Seems Pope Francis understands the times we live in.
I find myself drawn to this humble man.
Whenever I see him I smile, take a deep breathe & feel calmer. Better then a yoga class ;))
Me, so anti religion, am feeling very positive about this Pope & the possibilities he will be a healing man for the millions of followers, thus creating a ripple affect worldwide.
Pope Supported Gay Civil Unions
A closet liberal? Old colleagues of the newly installed Pope Francis recall that in 2010, when Argentina was on the verge of legalizing gay marriage (and the Catholic Church led a charge against the proposed law, condemning it as the work of the devil), then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio advocated in a meeting of bishops that the Argentine church should support gay civil unions. A gay-rights leader who spoke with him said that Bergoglio supported civil unions but not same-sex marriage.The unexpected approach was more pragmatic than theological though, as he saw civil unions at the time as "the lesser of two evils," according to his authorized biographer. Still, it offers insight into the kind of pragmatic leadership he may bring to the papacy.
