I think Pope Francis might be one of the great Popes in history.
At first glance, Pope Francis’ statement
on homosexuality, delivered today in an impromptu press conference
aboard the papal plane, seemed to indicate a remarkable break with
church tradition. “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and
has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis told journalists, as he flew
from Rio de Janeiro to Rome. “The tendency [to homosexuality] is not the problem … They’re our brothers.”
Wow, that is reversing quite a bit of the churches teaching. However, the church still says that homosexual acts are sins and does not support gay marriage. That seems about right but it is interesting to see this Pope say that gays are their brothers and he does not judge them.
