That the pope would use the word “gay” in a sentence to refer to homosexuals is proof positive that he has capitulated. Every thing else he said is confirmation.

He stumbled if that quote is accurate, I’d agree. (If the speech was delivered in Latin, and we got a translation then there might be no term that translates “gay” vs. “homosexual.”) I hope if he did it, he stops. Otherwise he’s keeping open a foothold for evil.

I seriously doubt the Pope was speaking English. Therefore this is likely a translation of his original words. And I seriously doubt he used the word gay in whatever language he was speaking.

Folks need to realize that any media report that presents the Holy Father as saying something controversial is probably propaganda, not journalism.

“Gay”? Tell me what he said in Spanish, which is what he was speaking at the time. That would be a better basis for continued discussion.
