“This is very consistent with Francis’ prior statements about gays and Islam. Basically, ‘who am I to judge’ seems to be his main philosophy. As long as something thinks they are doing good as they understand it, who are we to judge? Come on in and enjoy the new judgement free church!”
Nonsense! In the confessional, hopefully, the penitent has hopefully opened up his soul to the confessor as one opens a door to a room. In the setting where people are asking about gays in general, the pope is not acting as a confessor. He’s speaking objectively. Objectively, not even the pope has the right to judge a sinner. He can only judge what he sees, not what happens in the soul which he does not see. That is the judgment that the confessor is making. He is judging what has been confessed to him. He’s not making a general judgement over an entire population of people. That’s not how moral theology works. You should read the writing of St. Alphonsus de Ligouri on sin, confession and how to make judgements. Talk about stupid.
Did St Alphonsus refer to those with whom he disagreed as "stupid"? Better go check.
