The Vatican says remarks from Pope Francis about same-sex civil unions were taken out of content.
The Pope recently appeared to endorse the unions, but the Vatican says that's not the case. A letter sent late last week says Francis' answers from two separate questions were edited to appear like they were one answer.
The letter noted the Pope’s stance that "a son or daughter with a homosexual orientation should never be discriminated against within the family."
