SINGAPORE: Comments made by Pope Francis in a documentary voicing support for same-sex civil unions are “not considered or admissible as official papal teaching", said the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore on Thursday (Oct 22).

In a statement issued by the Archbishop's Communications Office, the Catholic Church said in response to CNA queries that it has not received an official statement or communication from the Vatican.

“We do know at the moment what the Holy Father actually said in the interview and the context of what he said,” the statement read.

“Also, any quote from the Holy Father recorded in a documentary is not considered or admissible as an official papal teaching.”

Pope Francis' endorsement of same-sex civil unions was made during an interview for a feature-length documentary called Francesco
, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival on Wednesday.


The comments came midway through the film that delves into issues the Pope cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, as well as the people most affected by discrimination.

"Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God," Pope Francis said in one of his sit-down interviews for the documentary. "What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered.”

The Catholic understanding of marriage is defined as “the sacrament by which a baptised man and a baptised woman bind themselves for life in lawful marriage”, the Catholic Church of Singapore said in the statement.

“This matrimonial bond has two properties, namely, unity and indissolubility. Unity of marriage means that because the man and woman are united in one flesh, Catholic marriages are monogamous. It is also indissoluble until death.”

The Catholic Church’s teaching on marriage “remains unchanged” regardless of a civil union between two people of the same sex approved by the state, it said.

“What is legal in society is not necessarily moral or licit for Catholics in the teaching of the Church.”

The Catholic Church, like any monarchy or royalty, are outdated and irrelevant in this day and age and should be abolished. They can even be considered harmful and a hindrance to progress.

The Catholic Church will undergo huge transformation in the coming decades. Many of the old priests will be dead and there will be far fewer celibate priests to replace them. Demographics.

Bergoglio is a Jesuit socialist degenerate. So don't be too surprised at this. :wink:

Quite frankly, if you die die want to be a Christian, be a Russian Orthodox one. It's less... contaminated.
