Pope Francis criticizes countries with anti-LGBTQ laws

In an interview with the Associated Press, Pope Francis criticized countries that criminalize homosexuality, saying “God loves us as we are.” The pontiff went on to attribute negative attitudes toward the LGBTQ community to cultural backgrounds and said bishops in particular need to undergo a process of change to recognize the dignity of everyone.

That's why I have boycotted the Catholic church. I can't follow a Church that doesn't follow the word of God. I just believe in God and his word not the Pope's word

[haileabmekuria]

Pop Francis, please let's not play this word games now. We've heard you loud and clear, sin represents every wrong things starting from thinking of it in our mind. I learned that personally growing up as a catholic.
I think every one should understand by now, It's not about religion anymore, it's time to open up our eyes. Whether we're with God or we're not. Simple as that.
No need to follow leaders of human, just walk with God, who created this safe place.

Im lucky to be a muslim. Dafuq is this. Bruh.

[TheJujujujujuujujuju]

I am a muslim and i really dissapointed.. he as the man of God should not really say something like this just to please others..

[abdulmaleksayed]

If it’s not a crime how come in the Bible it says any man who sleeps with another man shall be put to death?

[austinbevis]

This kind of stuff is why I’m personally not Catholic✌️

[ALLAHISENOUGHFORPALASTINE]

Christianity is Lost, Islam is the truth standing firm and strong

[oneashralph]

When the pope mocked his own beliefs. 😂

[paulrock]

This is the problem with any Church that does not put God's Word first. In the church itself, they will have different beliefs from row to row. No foundation, manmade truth, or as Apostle Paul says not knowing God's righteousness they go about and establish their own righteousness, not knowing that Jesus Christ (The Word) is the end of the law of righteousness.

They need to leave the children alone.

[jamesmullins]

Seems like he should be pointing out how those who choose to sin without repentance and the blood of Jesus (through baptism) to cleanse them will not see the kingdom of God. It’s the same for adulterers, liars, etc…which comes straight from God’s Word.

[dollfacey]

This man is truly sick! He definitely isn't feeling well and he's definitely no man of God!

[Mytake]

Every country has the rights to accept on not accept homosexuality. We have no rights to force them to accept or not accept

Leviticus 20:13
[13]If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination: let them be put to death. Their blood be upon them.

1 Kings 14:24
[24]There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people, whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.

1 Kings 15:12
[12]And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

2 Kings 23:7
[7]He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.

Romans 1:26-27
[26]For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
[27]And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
[9]Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers:
[10]Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God.

Jude 1:7
[7]As Sodom and Gomorrha and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

[TheSergioFam]

[--sly--]

Papacy, the true beast. They are trying to change God's law.

[sharoonhoney]

False Leader, because sin can never be justified

[nathanhutton]

If Pope Pius XII was still the pope, this never would have happened! People like Pope Francis make me distrust the Vatican, and the Catholic Church in general. You know your Church has problems, when the Pope is in blatant violation of both the Catechism and the Bible.
