(Photo: Alamy)Pope Francis has expressed an openness towards the possibility of blessing same-sex partnerships in response to questions from five cardinals.
He suggested it may be an expression of "pastoral charity" but only so long as it is not conflated with marriage.
He also suggested that what may be considered "pastoral prudence in certain circumstances should not necessarily become a norm". CT.
