“These bishops have to have a process of conversion,” he said, adding that they should apply “tenderness, please, as God has for each one of us.”
The United Nations has repeatedly called for an end to laws criminalizing homosexuality outright, saying they violate rights to privacy and freedom from discrimination and are a breach of countries’ obligations under international law to protect the human rights of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
“We are all children of God, and God loves us as we are and for the strength that each of us fights for our dignity,” Francis said, speaking to the AP in the Vatican hotel where he lives.
Pope is the son of Satan!
Confession box
The False Prophet or Anti christ
Amazing :) 😄 but it's not a sin it's love ❤️
Chasity, celibacy virtues that applies to us all. The Catholic Churches remedies, antidotes to sinful behavior, whether it is intentional, unintentional, IN love (several different forms), humility, justice (includes Justice Police enforce, that should be BASED upon Natural Law)
Oh my God.
Such a shame Ganswein is putting the boot in now with his book since Pope Benedict’s not around to prevent it. Why don’t the US hierarchy, EWTN & Ganswein want Christ in the real world to walk among us?
SusanSarandon Jesus Mary and Joseph the Crime Boss lecturing us about sin. We know being LGBT shouldn’t be criminal, but running the biggest child abuse racket of our time should be.
LaughOutLander It's just
The Catholic church has never been big on 'scripture alone'...
The pope is unworthy of a position of influence, and authority. He’s not a man of God! He’s a man of governments!
Pope Francis is a great Pope for our times. It is a privilege to be alive during his Papacy. I love the way he is open to giving interviews and does not remain hidden and distant from people, so we all listen to his views without fear of criticism.
Big surprise about Pope Francis. NOT. Very enlightening.
AliceNkom Welcome in the XVI century 🤦🏻♂️😅 still stuck in there !
I encourage everyone to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ and get acquainted with God’s word. The word of God does not change. It does not bend towards political climates or to appease the masses! So when you see false teachers, you know them by their fruit!
gplevris End time tribulations coming to a town near you.
Once again this Socialist Pope comes out against Christian Values. Destroying the Catholic Church ONE BRICK AT A TIME.
He never said is not a sin
Wow… the AP just can’t help themselves with that obnoxious byline about American sodomy laws haven’t been active for decades.
What about pedophilia? I heard that's a thing with y'all.
The pope is a fraud - He's a complete clown...
I will quit the Catholic Church. God created us as his figure .
God himsel must be wrong when he called it an abomination. The woke pope
Same people that extorted poor people for money or told them their dead relatives would burn in hell😂😂😂😂😂
Thats their beliefs, stop pushing your agendas on everyone its disgusting
Same church that had the Bible on the list of restricted books and burned people alive, right? 🤔🙄👎🏼
nwinfield To be clear this is what Pope Francis declared: “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,” the Pope told the AP.”
Worst pope
We are not “all His children”. We are all His creation, but only those who have repented and believed in Christ are His children.
Yes all should be invited into the church... To learn the Bible and to follow it. All are sinners. All have to turn from their sin. That's the rub. Today's generation has no interest in changing themselves, just the institutions around them. Tear them down actually.
He also called Homosexual activity a sin. Not putting someone in jail for being Gay and morality are different things
Is this a different one?
It just shows you don’t have to understand repentance to be a Pope. Do these guys even read the Bible?
Because money for church. Nothing more, nothing less. Every corporation must evolve. We need to tax the shit out of this organization.
Speak based on what? His bible? What type of bible? His own tafsir?
Francis isn’t real Catholics pope. He’s an 👿Heretic that encourages homosexuality in the Vatican ! Get him outta there‼️
Man, they must be bleeding followers. They have to get that money back.
🤮🤮🤮
His opinion, we are gods on our own no man can control my thoughts… it is unnatural!
I think Pontifex needs to read a bible!
الله ورسوله وعيسى ابن مريم براء من هرطقاتكم
This is the kind of 'love' that is known as.... Conditional. They will 'love' you on the condition that you know your place back in the closet and keep those doors shut.
Revelation 17:5
Catholics are not born again believers.
SusanSarandon Here's the thing. I'm glad this Pope is making these statements. But who's to say that my community won't become again persecuted by the man that takes his place next. They're empty words unless he can actually get Catholics the world over to believe him.
Satan has his hands on the vatican Pontifex
If u leave them to talk False teachers will always expose themselves without being forced
Wow it only took him like 20+ years into this political debate to say this, while hundreds of thousands if not millions have been persecuted and murdered for being gay in the meantime. They think being human to begin with is a Sin so no thanks- we don’t need your approval pope.
Christianity is finished. Was inevitable.
So many different flavors of Kool Aid...but it's all still the same recipe...
If I express my true opinions I will be banned
It's my belief that there are a minority of catholics who are actually saved and going to heaven, despite their catholicism. They just don't know any better.
Translation: 'They got money, papa big hat needs that paper'
You can get rid of those robes. If I were you, I'd start look for another job. James T. Kirk
it's totally fucked up to want to be a priest. Talk about unnatural.
Become orthodox.
Not when you think you are God like RonDeSantisFL . The people of Florida are to blame for his hate that has taken over the state.
Earth needs cleansing in the form of a gigantic meteor.
Y’all should really start reading the former Pope’s recently published, posthumous, book that relates to this topic…
Did this Pope ever attend a Bible study class?
Does he worship Satan? 🤔
God loves all his children. Homosexuality should be decriminalized. It is a sin , but people with sin get in to heaven all the time. We don’t earn salvation it is a gift.
Welcome in...sure. Administer communion?
A Man is NOT BORN Gay, A Woman is NOT BORN a Lesbian......They Decide To Change to BE GAY on THEIR OWN, IT IS AGAINST GOD'S LAW WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE ! PEOPLE do you Not Read the Bible at all anymore ?
I miss pope John Paul II
Cause they know lgbtq is heading towards pedophilia and those nasty old fucks sure love the pedophilia. 🤮🤮🤮 Raised catholic and still believe in the Creator, but clearly the church has been corrupted.
We promise, this is the one thing we got wrong the past few thousand years but everything else is ironclad
Catholic apologists, what do you say here?
SusanSarandon We are all sinners, just in different ways. It’s more of a personal problem as to why some see it as next level sinning. Man wrote the bible, and what gets me is that most men get aroused at two women kissing, yet the sight of two men revolts them.
He would say that...considering they are all in the biggest gay club on earth.
Pope Francis is a joke
Then I guess pedo is not a crime too?🤔 might as well open the floodgates smh.
Heretic
Okay now specify the countries that do it.. Iran? China? Ukraine?
Heretic
Yes God loves us, but expects us to obey Him and His laws, homosexuality (the act) is a sin, and abhorrent to Him. If we do not obey, then we suffer the consequences, now and in eternity
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination
Women ?
Search the scriptures as the Berea’s
He no longer speaks for the church. Many catholic I know completely ignore him and say he is nothing to the faith
As a Catholic, as a gay man, and as a lawyer who fights every day against the criminalization of LGBTQ+ people this was incredible news to hear.
Wrong. Leading his flock astray.
Any church leader who does not call for repentance of any sin is a false prophet, regardless of the title they give themselves or their fancy robe.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio - typical communist. Neither of them pope.
Yes but Pontifex forgot to mention that God loves us too much for us to stay that way… God calls us to conversion, repentance and to seek mercy. “God loves you just as you are but too much to leave you that way.” Catholic Church Catholic CatholicTwitter ConversionofStPaul
Must be buddies with AndyStanley
This is why Christianity is a joke and is a dying religion. How long are true Christians going to tolerate this crap? 😂
I always thought the pope was corrupt but this confirms he is making way for the Antichrist. Now this will start more Christian hate and leading to our persecution.
Why are we pushing those LGBTQ+ to change if they are willing not to? U hv to understand the Bible as Jesus stated;'All this this shall come to pass before his coming'. Fight and save ur soul before is too late. Thx
Allah says in the Holy Quran (78) Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.
Papa fololo has lost it.
The commie pope needs to be excommunicated or exorcised
This is why I don't respect the Catholic Church anymore. It's ran by a Socialist dictator that thinks it's ok to abuse little kids.
This is the most unbiblical thing I’ve ever heard
They already do welcome the LGBTQ into the priesthood. Why do you think your side gets to use the Catholic Church for your 'whataboutism' whenever groomers are mentioned?
nwinfield His 1st sentence is it’s not a crime BUT it’s a SIN. You left that out completely in your AP article. Why
Remarkable progress, since the papal recognition that planet Earth is a sphere.
Protecting women, girls and boys from the ISIS epidemic is the most important duty of the State.
Pope Pias also opened the door to hell.
Biggest crime Organisation Ever ! More evil imposible
Well he’s gay and probably has a thing for young boys so of course he’s gonna say it
When the petty cash runs low, ya gotta find a boost. Its all about the 💰 💰 💰
Let his message be clear: he’s not condoning homosexuality, he’s saying the church should welcome them regardless, because their hearts are in need of God. Jesus didn’t come for the healthy. He came for the sick, and he didn’t come to condemn.
SusanSarandon The sexual tension between Pope Francis and accepting gay people
He may love them but God does not love the sin Sada and Gamora is a very valuable lesson let’s not repeat it. Time for a new Pope
Blasphemy.
Pontifex you’re doing nothing but generating money 💰 for the organization. But cautiously careful with accepting truth and now denying truth. Serving lifetime penance looks good on you
No
Bergolio has zero credibility as the Vicar of Christ. Who killed GeorgeNeumayr ?
Strange, as his book comes out talking about how many gay clubs are in the church seminaries. Why don't you talk about his book AP? Groomers gotta groom.
Because he is a left wing pedo
Fraud Francis is a pedophile protector, and an apologist for sodomites. RICO Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
I love him!
Sitting on the fence. The pope is speaking from both sides of his mouth. How demented west thinks everything okay with them is okay with everyone . And now, even in their Bible, God destroyed a city because of same thing the pope is trying to justify.
I am so glad this man does not speak for me.
Worst pope ever.
Satanic
Pope is right about that. Homosexuality shouldn't be a crime,but it's sin from a religious perspective. God condemns it,the bible condemns it..
Now Satan's on his way
ha! they are already there
So this he talks about … but ABORTION shhhhh
It’s a crime when they prey on children.
Apostate
Siri, show me the end of times
🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮
Lmfao Christianity is a dead a soulless religion
Satin has hold of tha catholic church now
And here we are going back to the dark ages when it was about the Catholic Church but not the word of God
This is a lovely message, but the pope just seems to re-write the rules as he goes along. What's the point of the bible? Just do away with the whole bible, we are clearly capable of evaluating things ourselves and reaching a fairer position.
Pope Francis is a true example of Christian charity and grace! 🕊
Antichrist TALK-- Pontifex shame on the Catholic church. BEHOLD, now is the TIME WORLD governments will turn on HER, eat her, and devourer. (Revelations) Your time is (SHORT) Satan. (Aziel) Pope Francis criticized GODS law unpartable sin. Even Jesus blood will not cover you.
The leaders of Christianity are enemies of the Most High. I wonder which kind of Bible they read? Romans 1: 19-32 [32]Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Pontifex Hypocrite, YOU'RE the POPE I guess the LEADERS of ROME CHURCH does not except GOD KJV-Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death.
He's great. Very open minded and has no hate in his heart. He's my favorite.
Who am i to judge, treat them with respect, we are all sinners and children of God etc. All those statements from Pope shows he is on GAY's side just he cant admit it publicly. I haven't seen him to come out with serious measures as a church leader to stop this
LBGT Infectious Diseases. They are aware that addition in their numbers can only be done through transmission, considering that they cannot grow through reproduction, they are also aware that without transmission they will become extinct.
Our sins are precisely what sent Christ to the cross! The Pope is a mere sinner who has no eternal authority and by endorsing the practice of any sin as defined by God in Scriptures only proves that. God defines good and evil…not the Pope.
And here we go…
Leviticus 20:13.'If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense. Now be gay but dont say it is prohibited in ✝️ ima muslim i know
God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob hates homosexuality. HE hates hates and hates.
Why does he have to say it? Why would it be a crime or even considered a crime?
That fraud is not Catholic
Homoseksualizm nie jest grzechem, grzechem jest homoseks.
God loves all his children, but he does not love sin. We are expected to change our behaviour
I didn't hear that. Where exactly did Pope Francis criticize laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust”?
If God loves all His children, then He loves the rapist, the murderer, and the thief. God does not like the wrong act.
Maybe thenpronkk look em is they care just a bit too much and that’s why they always end up diddling kids.
Sodomy, homosexuality is a disgusting act and a sin that God does not forgive.
This is really disgusting man😢🤭
Huh. I’d like to see him in better context. I cannot find the full interview anywhere. The AP just redirects from one article about it to the other
Pontifex i've always wondered if every man is a homosexual how does the species survive?
Church that got caught homosexually abusing little boys flips the script to make homosexuality acceptable..... why am I not surprised?! Millstones!!!!
The Bible disagrees.
Empty seat.
ganymedes and apollos are gods too. I wonder which one he is referring to. But I'm sure they love their children the way they are Homosexuality, osinbajo, North, pvc, punch
About as faux Pope as they come
'If toerate everything, you stand for nothing', sad to see how they are misleading people. Alhamdulillah for being Muslim.
He loves all. The Church welcomes all. And invites all to repent. To recognise their sin.
Even il Papa is light yrs ahead of Ron DeSantis & the back asswards state of Florida. RonDeSantisFL
I'm converting to muslim ... christianity stand for nothing Muslim
“Pope Francis - Being gay is a sin but not a crime.” Crime breaking human law. “Sin” breaking Divine law Where is the logic when religious person say so. Divine law should be above all laws. God commandments. Yet .. they follow their whims
Babylon The Great. Empire of False religion.
Wish African presidents like HHichilema would be this brave, and stand up for equality of all peoples in the land.
Baby Ruler needs to open a Bible
Laws for the church? Why does he have to persuade the Bishops? He sets the church laws. Oh...wait...he's talking about laws to define freedom of religion....yeh. Got news Franny... MAGA
“I wonder how the whites successfully convinced Africans that Polygamy is a sin but Homosexuality is a human right.' ~ Kim jong-un
As does life-long Bible scholar, Christian author & teacher, and devoted humble servant, President Jimmy Carter. He speaks truth:
Every deviate priest is glancing over his young flock with an even keener eye now. Who gives a f&k what the old senile dude says. The richest religion on Earth, with the worst history of child abuse on the Earth.
LaurieMay1013
Let that sink in. Lol
Remember when Jesus literally came to teach us that the scribes and Pharisees had created a system of control that disregarded God's commands so He tore down their system and gave us the Gospel? An example of modern Pharisees would probably sound like this...
FaQ
Sure that the Chair more important than the God laws. They are not by God creative they are just homosexual by them decision. PopeFrancis if that right,so we can't judge any one who have a strange Sexual tendencies،even with childrens. Pontifex
Heretic Pope...quite disturbing
About time!
Homosexuality is not a sin and crime but polygamy marriage in Africa is against God. Africa wake up we are brainwashed by colonists
Demon!
Pedo.
Heretic.
Pontifex Why is it a sin, Holy Father? Because it's sex outside of marriage? Why not let them marry? Credit for trying to move the agenda forward. We understand the Catholic Church is a behemoth, taking years to change course. But it's not enough. WWJD
About fucking time!
The biblical beast is not hiding anymore, for whosever reads and understands the bible shouldn't be following these pagans
A Christianity reduced to feel good platitudes without the harsh truths that make it the real deal... A lustful, addicted life brings suffering. God allows us to suffer and die unless we consciously turn to Him and repent. Saying God loves us “just as we are” is deceptive.
The Catholic Church has always welcome people that are homosexual. However just as it is a sin for heterosexual couples to engage in sex outside of marriage, the same applies to homosexuals. They each commit the sin of adultery or fornication.
yeah cause he touches little boys
When will there be a non white pope? 💩
The Pope should read the Bible again.
Wow. Even the Pope listens to Andy Stanley.
its a sin to be a gaybutt ronniepolitics KalesWorld RobertWoodsFan Seemorbutts21

Refreshing to see the Catholic Church isn’t hiding it anymore. But please stay away from the children.
Both things can be true
This individual destroyed the Catholic Church.
Is the Pope a homosexual?
Seeing pope Francis vote with his time on distracting issues like is an abuse of his title. He should be looking for peaceful resources. Russia imported 1/2 of Euro’s energy supply and raised the standard of living. Let Russia pay tariffs on what it wants for x years
𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗴: '𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲' Sick of many praising Pope Francis for saying homosexuality is not a crime. He said it's still a sin. He's wrong. If you believe in God, then God made us all. And you shouldn't judge.
Christianity on the most against the nature.
This crook is corrupted to the core.
yes 🖕🏽this dude...🤡🤡🤡
Pope is a pedophile. Priests love to diddle little boys, what's he going to say?
that is what apostasy looks like 👺
False prophet!
u think god makes mistakes? agree with Pontifex
Pontifex the fake phony communist pope.
When Jesus Christ the King and beginning of all was on earth, the people (the society of today and government) wanted to lunch a harlot(lgbtq ppl of today) but Jesus Christ the merciful Lord of all(the pope) didn't allow it. The harlot was saved bc of the Lord's mercy to her
Is pope Francis a product of homosexuality? Ninga just nokwebuza amagyezi
“Yes it is a sin.”
, as Jesus would say, “go and sin no more”
Unbelievers may try to twist this!! A crime is against the law of society and a sin is an action against God Almighty. We as Christians are to show love to everyone regardless of who they are BUT! We are not to support their wrongs,we are not get involved,we are to preach to them
These are the satanic pope who don't read the bible but want humanbeing to believe them
Was it edited or real
He has to defend homosexuality because 95% of his priests are gay.
'God loves all his children just as they are'; I guess in Pontiff's eyes, the same goes for the pedophiles...
I knew this pope was a crook and a pedophile.
Pagans are trying to force a different meaning of the Pope's statement on Homosexuality. Just like Adultery and fornication, Homosexuality is a sin but not a crime. The pope is just copying Jesus's teachings by accepting sinners to the church for them to learn and seek salvation
Pope Francis is the antichrist, a false prophet, a liar, and a deceiver. He is against the teachings of Jesus Christ and does not follow the Word of God. He will take the word out of context to deceive people. He must be excommunicated. Homosexuality is sin and abominable to God.
Pope's lookin' like his cholesterol is high.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Numbers must be dwindling again! You con men and your past policies are SICK. Look at all the people you destroyed over your “rules”.
This man is so evil.
Its because he does not serve God.
I mean. This is the exact opposite of Catholicism
Pope Francis is the antichrist, a false prophet, a liar, and a deceiver. He is against the teachings of Jesus Christ and does not follow the Word of God. He will take the word out of context to deceive people. Therefore, he must be excommunicated.
Being right with God and with the devil, raising aberrations deviations are destroying society, sin is by action or omission, values and principles are not negotiated. until when society will allow itself to be guided by madmen.! god the father have mercy on us... please 🙏
Considering about 1/3 of his employees are lgbtq, they probably should be more accepting.
SamBarber1910 🇻🇦🏳️🌈
still kinda giving mixed messages here... but a good step forward... 🤨🙄✨👍
This is how reports news; and it has been like this since! The Pope said “homosexuality is a SIN but not a crime”. Since the Bible says the reward to a sin is DEATH, if the homosexuals fail to repent; their father in heaven will never be happy with them! KenRoth too!
Evil
But playing with little boy winers is still cool
$$$$$$$
satan will never be comfortable in church unless the church removes God that way it will be very possible for the bishops and pastors to embrace him. so its a mater of choice God or satan?
...... but it is a sin no matter what.
Francis is an apostate, heretic! Here’s what God says about homosexuality and sin - Romans, Chapter 1:18-32, and again in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 6:9-10. His condemnation couldn’t be made any clearer. If that bothers you, take it up with Him.
Blaspheme
“Let’s make a distinction between a crime and a sin” Thats… probably the most progressive thing we can expect out of the church for the next decade or two
This pedo
LGBTQ should be allowed into the church (not in leadership positions) to hear the Word of God taught in its entirety. God loves each of us, even when we are in sin. Jesus always enbraced the sinner, after delivering them and healing them, he told them “go and sin now more.”
Church isn't an assembly for people living in sin, church is the assembly of believers who have repented of their sins. They come together to strengthen one another. We don't go to church to repent, we repent to go to church. LGBT MUST repent first to be accepted in church
Hell half of the RC’s clergy are gay.
kingkat77 Just one of the many reasons I’m not catholic
Desultory effort, contrived. Your desperation is all too transparent. Attendance is WAY down (virtually non-existent in US), it's time to come up with a new strategy. *See Protestant sects posting rainbow flags; blm stickers on their lawns and windows. Lack of income stream.
atrupar God bless this man. Hating in the name of religion is the opposite of holy.
Not all sins are crimes, and not all crimes are sins.
He leads a cult that has done horrible crimes against humanity for thousands of years.
Pope's on some things
Martin Luther was right.
Francis is the Antichrist.
This indicates the corruption of the Christian religion and that it distorts the heavenly religions. The normal human mind does not accept such societies that distort human nature.Recognizing it proves that Christianity has been subjected to the greatest distortion in its history
Nobody really cares.
MarilynCapps11 I’m so thankful that he is encouraging the church to welcome all of God’s children 🙏🏼
I thought god made no mistakes.
If there is a god and there is not. But why did he make lgbtq if it were a sin?
🙏🏼
That's not the God of the bible...
“Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.” Romans 1:28 NLT
Then turned around and called them a sin. WTF?
I love Pope Francis but I fear for his safety now because he’s going against the establishment. Everyone needs to watch out for him because he could suddenly die “mysteriously” and that’s what I’m afraid of...🙏
They must be running low on Alter Boys to molest.
atrupar Boy, Fox News will have a hard time with this! All I have to say, It's about time!
Worst Pope in a long time. Sad.
Just change your religion to Buddhism. All of anti humanity things which the Bible made are going to be solved. Happy Life World Peace.
Great job, Frank! But it’s not enough. Keep going.
A compassionate pope is a very good pope.
Disgusting degenerate pope
Wow then he needs to read the Bible because God said homosexuality is an abomination so if he says it's an abomination then he doesn't love his children for the way they are but he does cover up pedophilia so
No. God doesn't love us just as we are. He loves us in spite of how we are and loves us too much to leave us the way we are.
He shouldn't have to give a Pontiff direction. They should just do it because it's the right thing to do.
They're losing members because nobody wants to belong to the Catholic Church any longer. Somebody's got to tithe a chunk of their wages to keep the Bishops and Pope in the style to which they have become accustomed.
***ALERT***By not following The Bible, he just effectively abdicated the papacy. As of now...there is no pope!!!
This man is the 👹
.Pontifex Peccatum est Peccatum in Oculis Dei. Patet Biblia de Peccato. Romanos 1:27 The Dark Trinity in America EXPOSED // Jonathan_Cahn PROPHETIC WORD
He did not said it was a sin, he quoted those who said is a sin, the English AP translation is wrong.
I'm trying to understand what part of the Bible OT and the NT that flat out says that say 'God is ok' with anything not pleasing to Him?
What the fuck
God bless you Pope Francis ! Il dolce Cristo in terra ! Thank you for showing the loving face of God to those sick with hate and homophobia
According to God Homosexuality is a sin. Its against the laws of nature and the plan of God.
savedemocracy18 Who needs the Pope to tell us that?
Catholic church must must not be making enough in donations these day maybe ... 🤷
Where is it a crime?
It looks like a funeral.
Does he think he is representing God and teachings in the Bible ?
antichrist
So the Pope is contradicting God's word (Bible)? Now I know why my wife and I left the Catholic religion a long time ago. We always knew he was protecting the child molesting PRIESTS (Minor Attracted Persons - Pedos) . DISGUSTING!
HeatherThomasAF Why would you leave out where he added that homosexuality is still a sin though. It should not be considered a punishable crime but it is still a sinful act. How can a gay person of faith find any comfort in this? F that love the sinner but hate the sin BS. It’s old.
The pope is just an ordinary man and I disagree with his ideas on this matter, I believe in God and the holy bible. I pray he retraces his steps
That’s why everyone is leaving Christianity because even the things that are literally against your religion, you don’t even hold firm to it. Lost religion and the only true religion in this walking earth is Islam were we don’t bend over for anyone!
note surprised, after all the Vatican knowingly allowed and accepted pedos in the clergy
CatholicLeague u in ur feels now?
Priests need to stop committing sex crimes against kids which the church covers up. It still happens, despite their whining that they're 'doing better.' Just this week, the American confessor to the Princess of Monaco was arrested for possessing child sex abuse images.
Homosexuality is a crime and a sin
He was right in speaking out. Gods call is to love all people. Judging is for God not man.
When the head of the church is not following Scripture, might be time for a schism. Behavior & lifestyle choice not in keeping with Christian moral values. Blatantly turn their backs on the Bible why need to be in the church? to destroy. Francis with One World Order folks.
You are one of the lucifers agent .mariage is holly and your homosexuality is a very evil sheet . Continue lying the world and remember the gudgment day is coming for you and is whenwe shallknow that you are a real lucifer .in jesus name
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 the devil works through powerful people!
Until you are born again with the Holy Spirit living inside of you, you are a child of the devil & an enemy of God.
Pathetic
It is not a crime, but a sin.
Leviticus 18:22 a male who lays with a male sexually a woman that lays with a woman sexually is an abomination in my eye.
This man is a son of satan
Where I live.. in La Plata, Argentina, everyone knows the pope is homosexual. He likes young and muscular men, by the way.
Maybe he doesn't want 50% of the clergy to go to jail (sarcasm). Christ has the power to restore men/women to sexual fullness. To do this people must repent! The homosexual lifestyle does not lead to holiness. Christians must not give in to what amounts to a strong delusion.
He has been paid off by elites 🤣🤣🤣🤡 catholic religion first domino caused by this old geezer
Yes, Jesus loves the person but hates the sin. The wages of sin is death, but the gift from God is eternal life through Jesus. This man will have blood on his hands.
The anti christ speaks
Next, this wicked man will say being a pedophile is not a crime. 🤦🏾♂️
He said its not a crime but it's a sin and lets please focus on those words
Not the Catholic Church I grew up in READ YOUR BIBLES
Disgusting old scum
Our Lord does welcome everyone that does not mean the perversion of the world should not be pointed out. Sin is still sin, even when you want to close your eyes to it.
What in Gods name is happening? Lord please save us all.
All people are welcome in the Church. All sin should be discouraged.
Bishopoftyler
One step forward, one step back. This is an incredibly unhealthy statement to make. Name one endeavor undertaken by the Catholic Church that hasn't resulted in mass casualties. That's the true sin here. PopeFrancis
The ones that have contributed the most in demonizing the LGBTQ community now thinks they can practice acceptance,get bent pope
That’s an evil man is all I am saying.
This is why Christians don't give Credence to This Pope.
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
Read Romans 1 and get back to me. Welcome them into the church by pointing out their sin and need for a savior. But he wants to keep them in sin. Unreal.
He’s Satan’s son.
They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
atrupar DeSantis, a Catholic, aka Mr. Don’t Say Gay will not be happy with this.
The pope is satan
NotMyPope
With his boy lover symbols
pedos will say that...
Not impressed he still calls it a sin though.
Looks like people in the comment section doesn't know that 'crime' and 'sin' is the same thing. So he don't support the LGBTQ+ community.
It's time to read and search Islam
New Bible interpretations. Oh boy!
Dude will never lead you to Jesus
They don't wanna miss out on a potential member
Is the pope a homosexual?
Good thing the Pope isn’t a real authority. The word of God says homosexuality is sinful and wrong, and thus we cannot accept it, despite whatever this man might say
Then the pope must let Priests and Nuns marry
As a muslim ,i just say all of this is : 🧢 Don't let the old Popes catch you in the street!
atrupar Vs the rest of the shit christian religions, that have turned church into a rock concert before they ask for money
we are living the apocalypse day by day now and look what this man is talking about 😂😂 plagues, natural disasters, world hunger.. verge of war i mean 💀
atrupar Guaranteed to enrage American bishops.
This pope is a disgrace.
Blockhead.
Glad to hear it. Sad that so many people still believe such insane fantasies.
Well this is because Pope Francis is the false prophet.
He needs to read the Bible
atrupar The LGBTQ community don’t give a fuck what the church thinks.
Everyone is welcome.., but it is NEVER love to condone a person in a lifestyle of sin and darkness True love invites them to a life with Christ
Next pope should be a homosexual then!
what does he say about molesting little Boys?
atrupar
Both the Quran and the real Bible rejected Homosexuals and LGBT practices!!!
religion was one of god's worst mistakes
You don't need god to exist for you to be a good person. Stop making excuses for bad behavior because of some magical divine being. It's a adolescent farcical concept that has no place in modern times. Stop making excuses for what 'god wants' and start explaining what YOU want.
The Catholic Church is just taking its mask off. It’s always been about the Catholic Church and not God.
This guy is no Christian but a succesful, Satanist infiltrator. In other words,the Church is captured.
Even the guy in the dress and funny hat acknowledges that haters are wrong.
It’s a sin to be homosexuality
atrupar Woke! Woke! Woke! The pope is woke! Next thing ya know they will embrace the pride flag.
He is the reason I left the Catholic Church after 60 years.
'God loves all his children just as they are' That's not even true for heterosexual people. God loves all of us but he does not love our sin and if we continue to sin, God most certainly doesn't love us for who we are.
God loves people just the way he made them, not how the LGBTQ+++ groomers/recruiters want to change them.
This guy is EVIL
You failed to mention that the pope also has preached same sex acts are a sin
He needs to be removed immediately
Love the person 💕 hate the sin!
He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son has not life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
Good
Is this the pope !
This is a socially swayed “pope”
May God bless you 🙏
The Pope is infallible Act accordingly, Bishops
I despise this deceptive saboteur. Why is our hierarchy evil reetyrrds?
So this is the DEMON pope Benedict XVI was taking about.
Abomination,the WORD never changes
Coming from the people who molest boys
Now you know that they are not on God's side it's happened before read the Bible
this man isn't a catholic it's a devil in sheep's clothes.
The pope is irrelevant
Yeaaaa the catholic church has lost the plot. Completely just conforming to whatever is popular in the world, forgetting the bible.
JustinTHaskins That ideology fed the fire of priests abusing children. One would think that the Catholic Church would have learned something from their crimes.
Probably a set up to introduce an argument that pedophilia is a sin, but shouldn't not be considered a crime. They are the same, sick debauchery
😈😈😈😈😈
Satan has taken over the Vatican.
Uh huh. Dear Pope...What about Leviticus 18?
I am a Catholic but am not subscribing to what this man of God is saying ,He needs to go and confess
It would be awesome if the Pontifex was actually Catholic
Sin is sin. I'm a Catholic but I don't agree with the Pope. Racism is very wrong and you don't talk about it
Acts !!! of homosexuality are sins
Men of female orientation and women of male orientation exist! Let not the devil instigate harm just because those ignorant of the facts fail to deal with the reality that souls do not have the issue unless they are born into human form and things do not perfectly match the norm!
It hurts a lot whenever I see people in a congregation being feed with the doctrines of Catholicism which drags them to hell! Catholic is the devil's most successful assault against the Church. It was mean to kill Christianity from within. It's a Cancer in the body of CHRIST
Devil’s advocate
Das der Antichrist sowas propagiert ist ja wohl klar, nicht wahr. 😉
The Catholic Church has made great advances in Doctrine but, they need to stop meddling in Politics and respect the separation of Church and State.
Honestly, Pope Francis is probably going to be the closest we'll get to a cool Pope who doesn't give a shit about who you are and what you're into.
It's about time!!!
The bishops are plotting against him openly cuz “conservative.”
You see the problem is, the same Catholics and protestants came to Africa and taugt us that LGBTQ is a sin. Now they want to tell us it's not. So what's up?
And his views on child molestation and grooming among his clergy?
Papal apostasy
Taking all bets, which is stronger: Catholic's reverence for the Pope? Or their hatred?
its not a sin either.
JustinTHaskins How will the Vatican deal with the kind of statements that so directly challenge the media narrative?
JustinTHaskins Uh... according to the Bible it is not only a crime, it is one that will get you executed. Catholics, you need to get a handle on your guy, he's making you look heretical.
The Bible does list it as an abomination. Sodom/Gomorrah were destroyed for it. Bible does not list it as a 'crime' the Pope is in danger of misrepresenting God's word. There are punishments for that. Being gay is not one of the 10 commandments and we should all love each other.
WTF
Antichrist
Jesus facetimes me yesterday and said he aint cool with pope no more. God Wrath’s is coming soon
TaylorRMarshall What is this. Your thoughts
Looks like the Catholic Church needs some more money.
The creepy factor is off the charts with this one…
Well it is obvious to see and know that the pope is the head of this devilish agenda, Vatican City is the seats of blood sucking demons!
Is the Pope Catholic?
Does Pope follow bible and if he does where in Bible homosexuality is permitted?
Live look at “Pope Dungy” upon hearing the news.
Now I believe it time for him to update the bible to concur with his statement. There no room for mediocrity in the church of God.
Did this Pope ever promote locking up gay people
Liquidate the catholic cult.
Love ❤️ is love
ITS ABOMINATION OF SIN AND MARRIAGE PROMOTES THE ACT OF INTERCOURSE BETWEEN 2 MEN. I SAY AGAIN MARRIAGE AND THE UNION OF BODIES IS TO BE NOW AND FOR ALL TIME BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN. I DISAGREE WITH POPE FRANCIS AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THIS ISSUE. GOD BLESS.
Good. Its about time the church dragged themselves out of the dark ages.
I actually admire this Pope. This is huge.
Of course the Pope is saying this as churches are seeing less and less attendance. What's next - rallying behind pedophiles? The church will do whatever will bring it more money. It doesn't care about it's members.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient
Romans 1:27-28 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
The Bible only describes 2 ways of being 'God's Children' which are 1. Being a biological or literal child 2. Being born again through Christ Jesus who is the Son of God (John 14:6). The Bible is clear about the difference between being God's children & being God's creation.
He's pro homosexuality...fine. Is he pro-Paedophilia though ?
This idea of sin only applies to those that practice the given religion that holds a concept of sin. I don’t need an ancient book that’s been mistranslated hundreds of times and been edited to fit a specific narrative to tell me how to have morals 🤷🏻
Ap missed the part where Frank still says homosexuality is still a sin, thereby affirming church teaching.
When you serve Satan what do you expect!
All are welcome in a real church. Never do we have to align with, or support perversion.
Pontifex is it contrary to natural law? Asking for Darwin and Saint Thomas Aquinas.
Does the pope have a girlfriend? boyfriend?
There's versus in the bible that are against gay lifestyles and now the church is changing there own rules! How real is religion? And how much of it is based solely on power and money just like government! Should be fxxking embarrassed!
Pope Francis is right that homosexuality is not a crime. Pope Francis is wrong. Homosexuality is NOT a sin. It’s okay to be gay, and it’s okay to be transgender. You’re normal and valid.
Love is never a sin between 2 consenting adults.
Pope Pedo.
Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13
BS. Catholic Church is filled wit PEDOPHILES! They are all sinners forcing sex on children! Homosexual men who make love with other consenting men are not sinners nor criminals. They are loving people.
And 1000 more Catholics became Orthodox. Thanks, Frank!
And they wonder why the church gets smaller
What's his views on abortion laws?
Bc secular laws shouldn’t rely on religious doctrine to govern the masses. It’s not as controversial as people make it out to be. We have seen repeatedly in history and in the present day how politics & religion is dangerous and restrictive of freedoms
Gotta love Pope Francis. He's really trying to bring the Catholic Church into the 21st Century.
This Pope is turning the Vatican into a liberal cult ideology..
God created homosexuals so obviously being gay is NOT a sin.
🤢The Pope was once 'pop' - now, he is gay and the Vatican State Mafia Pederasts continue to hide their crimes against children, boys and girls, all over the world. (The ancient Roman Empire is alive and going strong).
kgriffin_1 Leviticus 18 :22 , Romans 1:24-27,32 . Jude 1:7 . 2nd Peter 2:1-13 . Genesis 19:1-29 ( Sodom story ) . No one can outsmart God , even this pope .
HEY This is the Church. This is your Pope. Live it, damn it. Live it.
Now ask how him and his buddies feel about being boy lovers… We’ll wait…
ANTI CHRIST
Unbelief is a sin, but not a crime.
This Pope has no problem coming to the rescue of the gay community yet apparently he is not concerned about the millions of Catholics like POTUS and SpeakerPelosi as well as others who bury their Catholicism just to promote abortion. That is a travesty.
This will piss the Conservative Republicans off.
He says it's a sin, so how grave of a sin is it in his opinion? What's the punishment in the afterlife going to be. As the vicar of Christ on earth, he ought to tell us, no?
You still going to leave out his point that the activity is still a sin? He is calling those engaged in sin to stop.
What a flip flop... See once again they say one thing and do another...
Recovering Catholic here. The church must be getting low on donations so they’re changing the rules. CatholicTwitter
Now you understand why Priests rape and sodomize young boys
This is crazy
He should read leviticus 20 vs 13
Pontifex a good man.He is so right the Catholic Church should be more welcoming to the LGBTQ community being part of the church Love kindness GodLovesAllHisChildren ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
But pedophilia is one. Take care of your onions first before taking care of other people's asses.
So, an unmarried pregnant man can be baptized by the catholic church, now?
He’s supposed to be the voice of God for the church. If he wants the church to accept gay people he can change the rules himself any time.
♥️
2021 2022 + 2023 = 6 66 Jesus está voltando, não tem outra explicação
He’s prob a pedophile
Conservatives don't care and won't listen to him. They're not driven by love but rather vengefulness.
They worship false God
Is this a way to try to get more people into the church, or is pedophilia next on the 'it's okay now' list so he can absolve his priests?
I love when Catholics find “God’s representative on Earth” as being too liberal. Maybe they are not Catholic if they can’t follow “the voice of God”.
The antipope.
The Pope stopped reading the Bible.
Good, if you think God hates gays you're in a cult.
Glad to see him speak his truth now that the old nazi has been buried.
This dude still alive?
All sinners should indeed be welcomed into Christ’s church. But the church should never condone or promote sinning.
That's the reason christianity is eroding! If you don't oppose anything you stand for nothing, your presence doesn't mean anything if you sacrifice your stance to please other!
The Holy Father is correct. Homosexuality should not be criminalized. They should be called home to the Church. Acting upon their homosexuality, however, has eternal consequences which Holy Father understands. That’s why they need to come “home” for Confession.
To truly accept people without any prejudice at all, I feel is a near impossibility for most humans. Maybe God is real and that is his one true power. Because to me that would be more powerful than some stupid miracle and the one thing people can never actually obtain.
Does the current Pope believe that we should sin unrepentantly?
This reminds me of when he said he'd back gay families and shortly following he reminded us the church doesn't honor gay marriage. I stopped trusting him/them after that. Once it's lost, trust is hard to regain. The Christian church lies about so much that it's disgusting.
wat a disgusting preacher, u are godly but u accept this nonsense, shame on u with yo christian faith
Sorry to bring it up again, the unspeakable, but if they could list rape as a sin…
Yes, now due to dwindling congregation numbers, concern for diminished church donations, and the fact that a large proportion of it’s clergy are gay, the Catholic Church is now starting to change it’s tune.
Well, that’s certainly a long overdue statement.
Finally and it’s late
Unjust? And the church is against polygamy. Even without wedding you can't receive Holy Eucharist? Hypocrisy
How about unborn people? Pope didn’t have the nerve to confront Biden or Pelosi when they showed up to flaunt their abortion stance.
Fake Catholics & Christians will storm the Vatican to overturn this Pope.
For all you dummies taking this political- there are hundreds of ridiculous sounding sins in the bible- like dont cut your hair. The pope is just saying, “its not your job to judge or hate others, they deserve to be a part of the church community too.”
Solo pido que a este Papa lo protejan, es el único que en tantos años defiende a una minoría.
This is why God is going to burn us again
heretic
soledadobrien Kind a hard to criticize homosexuality when a good chunk of your priests are child molesters…catholismisntchristianity
RepTenney RepWilliams RepStefanik
I guess that since the Rat Pope died, he can say more of what’s on his mind without fear of the bite from closeted/angry/bitter/alcoholic men who are supposed to be celibate but aren’t.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
will the church pay restitution to the millions of others they’ve permanently damaged with their false judgments?
The LGBTQ community must be celebrating pope's utterances and they now believe that very soon the Vatican will come out and support them.
THAT IS THE TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST Not this bogus hateful mess too many believe today. We are ALL God's Children, and NO ONE is to judge another for you too have sins of the Lord, the flesh and of greed.
FarnoushAmiri I’m gonna tell my kids this was Chuck Schumer
Pope Francis is not working for GOD, he has derailed from the truth(Gospel). He is currently a politician for the west.
You people never fallowed the God . And never will get honor of human being. The bible is clear about it.
Churches want the money. Not the people and their baggage.
Donations must be down. 🤣
Tell me your fake charity is not making as much money as it used to without telling me
God loves all queer forms but no heaven,?
Someone make sure nothing bad happens to him, I’m not religious but his views may not be popular with hardline Catholics. Best words for this man to speak.
💗
Should have asked him about pedophilia
B.s! Don't you fallow your holy book the bible?
God of d Bible has criminalized Homosexuality, punishable with death. To speak contrary of God of d Bible is depravity of human mind Dos who demselves r guilty of sexual sins including addiction to porn n sexual encounters with minors promote LGBTQIA Catholicism is of d Devil
What about polygamy that is actually practiced in the Bible , shouldn’t it be decriminalized first on the west ?
I've got no horse in this race, but shouldn't he be commenting on it as a sin? The papal hasn't enacted laws for awhile now.
$$$$$$. The entire premise is so contrived. I’m over it.
Please be certain the haters on our not really supreme court hear this.
Well, that tells us what he will do about curing the priesthood's number one PR problem... Has he spoken out about anti-abortion laws, yet ?
LGBTQIA2S+
The pope is so fucking woke
Gotta pump up those membership numbers. Still, good for him for saying it.
❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️
God hates the sin, not the sinner. Why am I correcting the pope here? What's going on? Ah yes, the Church is being destroyed from the inside out.
Lubagacathedral Sunday service should be interesting
Bless this man
Welcome lgbt people not LGBT
Trumpers won’t like that
Keeping in mind that it was the Vatican that helped the Nazis escape after WW2. Just saying...👍
Excuse me but here in America can the Catholics still fear and hate gays and try to legislatively make their lives a living hell?
I don’t think the pope has influence over laws in Muslim countries. So what was the point?
Agree. He needs to show the translation errors so that people stop hassling gays.
snowmanomics This literally popped into my timeline exactly while you were discussing this, ZerlinaMaxwell.
Why are you such a hater
Catholic priests have been secretly advocating it for years 🥲
So, this comes in the wake of Pope Benedict's latest posthumous book release. Not surprising at all. Pope Francis llegitimatePope
candacecbure likes to reference 'traditional' marriage. TaraLeighCobble like's to do podcast interviews with candacecbure. Someone please tell these ladies who the Pope is.
