No Pope Francis didn't say that gay relationships are ok
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 14 hours ago
In a new movie the Pope's position on active homosexuality is grossly misrepresented. The Vatican has confirmed that in fact the Pope did say: *“What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”* But like Pope Francis's comment on divorce and remarriage this comment needs to be understood in context. In the case of divorce and remarriage the Pope has explained that he was referring to very unusual cases where a woman divorces her husband, remarries, has children with the new "husband", but then decides that what she's doing is ...

It destroyed Iraqi T-72 tanks in the Gulf War in now-famous tank battles, using highly accurate, long-range thermal sensors able to destroy targets without being seen itself. It patrolled the streets in Iraq in 2003. It is a major mechanized attack platform with massive amounts of fire-power and an “intimidating” presence when used as a deterrent. It was built in the 1980s as part of the Army’s famous Big 5. The U.S. Army’s classic Abrams Main Batt...
