Cardinal criticises Pope's comments on homosexuality

Cardinal Raymond Burke criticises Pope Francis's comments supporting same-sex couples.

One of Pope Francis's fiercest critics in the Vatican has said that the Pontiff's recent comments supporting civil unions for same-sex couples are a 'private opinion', which ordinary Roman Catholics are not obliged to obey. Cardinal Raymond Burke reiterated official Catholic belief that homosexual acts were 'intrinsically disordered'.
