Pope Francis delivering a homily this morning on the Feast of the Name of Jesus at the Gesu church in Rome, 3 Jan. 2013.

In a recent private conversation, Pope Francis has reiterated his view that same-sex 'marriage' is an "anthropological regression".

The Holy Father was also "saddened" by legislative proposals in Malta to extend equality legislation to homosexual couples, particularly those who wish to adopt.

In an interview with the Italian bishops' newspaper Avvenire published today, Auxiliary Bishop of Malta Charles J. Scicluna said that when he met Pope Francis on Dec. 12, he expressed his concern to the Pope about the proposed law. "The Pope showed his sadness at this development, especially on the question of adoption."
