The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions.

"The church teaches ..." are completely hollow words when they are in contradiction with the current pope. The pope says "Who am I to judge?" So who is Kandra to judge? Who is he to tell politicians how their consciences should operate?
The sooner we accept same sex marriage, the better off we will be, because the later one changes one's mind, the more one will be remembered for being on the wrong side. This is the direction society is going in. I predict the Catholic church will eventually accept it, maybe even soon. We already have two major other Christian denominations accepting it.
... taking their own path on this issue is hardly a turn away from from Catholic teaching
