Pope Francis says Same-Sex Marriage 'disfigures God's plan for creation'

 

Catholic Head Pope Francis has said insists same-sex marriage 'disfigures God's plan for creation'. It threatens family institution  “the family is threatened” by the efforts of those seeking to “redefine the very institution of marriage”, in a reference to same-sex marriage campaigners.

The pontiff made the comments at a mass in Manila as part of his tour of Asia, despite apparently relaxing the church’s position towards the LGBT community in recent months.


“The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage. These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation,” the Pope said.

Ramping up the rhetoric he continued: “Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself.”
