“How Bergoglio fought for gay unions, but lost”
… Argentinean bishops put the future pontiff in a minority position on civil unions
… Pope Francis added these words, “that’s what I fought for”
… depicting a precise opinion held by the pontiff and not just one of those things that happens
… “a possible alternative to what was called – and is still called – ‘egalitarian marriage”’
… “On that occasion we bishops, contrary to what Bergoglio was proposing, argued that it wasn’t just a political or sociological issue, but entailed a moral judgment”
… We took a vote and the Argentinean bishops rejected that proposal with a nay vote
… contrary to matrimony, but in favour of a civil regulation solution
… is an opinion embedded in Bergoglio’s mind
… the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith says, “In no way is it possible to approve this conduct or the legal recognition of these unions”
… It would be a scandal added on to the promotion of clergymen with very bad reputations
