    He didn't confirm that both were baptized Catholics before giving them a Catholic marriage. Is that the issue?

    If so, I can see where it would cause problems with traditionalists.

    ...I assumed it was because they were same gender...

    "Pope Francis marries flight attendants Carlos Ciuffardi, left, and Paola Podest, center,...", see photo.
