someone please tell the Pope that young people have NO reason to marry...none....we're not pawns of some religious hierarchy....we can have civil unions just as good as the next couple, except we can skip all those long premarital classes that are required....
I don't care about civil unions...let them have it....but I never expected my Pope to be blessing them....
what are we supposed to do as Catholics????....

He simply acknowledged that secular societies could recognize such unions (much like divorce is recognized, yet frowned upon by the church ).
