8. All I can say is "It's a Catholic thing"
He has come as close to supporting same-sex marriage as his religion will allow. Going any further will bring down the wrath of the Church on his head, something I'm sure he wants to avoid, both personally and politically. He's done the same thing on the issue of abortion rights. It would be a pretty major thing to be so at odd with the religion he has been part of all his life.

I don't agree with that reasoning, but that's one of the many reasons I'm an ex-Catholic.
