Why homosexuality is not a crime - Pope Francis

The leader of the Catholics Church, Pope Francis on Wednesday called for an end to laws banning homosexuality, noting that “we are all children of God.”He made this known while speaking to the Associated Press, calling criminal restrictions on homosexuality"unjust," continuing that"it's not a crime."While speaking from Vatican City, he then said it is"also a sin to lack charity with one another.

Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops in some parts of the world support laws that criminalize homosexuality or discriminate against the LGBTQ community, 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.

According to the report, some 67 countries or jurisdictions worldwide criminalise consensual same-sex sexual activity, 11 of which can or do impose the death penalty, according to The Human Dignity Trust, which works to end such laws.

It's not surprising, as Christianity has overtime been change to fit the current political and cultural atmosphere

Is it biblical ?

Antichrist

Is that the teaching of your religion?

Fu!!ing bullshit

When the Bible says that judgement will start from church una think say na lie abi? If pop Francis say that homo is not a crime make una ask am him dey do am? Wat is different btwn sin and crime or de different btwn adultery and fornicator.sin na sin

How is homosexuality a crime before? It could be a sin, but how is it a crime against govt and humanity?

When the church start to talorate sin the church loses relevance because you can't serve God and still serve the devil.

It is a lie. If the Pope has an information, the Catholic church has a channel of information please stop the miss- information

If they cook story that you people gave to us is truly through why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if homosexual is not a crime Africa should wake up from mental slavery and embrace your culture and tradition

Really Pope Francis!? Are you sure that you are very conversant with the Holy Writ? Or which translation of the Bible do you have and read? Have you ever read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Romans 1:27; Revelation 21:8. Please, Pope don't teach us nonsense on Social Media.

This is unchristian

He said it's a sin and not a crime. This is from hell. Okome k'oche

No be them create am Awon father isonu

Religious leaders and politicians are like pant and ass
