Despite the bible condemning Homosexuality in Leviticus 18:22, 'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.'(NIV version), the leader of the Roman Catholic church Pope Francis has made some controversial statements saying that the Roman catholic church should apologize to gays for offending them.

While on a press conference aboard the Papal Plane on his way from Armenia, Pope Francis responded to a question from a journalist about a German Cardinal who said the Catholic Church should apologize for being "very negative" about gays.
The Pope was also asked, by the same journalist, whether Christians bear some blame for hatred toward the LGBT community, as horrifically demonstrated in the Orlando massacre at a gay night club that killed 49 people on June 12.


"I repeat what the Catechism of the Catholic Church says: that they must not be discriminated against, that they must be respected and accompanied pastorally,"

"The Church must ask forgiveness for not behaving many times -- when I say the Church, I mean Christians! The Church is holy, we are sinners!"

"I believe that the church not only should apologize to the person who is gay whom it has offended," he added, "but has to apologize to the poor, to exploited women, to children exploited for labor; it has to ask forgiveness for having blessed many weapons."

"One can condemn, but not for theological reasons, but for reasons of political behavior...Certain manifestations are a bit too offensive for others, no?
"But these are things that have nothing to do with the problem. The problem is a person that has a condition, that has good will and who seeks God, who are we to judge? And we must accompany them well."

He told reporters on the plane "there are traditions in some countries, some cultures, that have a different mentality about this question (homosexuals)" and there are "some (gay) demonstrations that are too offensive for some".

The pope did not elaborate on what he meant by seeking forgiveness for the Church "having blessed so many weapons", but it appeared to be a reference to some Churchmen who actively backed wars in the past.

Jesus didn't appologise to the Pharisees, Saducees and Sanhendrines! Instead, he pronounced ''woe'' on them. And Apostle Paul said Christians should not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers....think about this!

Gracias papal.....
We will know how to go about it...

Apologize OMG!!! This Pope don dey bow to pressure...

WTF

No Pope. Instead, Roman Catholic should apologise to Christians for infesting the world with Gay life. Remove Celibacy, allow your Priests to marry and Christians all over shall have Peace and be content, for Discipline, with the laws of Adultery and Fornication. The memory of the cause of the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah shall also guide us. Please leave the KJV and The Vulgate Bibles as they are. No amendments to accommodate apologies to Gay please.

Lol...As usual the part where ask for forgiveness from the poor, the weak,the exploited for labour, blessing of GUNS USED IN CHURCH HOLY WARS e.t.c will be conveniently skipped and the main context of the message lost.

LordIsaac:

In other words Jesus supports wilful killing of unbelievers.Jesus supports the unnecessary constant hatred and death threats to gays. Jesus supports the exploitation of the weak and the poor for Church gains. Jesus supports the use of guns to fight holy wars against unbelievers.

This your Jesus would rather ask you to say Woe than I am sorry for unnecessary exploitations, death threat issuances and murders under the guise of christianity.

I'm not surprised! It also means you can kill an innocent human being who just happens to be gay or any other adjective that does not conform to your terms as a so called christian.
