In a new papal interview, Pope Francis cast doubt on the Catholic teaching prohibiting practicing homosexuals and the divorced and 're-married' from Holy Communion.
In an interview granted to Argentinian news outlet infobae, Pope Francis has issued fresh confusing comments on homosexuality and the divorced and “re-married,” appearing to state that such individuals can receive Holy Communion without clarification.
The newly released interview was to mark the Pontiff’s 10-year anniversary upon ascending the papal throne, and forms one of many such initiatives which are taking place currently to mark the occasion.
Given the Pope’s regular comments regarding homosexuality, which have caused confusion for some time, infobae asked the Pontiff about the reception of Holy Communion for homosexuals. “Leaving aside the choice or sexual preference, a person who has complied with the rest of what the Church mandates, would he be able to receive Communion?,” asked the news outlet.

Pausing then, before apparently refocussing on the issue of admitting those who practice homosexuality to Holy Communion, Francis stated: “The big answer was given by Jesus: everybody. Everybody. Everyone inside.”
“When the exquisite ones did not want to go to the banquet: go there to the crossroads and call everyone,” he said, drawing selectively from the Gospel passage. “Good, bad, old, young, young men, young boys: everybody. Everybody. And each one resolves his positions before the Lord with the strength he has.”

He conveniently left out the part where the guy who did not wear a wedding garment (I.e., did not repent of his sins) was summarily thrown out of the wedding to the gnashing and grinding of his teeth.
The Pope needs to be chatechized.
Not only sent outside, but the man without the wedding garment was bound hand and foot and cast into the “outer darkness”.
Chilling words from the Lord that this pope, as you mentioned, ignores.
