I am not Roman Catholic so what the Pope says doesn’t concern me except as it concerns all Christians when someone is teaching doctrine contrary to Scripture. God has declared homosexuality to be an abomination and nobody can change that. If the Pope leads homosexuals (or any sinners) to believe they do not have to repent and will be accpetable to God, he isn’t doing them any favors.
No amount of good will or good works saves a person. Only faith in Christ and repentance leads to salvation.
When the reporter asked him to talk more about homosexuals he referred them to the Cathecism of the Catholic Church, which states.....
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
Nothing to see here. Move along...........
That’s why I said earlier in the thread that this is not a good thing. It will eventually lead to the acceptance of homosexuality.
It’s just the first step.
