The intrigue behind Pope Francis' "bombshell" comments on same-sex civil unions
Seated on a gold chair in his residence, the documentary showed Francis saying gay people were "children of God." "You can't kick someone out of a family, nor make their life miserable for this," he said. "What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered."

Yeah, I have some thoughts. They are pretty much the same thoughts I've posted in the religion forum on Francis.
He is no man of God. Not only is he the head of the Roman Catholic Church (which is not and never was truly Christian) but he is a Jesuit. If anyone doesn't know what that is or the history behind them I suggest you look into it. They are responsible for doing some really bad shit throughout history (not least of which was overseeing the Inquisitions).
Francis has made it clear since he has first been crowned pope that he is completely opposed to what the Word of God actually says. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and I'm like over 80% sure that he is THE false prophet spoken of in the book of Revelation.
He is a globalist who has called for a New World Order/globalist government on many occasions. Anyone who has even the slightest knowledge of biblical prophecy knows what that means.
He has said unbelievers can make it into Heaven if they are just "good people" or "live according to what they think is right". He has said the Creation account described in the book of Genesis is "not true". Yes, he believes in the big bang nonsense and Darwinist evolutionism crap even though they are both in direct contradiction to what scripture says.
Now he says that gay couples can be married lol. But naaaw, that isn't in contradiction to anything scripture says, nah, not at all. *rolls eyes*
He talks shit about Trump wanting to build a wall while he hypocritically hides behind d a huge wall in the Vatican.
I don't trust Francis anymore than I trust Satan, himself.

He is not dead lol. He is very much alive. And yes, people who actually read the written infallible Word of God contained within the pages of the Holy Bible can speak on behalf of Him.Those are His Words written down by men who were directly inspired by Him.
That doesn't help you sound any more credible.
I mean, it's fine to have an opinion, but still.

I am glad he is speaking out in favor of it, it's not particular progressive in a Western European context, however it shows some movement in the church, which still has immense influence around the world. I think he is right, and I think most Christians of all denominations (leaving aside that eThneoLgrRnae considers catholicism a satanic cult) do mostly agree that you should be compassionate to people, especially people in your family, even if they fail to act that way often.
On the whole I've been happy with this pope, I guess, in the grand scheme of things.

@eThneoLgrRnaeDo you think God will punish Pope Francis for this?
Like I said, I'm fairly certain that he is the false prophet described in the book of Revelation. If you were to read it then ,yes, you will see that he will be punished severely for all the people he has led away from the true Christ with his lies and antibiblical doctrines.
Oh, and you can just call me Lone Ranger or LR for short, if you prefer... or even just "ethneo" as some do.
So if God is omnipotent and he is perfect, and he is the creator. Then how can anyone that doesn’t conform to the male/female partner be wrong?
If gays are indeed a sin, and God is perfect in all form, then why create an individual that finds the same sex attractive to began with?
Of course this pertains only to gays, because lesbianism is awesome and wholesome. 😎
