The Vatican has said remarks by Pope Francis on civil union laws in a documentary last month were taken out of context and did not indicate a change in Church doctrine on homosexuals or support for same-sex marriage.
The documentary, “Francesco”, which premiered at the Rome film festival on 21 October, made headlines for a comment in which the pope says that homosexuals have a right to be in a family and that civil union laws covering homosexuals are needed.
The pope’s comments as portrayed prompted praise from liberals and calls for urgent clarification from conservatives.
