TIME person of the Year: Pope Francis says NO to immoral homosexual marriage
Francis signals great change while giving the same answers to the uncomfortable questions. On the question of female priests :"We need to work harder to develop a profound theology of the woman." Which means: no. No to abortion, because an individual life begins at conception. No to gay marriage , because the male-female bond is established by God. "The teaching of the church ... is clear," he has said, "and I am a son of the church, but [...] it is not necessary to talk about those issues all the time."
