@screenshothq: Welcome back to Politics Unpacked where we break down political news in under 60 seconds🎥🌍 On Monday 8 January, Pope Francis called for a universal ban on surrogacy, a stance that is more than likely to impact the LGBTQIA+ community, of which many members have relied on the practice to have their own children. It’s not the first time that Francis has voiced the Catholic Church’s opposition to surrogacy, though the Vatican’s doctrinal office had previously said that children born out of homosexual parents’ surrogacy could be baptised, as long as there was “a well-founded hope that the child will be educated in the Catholic religion.” Concerns over the ‘commercial’ nature of surrogate childbirth are growing and in some cases, have led several countries such as Spain, Italy, some US states, and Taiwan, to ban the practice entirely. Some countries only allow altruistic surrogacy, which implies that a surrogacy can take place as long as there is no monetary compensation for it. #popefrancis #thepope #thevatican #surrogacy #lgbt #catholic

Pope Francis did not allow priests to bless same sex unions. A blessing of this kind is impossible within Catholic theology. He allowed priests to bless individuals who struggle w same sex attraction.

So there’s a story in the Bible that is about Sara who couldn’t bear children so they used someone to have her baby. But it is a sin to use surrogacy

Sounds like he’s referring to women who do it because they don’t want to mess up their bodies. I don’t know if that’s true that’s just what it sounded like.
