VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust,” saying God loves all his children just as they are and called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.
“Being homosexual isn’t a crime,” Francis said during an exclusive interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.
Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops in some parts of the world support laws that criminalize homosexuality or discriminate against LGBTQ people, and he himself referred to the issue in terms of “sin.” But he attributed such attitudes to cultural backgrounds, and said bishops in particular need to undergo a process of change to recognize the dignity of everyone.

I agree with the pope! It is time to come out of the freaking dark ages.

It's a sin. All throughout the Bible

 

[AMart]

It's a crime in many countries. He said it shouldn't be a crime. He acts like he doesn't know the difference between a crime and a sin.

Like it is in the koran. All fake of course and without one ounce of support. A biological human reality is a sin because society that wrote these books to scare people say it is. lol

Crime punishable by "mans law". Depends where you B.
It IS an abomination to The Lord.
It IS a reason to hire in the ObamaNation

Since when is the Pope an expert of what comprises criminality or not?

His role is to be the vicar of Christ and dealing with sin, not criminal justice.

It should not be considered a crime but is definitely a sin and is disgusting behavior to be ridiculed.

It's already legal Stormlover....why the care about whether it is a sin. You know it's a sin otherwise you wouldn't be posting the topic. The pope is apostate and i expect nothing less from him. So. go ahead and engage in homosexuality and lesbianism. Homosexuality is a death sentence. it causes disease, it is unsanitary, it causes mental issues, MEDICAL issues, suicide, murder, assaults on innocents, death. But go ahead. no one will stop you. Lesbianism causes big mouth karens obesity and domestic violence.

Its still a sin.

Its only the Pope's prerogative to declare sodomy "not a crime" in his own realm of the State of Vatican City, where he serves as autocrat.

So I guess this means you won't be pinched if you get caught sodomizing someone in St. Peter's Square.

But there is no Lord, and Saudi Arabia ain't a democracy. Though when they go 'nannas and start to betray their biological fate with mutilations, they mimic Islam's funky habit of performing clitorectomies.

This Pope is out of touch with Catholic doctrine.

 

[Calypso Jones]

It's freakin' legalized..what is the OP's problem. Unless he was waiting for some apostate authority to take it out of the bible's sin column.

Yeah, I'm Catholic but this Pope concerns me

If you can't prove this god then there's no such thing as any abomination to any lord. There's just human reality and homosexuality and other things that are biological reality to our mind that sure as shit isn't wrong or justifiable to the destruction of ones life.

Prove there isn't a God.

Checkmate

Most Catholics I talk to agree with your concern.

He's also the Head of State of a sovereign nation.

A nice deflection.

Legalized where? This is like being an atheist in Saudi Arabia. The pope speaks with a forked, exclusionary tongue.
