Pope says he’s worried about homosexuality in the priesthood

Pope Francis has been quoted in a soon-to-be published book as saying that having gays in the clergy “is something that worries me” and remarking that some societies are considering homosexuality a “fashionable” lifestyle.

... Separately, the Italian news agency ANSA quoted Francis in the book as commenting on a clergyman who had told him that having gays in Catholic religious housing “isn’t so grave” because it’s “only an expression of affection.”

That reasoning “is in error,” Francis said. “In consecrated life and priestly life, there is no place for this kind of affection.”

He said candidates with “neuroses or strong unbalances” should not be accepted “to the priesthood nor to (other forms of) consecrated life.”

Seems like a head fake. Say you’re worried about gays in the priesthood, while promoting them to positions of power right and left and allow the German bishops to start making noises about blessing gay relationships.

Oh, BS on this. This guy is Satan’s minion if not Satan himself.

Yup. And also an opportunity to breakdown the natural family.

So what’s up with Francis?

Either Forest Gump-level naivate or something more sinister.
Either way, not good.

This Pope says contradictory things. I can’t get a read on this Pope.

“Pope says he’s worried about homosexuality in the priesthood”

“Pope says he’s worried about homosexuality in the priesthood not being accepted as normal by all the peasants in the Catholic Church”

Fixed it for truthfulness! sadly...

Worried that they’ll rat him out for even more evil than we already know about.

That’s what I was thinking, Grace - he’s worried maybe that there aren’t nearly enough homos in the priesthood.

He removed the sanctions placed on child rapist McCarrick by the previous Pope; does that clarify things?

When reviewing this guy any conclusions made about him must only be about not what he utters about his chosen topic but what he does or is doing about it .

Raging homos have ruined the church.
