During a mass to mark the three-week meeting of Roman Catholic bishops, the pope delivered a homily on “solitude, love between man and woman, and the family”.
He referred to Genesis, the first book of the Bible, as a bedrock for understanding human relationships.
“This is God’s dream for his beloved creation: to see it fulfilled in the loving union between a man and a woman, rejoicing in their shared journey, fruitful in their mutual gift of self,” he said.
“God,” the pope said, “joins the hearts of two people who love one another...and joins them together in unity and indissolubility.”
