He can't do anything until their Parliament passes something. And the conservatives do have a majority. It's not gonna happen anytime soon. "Announced a commitment" pretty much says it all.

I think that they'll pass the law.

Here in Spain, the conservatives kind of "assimilated" those laws, though there's some opposition from certain sectors of the church. Conservatives here mainly oppose the use of the word "marriage".

In the long run, the law has proved positive (I'm a conservative).

So it must be a pain in the a.s.s for the French "grandeur" that atavic and inquisitorial Spain accepted all those laws and they, the most "socially advanced luminaire in the world" (according to them), rebuke the law.

Italy is different, the Pope lives there..

French do not care about Spain
