CATHOLIC CHURCH RELEASES A STATEMENT

Vatican has finally released a statement regarding the highly sensationalised Fransesco documentary on homosexuality and same sex civil unions.

Vatican has said Papal’s comments during a sit-down for a documentary dubbed Francesco which premiered on Wednesday, October 21 were edited heavily and do not represent the truth.

“More than a year ago, during an interview, Pope Francis answered two different questions at two different times that, in the aforementioned documentary, were edited and published as a single answer without proper contextualization, which has led to confusion,” read the guidance.

While Pope Francis was archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had strongly opposed same sex civil unions. It’s that stand that was used as the basis of the current discourse.

Pope in the Fransesco documentary had said that homosexuals were children of God and deserved love and legal protection.

“Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God. What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered,” he was quoted in CBS News.

In 2016, the Pope had made headlines by saying that the world should ask forgiveness for the historical injustices meted on the LGBTQ community.

The Pope has said that it’s wrong to discriminate someone based on sexual preference.

The Catholic head had come under heavy criticism when the falsely edited document seemed to show he was open for the church recognizing same sex marriages.

The Pope through Vatican has said that he meant that everyone deserves love and we should live in a world with no discrimination.
