So there’s liberal bishops in the Catholic Church, and includes Dolan. Old news. The Catholic Church is not changing the Word of God. Homosexuality is condemned through-out the Bible.

Bergoglio is a liberal bishop and now he’s the Pope.

Pope Francis in the wake of his famous remark, “Who am I to judge?

The man supposedly here to lead men away from sin and towards God?

Sounds like the Catholic Church is getting ready to join Protestant denominations on the ash heap of history.

and I am convinced that it is time for Christians to open themselves to diversity.

What does this even mean? Surely it should not mean changing God’s word to suit human desires.......

Again we see the Catholic church straining to dump scripture and join the homosexual movement.

There is simply no way that Cardinal Dolan spoke out of turn previously. And there is no way the archbishop of Lucca in Tuscany is simply spouting off. I believe these statement are being deliberately made for a specific purpose.

I believe the Catholic church is intent on declaring sodomy as being acceptable. Are Catholics 6 months away from Francis declaring this or 2 years away? That's seems to be the only question at this point. This is a coordinated attack designed from the Vatican to move the worldwide Catholic into embracing homosexuality.

How tragic, but how utterly revealing of the Catholic church. When the Catholic church does this, the facade will be dropped for all to see what the Catholic church is, and that is, something not built on the Word of God.

So is adultery but Francis seems not too concerned about either sin.

Where Francis suggested that the “moral edifice of the Church” could “collapse like a house of cards,”

Once of the worst statements (among many awful statements) he's uttered. Implies that the gates of hell could prevail against the Church. His modus operandi appears to be to tiptoe around unpopular teachings rather than risk alienating the world. At a time when Christians mired in the lies and confusion wrought by the Culture of Death desperately need to hear a clear and authoritative voice addressing the filth that surrounds us in every quarter, Pope Francis is off on a tangent talking about "joy".

Is somebody going to clarify that NEITHER GOD OR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ENDORSE HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR?

One is certainly free to believe any half wit idea that pops into ones head.

We have to remember the papacy is about continuity. While many people have expectations about this, that, and the other, their hopes will be dashed.

Regarding the remarks of 2 bishops, well they are unfortunate and, based on the reporting, troubling at the least.

The Church doesn’t condemn homosexual persons, but most certainly condemns homosexual acts, just like other sexual acts taken outside of Holy Matrimony.

I will be more than happy to be shown that I was wrong.

I have known people who practice homosexuality, the same as I know people who live together. I like them as people and count them as friends, but their actions, like my own sinful actions, are wrong.

There just seems to be a coordinated effort by the Vatican to embrace the practice of homosexuality. And, you cannot accept homosexual “marriage” or civil unions without accepting, or at best acknowledging by looking the other way, the practice homosexuality.

“In my life as a pastor,” he added, “I have seen and experienced many situations … and I am convinced that it is time for Christians to open themselves to diversity PERVERSITY.”

Fixed it to what his real intentions are.
