It is “important to ensure gay couples have access to public benefits [privileges], but to insist that gay couples cannot marry,” Francis said during the January 27 Ad limina visit of thirty-three bishops of California, Nevada and Hawai.
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.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
