lacum: pls go and teach him how to speak because when Jesus spoke in parables u where there to tell him to speak straight. smh
God loves us inspite of our many sins. pls learn
. Jesus spoke in parables to d pharesies cos there hearts were hardened, but every parable he spoke, he took his disciples aside and explained it. The bible clearly commands those who commit such acts to be excomunicated. A little leaven leaveneth the who loaf

When diplomacy and politics is introduced in religion, there's bound to be insanity at the highest level.







I ain't a Catholic and will never be, but this pope obviously didn't know that there's a limit.



Pontiff sir, you goofed and God won't be happy with you, because homosexuality was why God destroyed soddom and gomorrah. May God forgive you.

And what about those that nailed our Lord and Saviour to the cross? Did they all repent even after he had forgiven them before He died?

Its too late Because there is Politics in all the Churches , even in Islam. We Nigerians have Locked ourselves in a cage where we believe the world is Ruled by Man not GOD/ALLAH, thats why we are in this current position while others are moving forward. All we are best at now is Judging. What a shame.

Samuelfriday: I think we are all loosing it let's call a spade a spade ok , i think it high time we start telling ourselves the truth the act is against the law of God dat is why he made man and woman, jus incase we have forgotten God destoy d land of sudom and gomorah for dis same offence, i tink my take on dis is d pope shud state clearly for better undertsanding what is evil from what is bad as some one said earlier nobody is asking anybody to jugde but @ list some word against such act can save some souls.
what are u sayin for Gods sake? are u sayin dat d human being God made is bad or what? i only read dat the pope didnt condemn gay people but not gay(the act).

Pygru: The Pope's position on gay people appears to contrast with that of his predecessors.

Pope Francis has said gay people should not be judged or marginalised.
Speaking to reporters on a flight back from Brazil, he said: "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?"
The Pope's remarks are being seen as much more conciliatory than his predecessor's position on the issue.
Turning to the issue of women priests, he said the Church had spoken and had said"no", but the role of women should not be restricted.
"We cannot limit the role of women in the Church to altar girls or the president of a charity, there must be more," he said in a wide-ranging interview with Vatican journalists.
Five months after he took over from Pope Benedict, he said gay people should be fully accepted in society.
""The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well," Pope Francis said.
"It says they should not be marginalised because of this but that they must be integrated into society."
But he condemned what he described as lobbying by gay people.
"The problem is not having this orientation," he said. "We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this orientation, or lobbies of greedy people, political lobbies, Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worse problem."

So because He wishes for the Gay to come to Church he is one of them Now. Tell me brother how do you Know if a man is Gay. Don't be surprised if the next man sitting beside yu tommorow or after is Gay. Its Hard to differ especially Blacks who prefer hiding in The shadows unlike the Oyinbos who have the courage to come out to public.

In as much as I detest the pope's statement, in way its true who are we to judge homosexuals, let us leave them to God!! (But finally to hell with all of them) yuck!
Re: Pope Francis: Who Am I To Judge Gay People? by mascot87(m): 6:17pm On Jul 29, 2013
Remember Matt 10:5 when Jesus sent out the twelve apostles,he said do not go to any Gentile territory or any Samaritan town but they should go to the lost sheep of the people of Israel meaning the sinners and not Holy Gentile/Samaritan people like nairalanders that judge and condemn people cos dey believe they are pure, clean and spotless without any sin. If you are to tell people that what they are doing is wrong, is the best way of doing that is to condemn and crucify them? will they listen to you if you do that?

andyallor: i agree with the pope. fact like it or not homosexualism is here to stay, and according to d black americans 'its the new black'. theres nofin we straight pple can do but pray 4 them (the homos) and being a homo doesnt make u less of a human. live and let live. shikena

Y'know, at the risk of soundin' like some peeps carping "end time tingz" on NL, pls remember, God told us in the Bible that the end will be "like the days of Noah".

What do those days as recorded have in common with the days we now live in?

Sin had become acceptable, the "in" thing, and even worse, we who call ourselves good people or "straight" (meaning homos are bent or skewed) are so snug in our conceit that we don't realise we're just as bad!!

What am I saying? To all who care to listen: sin no get grade!!

From the occasional "fibber" to the gay to the serial killer, we're all on the same level. We all need help!

So, Lady, pray for yourself, too!!
