Pope Francis has said that he thinks same-sex couples should be allowed to have "civil unions".
He made the comments, which observers say are his clearest remarks yet on gay relationships, in a documentary directed by Evgeny Afineevsky.

"Homosexual people have a right to be in a family," he said in the film, which premiered on Wednesday.
"They are children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or made miserable over it.

"What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered."
He added that he "stood up for that", apparently referring to his time as Archbishop of Buenos Aires when, although opposing same-sex marriages in law, he supported some legal protections for same-sex couples.

The church has to keep up with the society or lose relevance.
A couple of years ago in my church there was a complaint made to the Bishop by a busybody that the two women running the choir had recently gotten married and that he should do something about it.
When he didn't do anything, the busy body went to the papers.
The parishioners were outraged when the couple quit due to the publicity visited on them.
The parishioners got together and asked them back coz they were actually very good.
They also made sure that outsiders and press did not make a spectacle.
Then weeks later the Bishop came and preached about love and tolerance without endorsing anything.
It shows you can disagree but tolerate.
Here in Kenya we ain't tolerating no shiet from the damned faggots
