Every person, regardless of sexual orientation, ought to be respected in his or her dignity and treated with consideration.

There you go - by using the cliches of the Left, the Pope is telling you that if you don't accept homosexuals, you are a bigot.

I wonder what this sad little pope thinks of child rape?

I think this Pope should spend some time and actually read the Bible. He might learn a thing or two:

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Jude 1:7
Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

Any call to accept the Holy Scripture yet? The “church” has been accepting them for ever. Even as leadership. Is he going to be Bernie’s running mate?

Liberation Theology is big in South America. Its a code word for loving marxism.

What am I supposed to accept about them? All I’m obligated to do is not infringe upon their constitutional rights. Do I have to accept a reach-around as a formal greeting?

>>While he didn’t change official church doctrines in his paper, which is an “apostolic exhortation” instructing Catholics on how to live, the pope paved the way for a serious shift in the Catholic church away from central tenets of the faith.

Is Apostolic Exhortation > Bible?

Is this love the sinner, hate the sin or, it’s not a sin anymore? I’m a proud cultural Catholic but not a very observant one, sadly.

To have this Pope and president both at the same is surely a sign that we have been weighed, measured and found wanting.

This Poop is following obamaba rules for the destruction of what he was chosen rule.

The liberal “media’s” pope. They love him. He puts their “social justice” bull**** ahead of Catholicism.

We are to love the sinner but shun the sin.

Still, Francis is an Obama to the Catholic Church.

But what if the homosexual opposes illegal immigration?
Maybe following the law is a greater sin than sodomy.

Or maybe under this liberation theologian, there are no sins anymore. Christ died for political positions.

And it all began by adopting a low view of the Bible in reaction to Protestantism (something no “conservative” Catholic will admit).

This situation and this statement are very tricky spiritually - I hope unintentionally.

Everything spiritual is literally black and white (except in my “Red Letter” edition, where there is also red ink), but we cannot close off the way of grace and growth. The priest’s job is to find the right balance that welcomes people to God’s grace without supporting the confusion that people who reject God’s word try to generate. It’s hard. I know, having often spent hours with my wife discussing how to approach the latest parenting challenge. It’s also the priest’s job and (I hope) his calling.

The rigorous pastoral care that leaves no room for confusion must be combined with a Church attentive to the goodness which the Holy Spirit sows in the midst of human weakness. But the Church must also be attentive to the evil that Satan sows in that weakness.

Every person, regardless of sexual orientation, ought to be respected in his or her dignity and treated with consideration. An essential element of consideration and dignity is firm guidance. I love my children too much to allow them to go astray without guiding them back to the right path, so I raised them with a careful balance between firmness and love. The Church must give its members the same love.

He is a Marxist first, then pope, then Catholic.
