I just hope none of them have leprosy.

Nothing wrong about meeting with sinners - the crux is what is he going to tell them?

[Steelfish]

Nothing wrong here.

Mark 2:17

“Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.”

[Alex Murphy]

Is he going to have them hosed down beforehand?

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Could someone kindly inform the Pope that the death penalty is appropriate in some cases.

“Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.”

Leviticus 24:17

I hope they use plastic silverware ,
nothing worse than stating a "Holy War" (Jihad)
by eliminating a religous leader ,
and then yelling : "Alahu FUBAR ".

In Pope Francis’ defense, he probably confused them for Catholic Priests.

[Cicero]

Nothing wrong with meeting with sinners and reaching out to them with God’s Word. Let’s not go off half-cocked. Wait and see if he says something stupid.

[RnMomof7]

Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners.. so I have no problem with this IF he would call them to repentance and give them the gospel (if he knew it)

[Organic Panic]

Go where the sinners are.

Matthew 25:35-36

35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome,

36 lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me.”

[SoFloFreeper]

I don’t have a problem with the per se. Followers of Christ can love the sinner without endorsing sin.

Mark 2
