Good news, and the timing is great for us over here in America, it ties into our current religious battle.

Ho-ho! Not Lucky Pierre!

I don’t have to judge if homosexuality is wrong anymore than I have to judge if rape, theft, murder, or adultery is wrong. God judged it and said it is wrong.

[Marcella]

A homosexual can be accepted into the Catholic Church IF he/she refrains from acting on the homosexual impulse. The refraining part doesn't get across to the ones concerned about this behavior. They stop with “a homosexual can be accepted into the church”.

When this came out about the Pope accepting homos, I knew homos would see this as they were accepted with their sexual perversion ongoing, and that is what they did.

America is sliding to become the Sodom of Biblical days.

Just because the Church bureaucracy doesn’t submit this to the Pope for approval out of embarrassment for the Church; doesn’t mean that the Pope isn’t ultimately going to approve this.

My bet is you will see the Pope approving this in days.

That’s good, but I’m not sure it was the pope who did this. I don’t know who is in charge of the office of the Vatican Sec’y of State, but he was the one who has refused to act on (not denied) the appointment.

The French plan to appeal this to the pope. So we shall see.

Obama will probably send the Pope a note....

saying like...Why don't you get off your high horse....

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well he did say “of good will” which presumably meant someone who wanted to be free of its domination.

Well he did say “of good will” which presumably meant someone who wanted to be free of its domination... not someone willfully wallowing in it

This is one way to parse Pope Francis’ off-the-cuff, non-magisterial, remark made during an interview on an airplane.

Has Francis ever made a magisterial statement?

[ebb tide]

I have been saying for a couple years now that when liberals figure that out, they will turn on Francis.

And when Fr. Z realizes that Francis is a flaming liberal and admits it, he might lose his "fan club".

Pope said, “Who am I to judge?”

Well, God commands us to judge, and the entire Bible is a user manual on how to judge. The reference, “Judge not, that ye be not judged”, was a specific admonition to the hypocritical Pharisees. People who call for tolerance and quote “judge not” out of context are incorrect.

Christians are commanded to judge. Jesus said, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24).

Read Proverbs; all of it pertains to judging.

Does the Pope not think he’s a Christian? Of course he should judge — and loudly. Actually, it’s the main part of his job.

[Tanniker Smith]

Wow, and after people without a clue about Jesus and/or religion in general, lectured me during Holy Week about what Jesus would be with anti-gay pizza while beating bankers or somesuch. (Seriously, I avoided a flamewar/troll by not responding to "All I know is Jesus whipped the bankers" with "Yes, apparently, that is all you know.")

Any time people want to speak to me or complain about Pope Francis, I have to remind them that what he said/did is probably not what the media are saying/interpreting what he said/did.

[HLPhat]

Menu changed at the catholofeteria again did it?

[GreyFriar]

Now, will he, I hope, be consistent and refuse to accept Obama’s homosexual ambassador to the Holy See?
