Although Pope Francis defines the ideal relationship as a heterosexual marriage and that he doesn’t support gay marriage, he also emphasized that other loving relationships have importance too. <br /><br />The current head of the Roman Catholic Church calls for more mercy and tolerance than judgment. <br /><br />He writes: "Every person, regardless of sexual orientation, ought to be respected in his or her dignity and treated with consideration."<br /><br />The Pontiff also discussed the different circumstances that might possibly lead to a divorce, which is deemed as a sin based on Catholic teachings. He urged priests to “carefully discern situations” and welcome divorced Catholics into religious life. <br /><br />“Such persons need to feel not as excommunicated members of the Church, but instead as living members, able to live and grow in the Church and experience her as a mother who welcomes them always, who takes care of them with affection and encourages them along the path of life and the Gospel,” Pope Francis write.<br /><br />In the document, Pope Francis asked for better sexual education for Catholic youth and maintained his negative stand against artificial birth control. According to him, the practice of “safe sex” sends a “negative attitude towards the natural procreative finality of sexuality”.<br /><br />Moreover, the Pope urged priests to approach Catholics not in judgement but in love as well as to make decisions suitable to their local conditions, needs and culture.<br /><br /><b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
