The Vatican’s Secretary of State asked papal nuncios to share with the local bishops clarifications regarding Francis' recent comments on civil homosex unions.
The full text was published on Facebook.com (October 30) by Mexico Nuncio Franco Coppola in Spanish (English: here).
The clarification consists mainly in quotations from Francis’ previous statements and shows that he only opposes homosex “marriages.” It confirms that Francis supports a legal framework for homosex unions when it says that “it is clear that Pope Francis was referring to certain provisions made by States.”
Francis’ support for civil homosex unions is not a "development" of previous Church teaching but contradicts Catholic teaching, especially Ratzinger’s 2003 document which deals with this matter. Politicians can now use Francis when supporting homosex unions.

The Pope, Card Parolin, and the Vatican have now come out firmly on one side of the two narratives that immediately emerged when what the Pope said in Francesco broke. Cf Pope’s Endorsement of Gay Civil Unions: Two Narratives Emerging. That side is of the likes of John Allen cf John Allen on Pope Francis’ History of Defending Marriage, but Being Open to Some Civil Unions, therefore, the accusation …More

Cf Pope’s Endorsement of Gay Civil Unions: Two Narratives Emerging. That side is of the likes of John Allen cf John Allen on Pope Francis’ History of Defending Marriage, but Being Open to Some Civil Unions, therefore, the accusation of the other narrative is justified, even though made by people I contend are actually with the Pope in rebellion.

MMXX, yes! In addition:
- Can Holy Mother Church be utterly destroyed?
- Pope is an Antipope?
These last two are not the Church’s position. So, in your appearing to defend the Church against Pope Francis, you actually advance positions contrary to the Church’s.

Only they know fully, what I see:
MMXX = 33XX = 2xTriple X;
MMXX = 331010 = 33/11 or 2xTriple IO (like IO Downing Street).

Whether it's called a "civil union", a non-religious "civil marriage" or anything else: it's always the same thing: a state recognition of a "union" that is against nature.

"...what we have to do is a law of civil union; they have the right to be covered legally."
Just confirmed what he already said.
