Pope Francis says gays — and all the other people the church has marginalized, such as the poor and the exploited — deserve an apology.

Francis was asked Sunday en route home from Armenia if he agreed with one of his top advisers, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, who told a conference in Dublin in the days after the deadly Orlando gay club attack that the church owes an apology to gays for having marginalized them.

Francis responded with a variation of his famous "Who am I to judge?" comment and a repetition of church teaching that gays must not be discriminated against but treated with respect.

The more I see folks pine for Benedict now, the more I am convinced that his resignation was all very well thought out and Benedict was included in it. Good modernist cop/Bad modernist cop at its finest.

“Good modernist cop/Bad modernist cop at its finest.”

Ahhhhah. That sounds quite plausible. The talons are long and dig deeply so as to not allow the prey to escape.

The College of Cardinals owe all Catholics an apology for putting the heretic Bergoglio in the Chair of Peter. Not a day goes by that this Jesuit leftist does not embarrass Catholics.

“This Pope is just dying to come out of the closet.”

You did mean “anti-Pope”, didn’t you?
