++But that might make some unhappy, so the new Pope won’t tell them the truth. He thinks the Gospel is “Sin on, Brother!”++

_____________________________

He thinks no such thing. He doesn’t preach it either.

++Modern man is rushing to a hell they don’t believe exists, while worshiping the God of Nike: “Just do it!” And the Pope is content to say, “Yes, do it!”++

The Pope says NO such thing.

Sigh....

Good grief! (Face palm...)

Will he tell a homosexual he is a sinner? Or does he reply, “Golly, I sin too, and I’m the Pope!”

He is excusing sin, not confronting it. Think about John the Baptist...

You are correct. Unfortunately, the words he uses allows people the wiggle room to believe he does, the way Bernardin's Seamless Garment gave cover to abortion supporters. I don't believe that is his intention but that is the result.

Relax....its the SOP of the Catholic bashing wing of Freeper..who instantly can know exactly what the Pope means and then graciously let US know what that is.

I am delighted with this Pope...His message is one of love and mercy and reaching out to all sinners....which is what Jesus did.
Something that you don’t see here when there is any topic on homosexuality...First comes the immediate condemnation ( and yes, of the persons, not just the sin) with really disgusting name calling..Wow, now that will surely bring the message of God’s love and encourage repentance(sarc).

It is diffiuclt NOT to condemn and to try to reach people if I don’t like or approve of their behavior. But I am commanded to love all, not spew hate.
