Pope Francis Named Person of the Year by Worlds Biggest Gay Magazine
By Julio Severo
Praises keep knocking at the door of Pope Francis, who was named Person of the Year by The Advocate, the worlds biggest homosexual magazine.
It is the second tribute that the pope has received in a week. On December 11, he was named Time magazines Person of the Year.
In its headline, The Advocate highlighted Francis statement, made during a June interview: If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Pope Francis stark change in rhetoric from his two predecessors... makes what hes done in 2013 all the more daring, The Advocate editors wrote, noting that both John Paul II and Benedict XVI had been listed among the magazines Phobie Awards for anti-gay stances during their papacies.
By anti-gay stances, The Advocate also sees the mere attitude of helping someone who does not want to be a homosexual any longer. Two years ago, this gay magazine criticized me for my stance of supporting Lisa Miller, a woman who was converted to Christ, left lesbianism and today is a runaway from the US justice system which wants to deliver up her biological daughter to her former lesbian partner, who has never been converted and is determined, even with no biological relation, to take Lisas daughter.
I was attacked just for defending a mother and her daughter.
Why then did The Advocate, instead of attacking, put the pope on a pedestal? By the same reason Leonardo Boff, of Liberation Theology, praises him. By the same reason that he is in favor with the Brazilian Protestant Left, which said, Pope Francis is a promise of better days.
All the Left is seeing it. Pope Francis is a promise of better days for the Catholic, Protestant, secular and homosexual Left.
In this spirit, the mainstream media have highlighted approvingly the popes nomination of Person of the Year in the worlds biggest homosexual magazine.

Well said. There is a difference between those who struggle daily with homosexuality, all the while seeking God, and those in the gay community seeking a pass on the behavior. As a society, we have given a pass on promiscuity among heterosexuals...this is the next stop. My 2 cents

1Cor 6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
