Antipope Francis On "Gays": Who Am I To Judge Them?
www.huffingtonpost.com "Pope Francis has had a busy week at World Youth Day in Rio as he visited his slums and prisons, blessed the Olympic flag and brought three million people to Copacabana Beach for a final Mass on Sunday morning. Now he has made another headline, this time when the pontiff said, 'Who am I to judge a gay person?' While taking questions from reporters on the plane back to Rome, Francis spoke about gays and the reported 'gay lobby.' According to the Wall Street Journal, the Pope's comments about homosexuality came in the context of a question about gay priests.
John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter reported on the meeting as well and said the Pope also addressed the question of the Vatican's reported 'gay lobby'. Father James Martin, S.J. who is an admirer of Francis, said that the pontiff's comment about gay people is consistent with the rest of his papacy. The pope did not offer much hope for those advocating for women Catholic priests, according to Allen at NCR, saying: Pope John Paul II 'definitively … closed the door' to women priests.'
