Where is the chastisement of Jesus Christ, "GO AND SIN NO MORE."? Where??

you are assuming that these have sinned. The words of Pope Francis are clear -- not to those who sin continuously but to those who have the inclination to sin -- as do you and I (different sins from the one indicated here of course).

Pope Francis told reporters on his flight back to Rome from Brazil on Monday regarding homosexuality: “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?”

The Pope’s remarks... hardly represent a break with Catholic church doctrine, which still condemns homosexuality. The Vatican’s catechismal stance regarding the LGBTs in our midst remains the same: The church may love the sinner, but it hates the sin. And since Francis was referring specifically to gay priests—who like other Catholic clerics take a vow of celibacy and so don’t commit the “sin”— His Holiness wasn’t exactly going out on a theological limb.
