"God doesn't reject homosexuals," Francis used his usual doublespeak talking to the Italian psychologist Salvo Noé for another interview book ("La paura come dono" - Fear as a Gift), reports Ansa.it.
“God's style is closeness, mercy and tenderness," Francis repeated his mantra, "His heart is open to each and every one. He is Father. Love does not divide, but unites.”
Hypocrisy is for Francis “the fear of the truth” - while a more brilliant mind called it "the bowing of vice before virtue."
For Francis who ratters down words like "closeness, mercy and tenderness" in order to do the opposite, "hypocrisy in the Church is particularly detestable.”
Obviously with himself in mind, he stressed that there are "many" hypocritical Christians and clergy.
Exactly.
It would be nice if he quoted from the Bible every now and then.
More so the homosexuals reject God. Not the point he was making, but from a different perspective, hes not wrong. God would prefer all be saved. But all won’t be saved.
Why would it be nice? Even the devil quotes Scripture.
Besides all he’d do is warp it.
The pope has created a false god in his (The pope’s) own image
I doubt God recognizes homosexuals. He only rejects the acts.
No, he encourages these things with his double talk.
An unrepentant sinner will burn for eternity. Fact.
God does not reject homosexuals, but this Pope rejects traditional Catholics.
Francis: “God only rejects Latin Mads Traditionalists”.
Fixed it.
G-d destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah because they were arrogant. I don’t believe that, but homosexual apologists AKA activists use that BS to excuse abominable sin.
