Cardinal Says Pope Wants Church To Study Gay Marriage

New York’s Cardinal Dolan said on Meet the Press that Pope Francis wants the church to look at gay marriage.

According to Dolan, Francis wants church leaders to “look into it and see the reasons that have driven them.”

“It wasn’t as if he came out and approved them,” Dolan said. “He said, ‘Rather than quickly condemn them, let’s just ask the questions as to why [gay marriage has] appealed to certain people.”

In an interview published last week by an Italian newspaper, Francis reiterated the church’s longstanding opinion that “marriage is between a man and a woman.” But, he said, “We have to look at different cases and evaluate them in their variety.”
