It's Francis' sacred duty to STOP this priest from publicly endorsing sodomy, both for his own sake and to prevent him from leading other souls astray. "But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea". There have been no reports of this priest publicly repenting for leading little ones astray. The Pope kissing his hand will be widely interpreted as a sign of affirmation.
Perhaps by those who think like those who criticized Jesus, right?
While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
The Pope has not endorsed perversion by reaching out to someone who is perverted.
And it is Francis that causes scandal.....again.
