Welp. If this pope had his way, it seems as if acceptance of homosexuals would be a form of Church dogma, no?
Any softening of Church beliefs on Life, Homosexuality, Faith and Euthanasia, to name a few, would be contradictory to Christ’s teachings.
If the Church departs from Jesus’ Word then it is not His Church.

It depends on what you mean by "acceptance of homosexuals."

First, the Church doesn't really recognize the term "homosexual." Such people are people with an inclination to a particular sin.

Like all of us, they must "repent and believe." Those who don't see sodomy as a sin can't be formally welcomed into the Church. But they can certainly be evangelized, and welcomed to learn about the Church.
