Pope has thrown his backing for civil unions for same sex couples. But it's not a change from his earlier position: as Cardinal in Latin America he was against same-sex marriages but for civil unions." "This is a Pope who has flirted with liberal positions only to fall back on the conservative/traditionalist when push came to shove.... he gave this views in an interview not in policy... I won't expect the Catholic Church to change its position on this immediately..." "There is a wing of the Catholic Church which is very uncomfortable that he has taken stands on liberal issues" >
