Tell the pope that.
He probably would agree. His religious faith influences his view on the issue, but he knows its not really a theological issue and not at all an issue of worship or religious organization.
Your entire post shows it's a religious issue...
My post shows how its not a religious issue. A religious issue is an issue about religion, about theology, or worship or religious organization or practice. Moral and human rights issue of all types are obviously influenced by religious belief, but that doesn't make them religious issues, any more than the fact that religious belief was the source of a lot of abolitionist support meant slavery and ending slavery where religious issues.

If a religious code, or religiously inspired ideas, cause someone to campaign for something, that doesn't make that thing a religious issue, unless its actually about religion. No one, on this issue, is compelling or forbidding worship, or belief, or contributions to religious organizations, the law going either way on this issue wouldn't violate either the establishment or the free exercise clause.
