That's why the adjective "corrupt" can't be justly applied to Pope Francis personally.

His corruption is evidenced by his deliberate publication of a document stating that homosexual relationships offer "a precious support in the life of the partners" -- an unambiguous rejection of God's Word. His scandalous strike against the indissolubility of marriage provides further evidence of his contempt for doctrine.

The fault here, in my view, is in the serious ambiguity. The text didn't say that homosexual men's perverse sexual acts were "a precious support". I refers, most likely, to the sin-sinful elements of their friendship. their mutual caring through sickness, hardship and grief being "a precious support." That would uphold the positive values of committed friendship without valorizing their detestable acts of sodomy.

However the ambiguity and the context make this statement imprudent in the extreme, esp. in a published Vatican document.

I say "imprudent". I would even say "harmful". I don't say "corrupt", because it is not a blessing of shameful lust.

Oh, Lordy, the typos in my last post. Pleas flick away the pieces of lint that appear in that post.

I refers= It refers

sin-sinful= UN-sinful
