Sunday Sequence: Same sex unions - a Holy Sea change?

25/10/2020

Same sex unions - a Holy Sea change?

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Same sex unions - a Holy Sea change?

The Pope appears to have backed same sex unions but does it change church teaching? 

The Pope has given a strong endorsement of same sex civil unions but is this simply recognising the need for couples to have legal rights than a significant theological change? 

Pope Francis has reinforced previous tacit support for same sex civil unions but is he simply reflecting the need for gay couples to have legal protection rather than endorsing a major change to Catholic teaching? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with theologian Professor Tina Beattie, Catholic priest Father Bernard Lynch and editor of the Irish Catholic Michael Kelly.
