This time I agree with him... but I guess I do not know why he said this when he has said in 2013, the Pope was asked about the so-called “gay lobby” in the Vatican.
“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis said, a rhetorical question that rocketed around the world.
I think because he rhetorical question requires more thinking than sound-bite thinking, which most people are used to.
We don’t judge people’s hearts, just their actions. As we are all sinners, we don’t judge our neighbors’ hearts, but we should judge our own.
Some people struggle with chastity, some with the idolatry of money, some with petty jealousy. None is turned away from God’s Mercy, if they seek it.
As a sinner, who am I to judge?
Before you agree, maybe you should check that you didn’t get the “incorrect interpretation” from the “Mininstry of Truth.”
“but I guess I do not know why he said this when he has said in 2013, the Pope was asked about the so-called “gay lobby” in the Vatican.”
He never said that in reference to the “gay lobby” anywhere.
“Replied when asked about the Vatican’s alleged “gay lobby” that while a lobby might be an issue, he doesn’t have any problem with the inclination to homosexuality itself: “Who am I to judge them if they’re seeking the Lord in good faith?” he said.”

See the difference between what you claim and what he actually said?
