Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Netizens are busy commenting on information about the leader Catholic church Vatican, My Pope Franciss, which is said to support the creation of a legal basis that regulates the relationship between same-sex couples, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender alias LGBT.
Pope Francis made the statement in the film Fransesco, a documentary directed by Russian filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival on Wednesday (21/10).
“Homosexuals have the right to be in a family. They are children of God and have the right to a family. Nothing should be thrown away or made miserable for it,” the Pope said in the film as reported by the Catholic News Agency and quoted by CNN, Thursday (22/10).
In an earlier interview, Pope Francis said he was not against the civil ties of same-sex couples. However, this was the first time he had directly expressed his support. The Pope also proposed making laws to protect them.
“All we have to do is civil law. That way, they are protected by law,” he added.
The @saturnufs account admitted that he was surprised by the Pope’s statement. He then likened the Pope’s statement to the great scholars of Islam.
However, the @ mdht83 account which tried to defend the Pope was straightened out. According to him, the Pope only allows LGBT people to pray at church, not legalizing same-sex marriage.
“Read all the content first, the pope did not legalize same-sex marriage. Instead, they allow those who are LGBT to pray at church because they also have the right to worship as well as other human beings.”
Meanwhile, the @aladyss account claims to believe that the Bible does not condone same-sex relationships. He also warned about the dangers of LGBT.
Meanwhile, the @ 4d_h1m account admits that it is not surprising that the Pope legalizes LGBT. He then shared a link to a French journalist’s book that exposed the Vatican Gay Organization.
The @ erge17 account admits that the Pope’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage is the most progressive after abolishing the death penalty.
The @mabiWiyono account tries to defend by stating that the Pope supports the rights of LGBT people as human beings but does not support LGBT personal Catholic desires.
The @akusdimanna account criticizes the legality of the Pope regarding same-sex marriage. He said the massive number of LGBT people in the Catholic Church Dormitory was clearly forbidden by God. He also has the power to follow the Pope or God.
The @amru_ms account shares a link about the Bible which clearly prohibits LGBT. He then questioned the Pope’s morality which legalized same-sex marriage.
Pope Francis’ statement in favor of same-sex marriage was revealed in a documentary directed by Russian filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival on Wednesday (21/10).
According to the film’s website, the film also explores Pope Francis’ work and views on other issues, including climate change, migration and economic equality. The documentary Fransesco will premiere in the Americas next Sunday, during the SCAD Savannah Film Festival.
While serving as archbishop of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis advocated the civil bonding of same-sex couples as an alternative amid debate in Argentina about proposing to legalize same-sex marriage.
Pope Francis’ comments differ from those of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, who called homosexuality an “intrinsic moral evil”.
Jesuit priest James Martin, who is working to get the church to accept same-sex marriage for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) said bishops from many countries, including some in the United States and Poland, who oppose civil ties should rethink their position.
