In a handwritten letter to homosexualist James Martin, dated 28 January and intended for the public, Francis reiterated his immoral statements during a recent APNews.com interview.
Regarding homosexual acts, he insists that "criminalisation is neither good nor just."
Francis watered down his earlier statement that homosexual acts are a sin by saying that "any sexual act outside of marriage is a sin," even though homosexual acts are not a "sexual act" but against nature (Romans 1). So Francis is comparing apples and oranges.
He goes on to use "circumstances" to "diminish or eliminate guilt", suggesting that "intention" might diminish responsibility for homosexual acts - when it doesn't.

Send us good and faithful shepherds.
