"I think the church must not only apologize ... to a gay person it offended, but we must apologize to the poor, to women who have been exploited, to children forced into labor, apologize for having blessed so many weapons" and for having failed to accompany families who faced divorces or experienced other problems."

And does he want Moslems to apologize for throwing homosexuals off of buildings, as happens today?

Are we really going to apologize for things done by the Catholic church or Christians in the past, vs. discussing how Moslems TODAY mistreat and kill the people the Pope wants to apologize to????

How about the straight Catholics being apologized to for having to deal with homosexual priests.

So why don’t you start apologizing Frankie? You pal Barack Hussein Obama would love it. He’s the apologizer in chief.

Perhaps the Pope and Obama should team up for an “Apology Tour.”

“...Francis responded with a variation of his famous ‘Who am I to judge?’ “”

There, the anti-pope just telegraphed to you that he is not the pope. The purpose of the pope is to provide discretion to the Church to with and through Christ, to provide, guide and protect His flock. Without judgement how does a shepherd tell the difference between a wolf and a chicken?

If he suggests that he is below the level of judge in such cases, then he is totally unqualified to be pope. A non-Catholic cannot discern between a sacrament and a sin. So it is with Mr. Bergoglio, sadly.

Question to ask the Pope:
Are you apologizing for the Church helping people keep their souls in a state of grace, to keep them out of hell?

So let the Pope apologize. The rest of us are not swallowing this garbage he dictates.

Start up the search committee. Time to find a new pope.

Why would he command people to apologize for a sin that they did not commit? It makes no sense.

Did the Pope read the Catechism?

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

The College of Cardinals owe all Catholics an apology for putting the heretic Bergoglio in the Chair of Peter. Not a day goes by that this Jesuit leftist does not embarrass Catholics.
