Archbishop Blase Cupich of the Archdiocese of Chicago has asked his congregation to be compassionate toward gay people following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last week to legalize gay marriage nationwide.
Cupich said in a news release that Catholic Church teachings call on members to avoid unjust discrimination of gay people. He said the respect must be real and reflective of the Church’s commitment to accept all people.

Of course, that is the new mantra of the Church. ‘Tolerance’, even for that which is abhorrent.
The homosexuals in the Church leadership have been playing a double game for a very, very long time.
I fear that may be about to end.
The activists are flushed with victory, they see the enemy routed (not sure they’re right about that), and they will now commence slaughtering the stragglers.
Maybe he can round up some alter boys and have one big compassion party for them.
Bitchy little perverted tyrants dont get hugs from me.
Funny - I may have missed it. But I never heard a gay person interviewed who thanked God for the court ruling. And I never heard a gay person go to great lengths to state his or her lack of hatred or bigotry for Christians the way that Christians do for gays. Maybe I missed it.
Compassion? Yes. Capitulation? No.
Let’s see how tolerant gays are of any priest’s refusal to marry them.
The lecturing goes one way: we must be tolerant of Islam after another beheading, we must be tolerant of . . . . after the next catastrophe.
Eventually folks stop listening.
Maybe his will be the first diocese with a “gay marriage” officiated by the clergy. Actually, IIRC, the dread Fr. Phleger has already offered to do this.
Another fag bishop heard from. Haven’t these boys wreaked enough havoc on their church already?
From everything I have heard, Cupich is one of Pope Francis’s worst appointments. Chicago is heading back down into the sewer.
Well, what did anyone expect from Bernardin's mini-me?
Not the new mandate of the Catholic Church. Please read Genesis 1 and 2
Wouldn’t compassion toward gay people involve helping them get out of that destructive lifesteyle?
Just as compassion for people in a burning car would involve helping them out of the burning car.

Incorrect. The Church call us to respect and avoid unjust discrimination for those who have same sex attraction. It does not do so for those who publicly proclaim that they are deliberately and willfully engaging in acts of sodomy or who advocate that such acts are not sinful. The attraction is a mental disorder and we should have compassion for those who are attempting to overcome it and live chaste lives. Sodomy is a vile and disgusting sin. One of the reason the homosexual movement has be successful is that they blur the distinction under the one word "homosexual."
The Pink Mafia controls Rome.
They show absolutely no tolerance for you bishop. I dare you to quote scripture on homosexuality being a sin and see how fast they stone you and drag your name through the mud.
We’ve never NOT had compassion towards gay people. We just don’t want them getting married, or acting as scoutmaster to our kids.
The homosexual impulse has no equivalent reason that can be discern other that a corruption of the heterosexual impulse
..I can be indifferent to others personal irrationality but I will not service or summit to others irrationality not call it reason or truth.... if I do then I become irrational myself
self evident truths exposes self-evident problems...and problem are not resolved by getting others to say its not a problem
