Pope Francis said on Wednesday, January 26, that parents of gay children should not condemn them but offer them support. He spoke in unscripted comments at his weekly audience in reference to difficulties that parents can face in raising offspring. Francis said those issues included, “parents who see different sexual orientations in their children and how to handle this, how to accompany their children, and not hide behind an attitude of condemnation." He has previously said that gays have a right to be accepted by their families as children and siblings. He has also said that while the Church cannot accept same-sex marriage it can support civil union laws aimed at giving gay partners joint rights in areas of pensions and health care and inheritance issues. We'll wait and see how long it takes the Vatican's Doctrinal Office to counter these statements, as they've done with his accepting statements in the past.
