Diocese of Phoenix Statement on Today’s Media Reports

October 21, 2020 | En Español

We are aware of the many reports of Pope Francis making a statement about same-sex couples and civil unions in the context of a documentary interview. We are unaware of any official statement by the Holy Father or the Holy See about this interview.

The beauty and God-given nature of Marriage being between one man and one woman remains unchanged, and unchangeable, as does the inherent dignity of all human beings, who are made in the image and likeness of God.

We await further clarification from the Holy See on what is being reported in the news about Pope Francis’ statement about civil unions.
