The Catholic church is becoming more and more PRO gay. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The Bible is clear we ARE to judge but not be hypocrites. The Pope should absolutely judge and admonish this behavior and be clear that they need to repent.

He didn’t and it’s wrong.

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".
