In the exerpt you posted, the pope is speaking about God's mercy and the pastoral care of homosexuals. Some homosexuals are reprobate, and beyond hope. But some are broken sinners, seeking a way out of the darkness that surrounds them. In that sense, his words are reasonable.
Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider the person. Here we enter into the mystery of the human being. In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.
I see nothing in your quote about repentance.
“In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.”
No, God does not accompany everyone. We are called children of wrath before we repent.
Eph 2:3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
Eph 5:8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
2Pe 2:14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
1Jo 3:10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
The Gospel is not hard to proclaim:
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Any honest response to a homosexual would be along the lines of ‘God loves you, but you are living al ife of enimity with God. Repent, and trust God to forgive you your sins.”
Or as Peter put it:
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”
I ask you - does Pope Francis sound like someone who follows Peter, or who rejects Peter?
