Pope Francis: Goverment Workers Have ‘Human Right’ to Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Mediaite.com:

In an interview with a gaggle of reporters, Pope Francis said government workers should have the right to refuse to issue gay marriage licenses if it was against their conscience.

“Conscientious objection must enter into every judicial structure because it is a right,” he said in Rome when asked about government employees like Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.

“I can’t have in mind all cases that can exist about conscientious objection, but yes, I can say that conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right,” he continued. “And if someone does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right.”
