Other freepers have pointed out that in the same interview the Pope restated the position that homosexuality is sinful. The statement that we should not judge sinners is part of Christian teaching. That does not excuse the sinfulness.

The articles headline is just one more attempt by the MSM to dishonestly promote homosexuality.

Hopefully, all Catholics will learn a lesson from this. Never try to discuss your faith with anyone in the MSM. They will dishonestly misrepresent your statements.

true...I didn’t see the Pope say anything that contradicts catholic teaching.

Does the Church teach us that the Pope is the ultimate judge of a person’s soul? No.
So when he says - “who am I to judge?” ...he is correct.

Does the Church teach that homosexuals - like all other human beings - can turn to God for mercy and forgiveness of sins? Yes.

Nothing to see here.

Which part?
