"Being homosexual is not a crime, it's not a crime. yes, but it's a sin. Fine, but first let's distinguish between a sin and a crime." Those words come from a Jorge Bergoglio interview published today with the Associated Press.
The manipulative deceiver in the Chair of Peter is playing games here with man's law and God's law. Just as James Martin, S.J., has done in the last few days declaring that an American cabinet secretary is "married" to another man. Caesar's Law versus God's Law.
He also calls for "patience" with the Chinese Communist Party and refers to Joseph Cardinal Zen as a "charming old man."

We don't need to point out here where Bergoglio is wrong, but we do need to think about what he is doing as well as Martin and the rest of their water carriers on social and other media. As with the rumoured threats to the Latin Mass and potential watering down the Missal of Paul VI, these wicked men are trying to provoke a response. They want us to lose our minds, to demoralize us. They want us to despair and believe that God has abandoned us.
God has not abandoned us. They have abandoned God. Do not lose your peace over this. More will come. All of this is in God's providence. How sweet it is to see it, how wonderful to live it. We are about to see the cleansing of the Church from all of this. What a rejoicing!
Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen

Is the pope really that stupid?
Really?
No one is saying it is...They just want these pervs to leave the rest of us alone...we do not wish to participate in their perversion...or okay it in anyway.
It isn’t a crime to be homosexual... Unless there is a law in place saying it is. Also, if you rape and pimp out your two adopted boys, you’re commiting a crime.
My dear RC FReepers,
we had the Reformation for a reason.
Love you.
Buggery is, though.
And molesting teen boys.
What year is this Pope living in ?
Lol you have so many protestant denominations with gay married ministers, gay church marriages, etc.
Though I think we hold the title for gay priests.
“I’m usually not a fan of the pope. But it may be that he’s saying:
1. homosexuality is a sin. We ain’t changing on that. And
2. in most of the world where the Catholic church is present, nobody is putting gays in jail. So quit talking like the western world is coming after gays”
You should be commended for your large christian heart that allows you to continue giving Bergoglio the Scoundrel the benefit of the doubt.
I am well beyond that.
Please pray for me.
Next the pope will announce that it is ok to love All God’s Children
Being a filthy disease-ridden queer is not a crime in these United States ... indeed, being a rump-ranger is celebrated and protected here. We have men appointed to high government offices, praised as ‘ground-breaking’ and ‘courageous’, because they like to penetrate other men.
I don’t think Martin Luther had “We need a little more buggery in the church” when he nailed the 95 theses on the Wittenburg church door.
Well the Pope is correct as it pertains to the West. It isnt a crime.
Stopped clock and all that.
No. It isn’t. One must consult the catechism. It is comprehensible to any lay person or clergy member
Homosexuality per catechism is of an unknown source/origin
Homosexual people are not to engage in homosexual acts
The pope is not dumb, but he is evil. You are imagining what you would LIKE him to say.
“ homosexuality is a sin. We ain’t changing on that”
No. Homosexuality is not a sin. The acting on it is a sin
In his defense, the Pope did say that it is a sin though. AP left this part of his response out.
Yep
