This headline was a whoa moment for me. However, I do know how the media likes to take Pope's comments out of context. I'll wait and see if it's clarified with more details before buying into the full presentation of story based on liberal MSM reporting.

He was responding to reports that a trusted aide was involved in an alleged gay tryst a decade ago.
He said he investigated the allegations according to canon law and found nothing to back them up.

But he took journalists to task for reporting on the matter, saying the allegations concerned matters of sin, not crimes like sexually abusing children.
And when someone sins and confesses, he said, God not only forgives but forgets.

This is disturbing...

It is a mantra said over and over again when Priests have been accused of child molesting....only to find out years later they were avid abusers.

One UK Cardinal even yammered against gays..while being a child molester himself.
