I don't blame the pope because truly he can't judge them due to the fact the he ain't God bt where i quote him wrong was when he said''once they seek the face of God almighty and do his good will'' |

It's funny to me that Africans are STILL celebrating backwardness in 2013. Replace the word "gay" with African colonies (how DARE anyone say those little savages should have freedom), with women (how dare anyone say women should vote, or have jobs in society), with slavery, etc, etc. Discrimination against people that are NOT hurting you is wrong, period. It is actually disgusting and against the entire point of religion. Who can claim to be following in the footsteps of Christ while hating his neighbor? And let's not get started on polygamy, which is celebrated all over Africa. Have you ever asked yourself what happens to the extra men in those cultures? The birth rate is always equal between men and women, so when a man takes multiple wives, it means that some men won't be able to get married. In older times, these extra men where killed. Just like the boy Okonkwo adopted in Things Fall Apart. What Achebe didn't write was that the "priest" wanted that boy chopped down because there weren't enough women to go around and he was becoming a man. Today, we have Hausas kicking their excess men out of the home, and they become homeless, criminals, terrorists, and every other bad thing. This is much WORSE than gay marriage. So lets focus on the right problems. |

fedimol: Jesus loved the sinners and hated the sin. I guess that's what he's trying to say. As for me though, I'm still anti-gay. You know coining words is actually a sign of psychiatric illness, Google psychiatric neologism. 1 Like |

This is very wrong my dear pope,do not compromise God's laws and remember God destroyed Sodom and Gommorah because of Homosexuality and now the pope is saying we should accept that as a normal way of life,please the pope should know that he is a mere mortal and the Lord God has said it that judgement will start from his church, Let him not be like Eli that refused to caution his children,God is merciful and also a consuming fire.[i][/i] Pygru: The Pope's position on gay people appears to contrast with that of his predecessors. |

Wsdm: Mr. Pope, you are not to rule base on your volition. Tell us what the Bible says about this, simple. Must you all be controlled by western idiocy? Christianity is making itself two porous. Can u please go back to the report and read it again; this time read it slowly instead of just commenting based on the topic of the thread. To save u the stress of re-reading (that's if u even read it in the first place), the pope has simply said that 'sinners' should not be judged but should be allowed to come to church and not be ostracized. He however states very clearly that he is against the 'lobbyists' who are on a campaign to make it look like being gay is right. Can u please now tell us what the pope has said that is against bible teachings or the teachings of Christ? |

mascot87: I am very sure most nairalanders would misinterpret what the pope is trying to insinuate cos of lack of wisdom understanding his simple statement.Already I am seeing some bigoted illiterates making statements that makes me wonder why some ignoramus bigocony continue to reason with there nose rather than calming down, digest and think deeply on what the Pope is trying to say using there brains.Please dont' insult people yet. There are ways to pass a message to please God not minding what the crowed or world is saying ! I love my child and that is why i advise,correct and some times discipline him when ever he errs. I do it out of love for who God loves HE chastises.Hebrew 12:6''F[b]or the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child."[/b] To let your gay children alone without correction is hatred of the highest ranking ! Ofcourse,who are we to judge ! But to correct does not in any way mean passing judgement. Please see below the case of Radwanska the tennis player who featured nude for ESPN body shoot 2013 and what the catholic church has to say about her as a roman Catholic in one of the parishes in poland: "It's a shame that someone who has declared their love for Jesus is now promoting the mentality of men looking at a woman as a thing rather than a child of God worthy of respect and love," senior Catholic priest Father Marek Dziewiecki told Polish media. Unsurprisingly, the Catholic Church was not too thrilled about her actions. Radwanska, 24, had been working with Krucjata Mlodych, a Polish Catholic "Youth Crusade," as an ambassador for the group. After her photo shoot for ESPN, however, that relationship has now dissolved. Now my question is,why didn't the church leave her there as their youth Crusade group ambassador since it is very evident that she has 'declared for Jesus' and the church ? If i'm to go by the words of the pope,Radwanska was marginalized in this sense ! Pls custodians of the word of God,don't water the word for more membership or more Benjamins ! Say the truth always and leave God to judge. There is nothing like gay Christian as in accepting the practice and accepting Christ. But we can have a 'gay christian'as in one with the tendencies or urges who struggles with it and want's to come out of it just like some of us struggling Christians who still fall into the sin of adultery,fornication,masturbation,greed,covetousness,drunkenness and the likes.If any 'man of God like the pope'wishes sinners well,he should condemn our negative urges not condemn us but should not make us feel as if these neagatives are positives in the sight of God.Any one who do this,contradicts the scripture and will be likened as an agent of the devil. My catholic friends,i know that the papacy is infallible, the pope can never be wrong but let us study the word to see how Christ loved sinners. A closing example was the adulterous woman who Jesus did not judge and condemned rather had compassion on but left her with a closing word;''GO HOME AND SIN NO MORE'' Jesus corrected her by letting her know that she should not continue in adultery. Pls pope francis,i am GAY tell me it's against the word of God but God loves me but doesn't want me to continue in such practices. God bless us all 3 Likes |

He is quite right, who are we all to judge anyone? Jesus preached peace, love but it's obvious from comments of so called Christians that Christ's teachings have taken the back seat to violent, die by fire, vigilante doctrines...to love is hard to hate too easy... |

The Pope just declared his support for homosexuality & you are here trying to justify him because of your belief in the perfect doctrine of the Catholic church. Call a spade a spade. Well, I believe that when they finally approve gay marriage as they have been planning, the African Catholic will do the right thing like their Anglican counterparts. 3 Likes |

Why I don't always agree with the catholic priests, they only follow traditions of men, logic, philosophy and they never search through the scriptures to say GOD's position on any matter. POPE stop deceiving the MASSES, Holy Mary will not pray for you. |

obailala:Your post is hypocritical. Your post just openly supported homosexuality & you are trying to justify him because the bible says, "we shall not judge". Call a spade a spade. To condemn homosexual act is not to judge those indulging in it. Well, you will still defend him when he finally approve gay marriage. 1 Like |
