May the Holy Spirit guide Pope Francis as he deals with this infection.
AMEN!
Haven’t several popes and other Church officials indirectly confirmed what everybody knew about the the homosexual coterie in the Church hierarchy?
Any “Gay Lobby” should be shown the lobby.
I movement defined solely by sodomy. It ain’t about love.
If they cannot abide by Gods laws then they need to go. The Lord will protect Pope Francis and aid him in his time of need.
I fear the Pope will soon be “Breitbarted”....
pull it out francis! root and branch.
God is with this Pope.
Lie detector tests and truth serum.
This really is more of a country club than it is a religion.
Well he has a big task ahead of him to futher clean house.
Clean what house? The catechisms don’t condemn homosexuality-only that the feelings should be arrested. It doesn’t recognize it as sin. So what on earth is he “cleaning”?
The Bible views it as a sin and the Bible was there long before any catechisms.
Now, destroy it!

and only because you posted the same nonsense twice and got me to respond,
Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience sexual attraction to others of the same sex. Although homosexuality has taken many forms, its psychological source remains largely unexplained. Catholic Tradition (based on biblical texts) has always taught that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered" (Congregation for Doctrine of Faith). They are against the natural law, are closed to the gift of life, and do not proceed from a genuine sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
Called to Chastity (2358-2359)
The number of persons with homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They did not choose their condition and they must be accepted with respect. All unjust discrimination must be avoided. They are called to do God's will and to unite their sacrifices to the Lord's sacrifice on the cross.
Homosexual persons are called to chastity and to a self-mastery to gain inner freedom. If supported by disinterested friendship, prayer, and the sacraments they can approach Christian perfection.
And, you're right, this is at odds with what the scriptures tells us.
And of course there is absolutely no connection between the homos who have infiltrated the Catholic Church having nothing to do with predatory Priests. Just as there is no connection between the muslims who have infiltrated the United States having nothing to do with muslim terrorism in the U.S. (sarc. off)
Since when did Catholic theologians start thinking they were smarter than God and his word on the abomination status of male homosexual relations? Woe to the Christians and Jews who think they’re smarter than God.
