Pope Francis on Gays: Who am I to Judge? (CNN, lobby, Jesus)

[carterstamp]

Indeed, who is anyone to judge? Kudos to the Pontiff. People ask "what would Jesus do?" well, here's a hint:

"When I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of a lobby. If they accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them? They shouldn't be marginalized. The tendency (to homosexuality) is not the problem ... they're our brothers."

I really like this guy so far.

He may not be judging (as if anyone asked him to), but the Catholic church won't be marrying gays anytime soon. You can make book on that.

No, of course not, but it's a start.

it has been always a view in RCC to hate the sin, not the sinner

And if they DON'T accept the lord? If they still have goodwill but are atheists? What a crock.

I'm actually surprised that this hasn't been exploded (on city-data, at least) yet, as we know when someone mentions anything positive about homosexuals, anti-homosexuals get all butthurt.

Either way, very well said by the Pope indeed.

I don't trust the guy.

That's just my opinion.

I'm not a Catholic so what he has to say does not affect me.

He does wears fabulous drag, though. I did see him carrying a purse that was on fire, though.
