A U.S. bishop says homosexuals will be able to attend a global meeting of Catholic families in Philadelphia during a visit by Pope Francis. About 15,000 people are expected to attend lectures and take part in workshops during that five-day event in September, aimed at strengthening sacred family bonds. The pontiff will visit during the last two days of the meeting.
Same-sex parents are becoming a reality despite religious and civil laws. The Catholic Church has firmly opposed same-sex marriages, but Pope Francis has expressed more tolerance for homosexuality than his predecessors.
On Thursday, a U.S. bishop visiting the Vatican announced that homosexual groups and families can have official representation at the congress in Philadelphia.

Yep.
What I expected
They’ll be blessing “homosexual unions” within a year.
Watch.
I can’t take any more of this. I think i’ll move to Cuba or maybe Red China where they are more tolerant to Christians.

The Pope will approve homosexual “marriage” within a year and abortion within 5 years.
No. The church is always tolerant of homosexuals. There is a disconnect between the first two paragraphs
Homosexuals will be welcome in church proceedings as the always are
If they expect anyone to say homosexual behavior & lifestyle is ok they will be mistaken and disappointed
Frauds and hypocrites.
No, they won’t. Plus, this is a double post.
I thought the pope had some harsh words against homosexuals?
Gay Catholics Will Be Silenced During Pope Francis' Philadelphia Visit ...Huffington Post
(snicker) Yeah, right. Who's going prevent that?
Glad I’m Orthodox.
The Homos really want to meet the Altar boys
The behavior, not the person. FWIW, a person who has same gender attraction but lives life in chastity could very well be given a place in heaven.
Is this a Mass or just a touchy feely hand holding meeting?
This Pope and the people he surrounds himself with are SCARY MARXISTS!!
Romans 10, v 9-10:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Now that's not hard to understand is it? Understanding that passage of scripture isn't the problem for most people, believing that it's true is.
The event in Philadelphia is dedicated to families — not gay issues.
