VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has denounced anti-gay discrimination as reminiscent of Nazi-era persecutions and evidence of a "culture of hatred" that has re-emerged today.

Francis made the comments in a wide-ranging speech Friday to an international penal law association. He said some public officials speak about persecuted groups the same way Adolf Hitler referred to Jews in the 1930s.

He said: "These are actions that are typical of Nazism, that with its persecution of Jews, gypsies, people with homosexual orientation, represent an excellent model of the throwaway culture and culture of hatred."

Virtually every civilization for the past 4,000 years have been acting like Nazis. Who knew?

In that era, sodomy was illegal and punishable by prison in all the Allied powers too.

Homosexual acts...ALL homosexual acts...are grievously sinful.Is that “persecution”...or is just a confirmation of the meaning of the 6th Commandment?

What policies about homosexuality is the bishop of Rome condemning exactly? His own church will not participate in adoptions to same sex couples. That’s commendable, imo. Does he disagree with this policy?

Can he be deposed?

I have flirted with joining the Catholic Church in the past. However, this guy
makes me think my ancestors had a point in embracing Protestantism and rejecting the pretensions - as it used to be said - of the bishop of rome

He's also exhibiting an ignorance of history. Didn't the Nazis round up homosexuals and didn't they make them wear a pink inverted triangle in the camps? Is any western country doing anything like that today?

first of all, it is not anti-gay persecution. It is anti-sexual pervert objection. Pope Francis is a pusher of the homosexual agenda obviously. I wish he would pay more attention to the work of the Lord our God and not to homosexuals.

I just embrace Christ. And he embraces me right back.

... I spend quite a bit of time apologizing to him too because I am prone to screw up quite often. But unlike this Pope, I don’t try to rewrite the Bible and tell God that I know more than him.

The Third Reich was rife with homosexuality and sexual perversion. Read “The Pink Swastika” by Scott Lively; Eric Larson’s “In The Garden of Beasts” also documents the general social decadence of 1930s Nazi Berlin.

It’s pretty clear now this blasphemous individual occupying the papacy is not only looking to protect the extensive network of Sodomites (and Sodomite pedophiles) within the church, but even to give them moral legitimacy. How this can stand is beyond my comprehension.

Their pope makes me happy every day that I left them years ago. Sola Scriptura, thanks.

“...How this can stand is beyond my comprehension....”

Because evidently, no one has the balls to remove him.

The Pope is going full-blown Schiff - calling the more-likely-to-be Christian conservatives Nazis and creating a new sin of hurting Mother Nature out of clean air....the Church has taken a definite downturn with him and that fits with Biblical Prophesy...I’m wondering if the remnants of the Catholic Church will become the base for the “World Church” that will infect the world as the end times approach.
