FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Pope Francis calls for civil protections on same-sex couples” – below is their description.
Pope Francis says in a film released on Wednesday that homosexuals should be protected by civil union laws, in some of the clearest language he has used on the rights of gay people. FRANCE 24 correspondent Seema Gupta says it marks the first time the pope has made the comments on tape, though does not necessarily mean official church doctrine on the issue will change.
