Pope Francis has once again stated that the Catholic Church won’t bless same-sex marriages, calling it a divine sacrament that the church cannot change. Speaking to reporters last week, Francis was asked if he approves of European countries passing laws recognizing marriage equality, the Associated Press reports.

Despite opposing Catholic Church blessings same-sex marriages, Pope Francis rejected those who would condemn gay people. “Marriage is marriage, but this does not mean condemning [homosexual] people,” he said.
