Such statements seem to be in line with the more merciful approach the church has taken toward gays and lesbians under Pope Francis. In 2013, Francis famously said, “Who am I to judge” gay people?

“Who am I to judge” gay people?”
Taken out of context. What he said was “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” He means homosexuals who are living a chaste lifestyle. The act of sodomy is a sin.
But dimwitted liberals took the “who am I to judge” words and ran with it, purposely misquoting what he said for their own personal agenda to legalize homosexual activity and the homosexual lifestyle. The only thing that bothered me about the statement was him using the PC word “gay” to describe a homosexual. First pope in history to not refer to them as homosexuals, which they certainly are. The word means “happy” and most homosexuals I have met in my life are anything but happy. Most are mean-spirited, vindictive, miserable people who stay mad because most people deplore their immoral, perverted lifestyle. They want acceptance for this degeneracy and the only people that will give it to them are liberals, which is a mental disorder itself.
