Elton John Praises Pope Francis, Honors Andrew Cuomo at AIDS Foundation Benefit
Elton you misunderstood. Here is what the Pope said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" And a writer for Slate says people need to slow down on this story. Pope Francis ISN'T supporting gay rights and media outlets has it all wrong. "The pope’s words are calculated, precise and unforgiving. Same-sex families are not legitimate in the eyes of the Vatican. In the Catholic Church, gays — being humans — have inherent human rights. Gay rights, however, are not human rights." I think one of the statements that's most confusing is the Church doesn't condemn homosexuals but does condemn homosexual activity! This doesn't make sense to me! I think the Church has room for and welcomes those who are struggling with the temptation of homosexuality! But for the protection of the Saints and the good of the persons themselves, the Church has no room for those who, instead of repenting of homosexuality, wish it to become an acceptable behavior in the society of the Saints. They are wolves in sheep's clothing, preaching meekness while attempting to devour the flock.
