Now, the Pope did say to gays-”Who am I to judge.”Many catholics have a problem with that plus gay priests.” I worry about the forced tolerance of things that are not judeao christian and are merely anti christian. This country was founded by those seeking religious freedom plus freedom from European Gov’s. We have had the very moral, religious, and legal structures that our forefathers so highly valued almost destroyed by the far left from attacks on the traditional family to throwing God out of public and crosses out. We have already seen much that our nation’s founders held so dear questioned by the left and this Pres.Many things have changed and our Pres has had 5 IFTAR dinners at the White House.

“Who am I to judge.”

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

—— Now, the Pope did say to gays-”Who am I to judge. ——

When the pope reiterates Jesus’ words, he means them in the sense that the Church believes Christ meant, that we are not to judge the soul of a person, while we can, and must, judge actions themselves.

For example, while sodomy is inherently evil, there can exist circumstances wherein a man who engages in sodomy is not guilty of personal sin.
