Vatican City: Pope Francis has said that parents with gay children should not be worried and should be supported. The pope made the remarks while speaking at a weekly conference on the crises facing parents.
The pope also explained how children should be treated if they come to know different sexual orientations and tastes. He reminded parents not to be sad about it. The pope has already pointed out that members of the gay community have a right to be recognized within their families. He also said that they are entitled to remain children and siblings in the family.
Churches do not approve of same-sex marriage, but we can support their civil union laws. He also demanded that the community be prepared to support laws that would help gay couples secure their rights. According to a guideline issued by the Vatican’s doctoral office last year, Catholic priests will not be able to bless same-sex couples. This was very disappointing for the gay couple who belong to the Catholic sect.
Meanwhile, in the US and Germany, the practice of blessing same-sex couples in marriage has reportedly begun in many parishes.
