The Church is supposed to be accepting of sinners, for we are all sinners. Very few in all of time have never sinned. Examples: Christ. Mary (although many non-Catholics dispute that, and I’m not here to argue the point). Those murdered in the womb (I’m assuming, don’t know though).

Those without sin do not need any church. Again, that is a very short list!

But the Church (and any Christian church) is not supposed to be accepting of sin itself.

I’m sad to say that Francis apparently does not get this. Or he does and is acting contrary to these simple principles.

I should have said “welcome” instead of “be accepting of.” My bad.

And a caveat: only if they try to sin no more.
