“37And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume, 38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.”


I’m not insinuating that Pope Francis is Christ but if Christ is to be the example who are we to judge others that follow His example?

Because the other side of that story was that the woman was showing true repentance, just as the woman taken with adultery was told "to go and sin no more".

Some on here have speculated the couples went to Confession prior to the ceremony. Given the event I, too, would assume that is true. I do not think, in any case, by this act the Pope was declaring acceptance for any kind of life style or act. That, however, is how this is being spun.
