The part of seeking that saves one soul is in FINDING the Lord, of which this Pontiff seems indifferent as not to "offend" anyone -- namely the homosexual lobby he claims doesn't exist.

In the direct translation (I posted it somewhere above), the Pope criticizes the homosexual lobby. He says: "One must distinguish between being gay, having this tendency, and lobbying."

For the record, I do not like the term "gay" being misused in that way, either. But, I think maybe the Pope just hasn't heard the United States conservative's argument against the misuse of this English word.

That's not "criticism"; That's a swat with a feather-duster.

The Pope's words were VERY carefully chosen, my friend. He ill-advisedly legitimized the euphemistically deceptive propagandist word, "gay" instead of "homosexual".
