Evangelist Franklin Graham said Thursday that Pope Francis' endorsement of civil unions for same-sex couples is "unthinkable in light of the Word of God."

"For Pope Francis to attempt to normalize homosexuality is to say that Holy Scriptures are false, that our sins really don’t matter, and that we can continue living in them," Graham wrote in a Facebook post. "If that were true, then Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection wouldn’t have been needed. The cross would have been for nothing. No one has the right or the authority to trivialize Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf."

During an interview in a documentary that premiered Wednesday at the Rome Film Festival the pope called for a "civil union law" and said: "Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God."
