Pope Francis Advocates Support For LGBT Community!
"I think that the Church not only should apologize ... to a gay person whom it offended, but it must also apologize to the poor as well, to the women who have been exploited, to children who have been exploited by [being forced to] work. It must apologize for having blessed so many weapons." These were the words of Pope Francis on a flight from a visit to Armenia recently.
Pope Francis said this while answering questions from a reporter about a similar remark made by a German cardinal on an apology to gay people, on his flight back to Rome. The Pontiff reminded journalists that Christianity teaches that gays “should not be discriminated against. They should be respected, accompanied pastorally.”
He added that the Church was “turning a blind eye” to child labor and should apologize for “blessing”weapons. "The questions is: if a person who has that condition, who has good will, and who looks for God, who are we to judge?” he reiterated.
...“We Christians have to apologize for so many things, not just for this [treatment of gays], but we must ask for forgiveness, not just apologize! Forgiveness! Lord, it is a word we forget so often!”
Despite the Pope's believes there is no continuing bases for marginalization in the modern world as some cultures take some demonstrations of homosexuality to be“offensive.
