Make sure to utilize reputable Catholic sources to try to fully understand what is being said or done (Catholic News Service, some have raised is that if we seek justice for homosexual the Catholic News Agency, the USCCB, the National Catholic unions then we are implicitly approving this way of life). My Register, the Knights of Columbus- to name a few). sense of what the Pope is saying (and this is just Fr. Rich’s Two- when Pope Francis speaks to the media or in take) is that while the church upholds her traditional view of other informal settings, it does not hold the weight of official marriage, he thinks it could still be acceptable for the church teaching, like Encyclicals, Apostolic Exhortations or Solemn to seek justice and desire communion with our brothers and Declarations EX CATHEDRA (from the chair of Peter).
