Isn’t what he said a very warm and embracing way of reversing what the Pope said in 2005?

One needs to distinguish between a homosexual who has already been ordained a priest and a candidate for the priesthood who is homosexual.

The official documents which say that homosexuals should not be ordained were not the topic of discussion at the press conference and they are still in force.

The interview was only a couple of days ago, and seems to be a different policy from the previous one.

It seemed to be a signal that this Pope sees the previous Pope’s refusal to accept homosexual priest students, as too harsh, this Pope even introduced calling them ‘gay’ it looks like.

This was an entirely different tone, and even a new vocabulary, it means something.

I wonder when people will look into what was said about divorce.
