San Francisco Archbishop Cordileone told CatholicNews.com that Francis chose himself to talk about the “pastoral care of homosexuals,” lamenting about alleged “sufferings many of them endure” even by their own families.
In 2003, Cardinal Ratzinger wrote an official document against the civil recognition of homosexuals which implies granting them benefits. He labelled this a “legalisation of evil” and called politicians to oppose such legislation.
