This sure mixes up the "religious" right in the States.

Pope endorses civil union laws for same-sex couples

From link.

Pope Francis has declared support for civil unions for same-sex couples for the first time, according to the Catholic News Agency.

The Pope made the historic remarks in a new documentary film, "Francesco," which was released in Rome on Wednesday.

"Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. They're children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it," the Pope said in the film, the Catholic News Agency reported.

"What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered," the Pope said.

Francis has suggested in past interviews that he is not against civil unions, but this is the first time as Pope that he has directly come out in favor of them.

As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Francis advocated for same-sex civil unions as an alternative when Argentina was discussing whether to legalize same-sex marriage.

Evangelicals and Seven Mountain Christians: Catholics aren't real Christians! Real Christians don't recognize popes! Catholics kill innocents during the Crusades and the Inquisition! We don't!

Moderates of any religion and non-religion: Evangelicals and Catholics are both Christians, just like how Sunnis and Shiites are both Muslim. You call your religion the religion of peace. Now, stop fighting!

Election spending limits and a ban on corporate donors were two of the best things PM Harper did for Canadian politics.

Weren't those both introduced by the Liberals? The only thing Harper did was eliminate the per-vote subsidy, no?

You might be right, though the LPC was nearly starved of cash when the corporate donors were banned, vs. the Cons having the benefit of more grassroots fundraising. I assumed it was a Harper play to cut off the LPC’s money supply.

Actually, IMO Trump is trending towards the win tonight. Biden on the ropes, at a loss for words and clear mind. Come on Joe, the world’s at stake here.

I agree. Trump was much more under control tonight. This is a huge win for him. He dodged tough questions but so did Joe, and he particularly got joe on fracking, his record over the border and also justice reform.

Jesus....can Joe last another 30 mins of this?

When Trump talks Biden looks down at his podium as if he’s about to take a nap. Come on Joe, rip open your reserve caffeine patch.
 
Joe Biden is the one with the mask...
