“Gay”? Tell me what he said in Spanish, which is what he was speaking at the time. That would be a better basis for continued discussion.

So was he referring to gays in general or gay priests? Seems that he was answering a question about gay priests...? No?

But I see what’s going on here.
It doesn’t mean what it says, it means what Catholics say it means.
Gotcha......

Thank you for your sanity. Your remarks are knowledgeable, reasonable...

The Catholic church is
not becoming more and more PRO gay. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - I know you Catholic-haters on FR love a good story that you can misconstrue.
This pope, like those before him maintain what the Church always has: Homosexual acts are morally wrong. From Catholic Online, citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC):
"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.'" CCC § 2357. They are, in addition, "contrary to the natural law," and therefore apparently evil even to unaided reason. Id.
Judge (condemn) gay people? No, not even the Pope can do that. Judge their actions morally wrong? Yes! Francis has and does do that. It's an important distinction, one you should consider before making statements such as "The Catholic church is becoming more and more PRO gay".
To: Gamecock
"Its the Catholic way. They promulgate a doctrine, but it is so convoluted that no one knows what the heck it means. So they kill a forest worth of trees trying to explain what it is they mean. By the time it is done they forgot what it was they were talking about in the first place." Gamecock, this perplexes me. I don't have any problems with, e.g. the Catechism, which I find a model of clarity. And I daresay your reading comprehension is not inferior to my own.

I understand that having desires, but not acting on them is one thing, but the Bible CLEARLY condemns the effeminate. And even Jimma CArter had 'lust in his heart' and we ALL know what Jesus said about THat!

Yes, He also said we should kill adulterers. Stoning, I believe, became the preferred method.
I’ll follow what Jesus said. He didn’t come to remove the Law, but to perfect it.

To: metmom
True, that some people struggle with that particular attraction as sin, however, according to Romans 1, it does indicate a depravity of human nature that goes beyond the ordinary. ???

To: metmom
show me the sentence and we can discuss otherwise it’s a lot of disinformation
the Catholic Church does not teach that the only way to salvation is through it.
Evangelical Protestantism does, and it ascribes that to the Catholic Church but it is not correct.
That’s why you are posting long articles from the Catechism which no one will read.
Show the sentence.

After all, a Pope's opinions are not infallible --- not even his theological opinions.Then he might as well be King of England!

I wouldn’t dream of ever having a conversation nor exhibiting any further courtesy to Rummy Chick.
My history and hers will show that she does not deserve it nor appreciate it

If this is an accurate report, then it is the wrong message to send:
The Apostle Paul says to Christians:
1 Corinthians 6:3 RSV Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life!

Is the Pope Francis saying it’s OK for priests to have sex with men but not with women?
