Do you have any concept of the word "Nuance"?
The Pope/Vatican does have power and influence. But not in any western government law making power.
He only has power over those who follow him. Nobody in the open free west is mandated by government to worship him or his religion. He has no power over same sex couples.
His proclaiming the Vatican cannot bless same sex unions because "it is a sin" is an attempt for that institution to assert power over others.
You’re the one who implied that the Pope had the power to make law, not me.
He actually does have some power over same sex couples, if those couples happen to be Catholic. Even if they aren’t Catholic, he can refuse to let them be married in a Catholic Church.
