There really isn’t anything new here. As a Catholic the only point I would argue is that “God made him that way.” I tend to lean towards the thinking that homosexuality is learned and chosen. Just my opinion.

But, like I said. Nothing really new here. God does love all. Gays are sinners just like me. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Who am I to judge?

Nobody on this earth has the right to judge.

Well since the basis for the subject was a gay priest who abused children I suppose no one cares.

I always appreciate your mature approach to these issues, Katzpur. I just wanted to put that out there.

What is being addressed here is that the pope is apparently accepting of gay people. What does your remark mean?

I have to remind myself that they are people, too.

Nice sentiment but not biblical. We are to be discerning on what we read, watch, and believe. We are not the one that decides what is an abomination, a great sin and what isn’t.

Tell me who is more caring. The one that tells you the truth about danger or the other that lets you walk right into a bear trap?

I can tell you who's got all the spirituality of a lizard.

And half the warmth.

And none of the charm.

More likely the false prophet is political in nature.
False clergy are the composite ' man of sin ' the ' son of destruction '( perdition) described at 2nd Thess. 2:2-8

So let me see if I’m reading you correctly ......... God hates homosexuals? Is that what you’re saying?

Hope you don’t live in a glass house.

Nobody on this earth has the right to judge.
We have No right to judge on personal preferences. We are Not to impute a bad or wrong motive to another.
But as far as what God judges as what is moral or not moral we do Not judge God's judgement but accept it.
So, anyone who is single is to refrain from fornication ( immorality ) whether straight or gay.
Jesus will soon come (Rev. 22:20) and straighten everything out for mankind.
