Pope Says Church Is ‘Obsessed’ With Gays, Abortion and Birth Control
記者 Laurie Goodstein/ 發布時間 9. 19, 2013
Six months into his papacy, Pope Francis sent shock waves through the Roman Catholic church on Thursday with the publication of his remarks that the church had grown “obsessed” with abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and that he had chosen not to talk about those issues despite recriminations from critics.
教宗方濟各上任六個月後,於週四(19/9/2013)透過羅馬天主教會發表衝擊性的言論。他認為教會組織對於墮胎、同性婚姻和人工避孕等議題過份關注,因此儘管飽受批評,他決定選擇不再談論這類議題。
