Pope Francis says there may be ways to bless same-sex unions in the Catholic Church.

教皇方济各表示，可能有办法在天主教会祝福同性婚姻。

The Vatican published a letter Francis wrote to five cardinals after receiving a list of five questions from them on hot button issues facing the Church.

教皇方济各收到五位枢机主教就教会面临的热点问题提出的五个疑问后，发表了一封写给五位枢机主教的信。

In the letter Francis suggests that such blessings could be studied if there was no implication that the union was a marriage.

教宗方济各在信中表示，如果没有暗示这种结合是一种婚姻，那么这种祝福是可以仔细考虑的。

Francis has voiced support for civil laws extending legal benefits to same-sex spouses and bishops in parts of Europe have been blessing same-sex unions without any Vatican censure.

方济各表示支持民法赋予同性配偶合法权益，欧洲部分地区的主教一直在没有受到梵蒂冈谴责的情况下祝福同性婚姻。

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi confirmed on Monday he will stand for a third term in office in an election in December as opposition parties complained people trying to register support for other candidates had faced obstacles.

埃及总统阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西周一证实，他将在12月的选举中竞选第三个任期。反对党抱怨说，试图登记支持其他候选人的人遇到了障碍。

Sisi, a former army chief who has been president since 2014, had been widely expected to run again and secure a third term after constitutional amendments four years ago that would allow him to stay in office until 2030.

塞西曾是陆军参谋长，自2014年以来一直担任总统，外界普遍预计他将再次参选，并在四年前的宪法修正案之后获得第三个任期，该修正案将允许他执政至2030年。
