Pope Francis Named “Person of the Year” by World’s 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 world’s biggest homosexual magazine.

It is the second tribute that the pope has received in a week. On December 11, he was named Time magazine’s “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 he’s 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 magazine’s “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 Lisa’s 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 pope’s nomination of “Person of the Year” in the world’s biggest homosexual magazine.

These folks are not seeking the Lord dear Pope. They are seeking our children and grandchildren.

Can anyone argue that this would have happened if Limbaugh had not commented on the Pope’s anti-capitalism comments?

“If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?”

Ala carte Christianity.

The gays aren't so quick to quote other parts of the scriptures regarding their chosen lifestyle.

[MeshugeMikey]

That cover almost looks like a parody. with the no hate icon pasted on the man;s face.

That not really a surprise in that “setting” given that the term “gay” is a parody in and of itself .

No comment will suffice.

They are conveniently ignoring the phrase "good will," which means that they must turn away from the homosexual lifestyle. If not, how could they say that they are seeking the Lord sincerely?

Only God judges the soul. And I believe they are trying to manipulate the lay people of the church.

Why not, unless he was mistranslated??

I’ve not read anything yet about a purge of the gay mafia at the Vatican. What’s up with that?

[jsanders2001]

Hopefully its a draw play to get some gays to go to church and convert them but knowing the Catholic church’s track record with their priests maybe the gay community knows something we don’t about the pope

[EEGator]

True, but this is a great way to trash Catholics and the Pope...

The Pope has no control over who proclaims him Man of the Year.

The media tends to build people up just so they can smash them to the ground.

The media honeymoon is fixing to be over for Francis.

“Seeks the Lord with Good Will”

When sinners had an encounter with Jesus, they had a decision to make: Repent and follow Him, or continue in a life of sin and suffer the consequences. Pope Francis is correct. All are called, but few chose Jesus. Pope Francis is taking the role of a merciful pastor. He calls all to repent and follow Jesus. However the homosexual community somehow takes this as a green light to continue in their sin and rebellion against God. Pope Francis wants you to set your eyes on Jesus Christ. The gays set their eyes on the lusts of the flesh.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

10 ... I’ve not read anything yet about a purge of the gay mafia at the Vatican. What’s up with that?

This is the last I heard about it which was 6 months ago.

6/11/2013 – “Pope admits there is a ‘gay lobby’ at the highest levels of the Vatican”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2339692/Pope-admits-gay-lobby-highest-levels-Vatican.html

Pope Francis has acknowledged the existence of a 'gay lobby' inside the Vatican's secretive administration for the 1st time. Speaking during an audience with Latin American Catholics, the Argentine Pontiff said that there was a 'current of corruption' in the Roman Curia - the central governing body of the Catholic Church. He also admitted the existence of a long-rumoured 'gay lobby' in the Curia, and hinted that he might take action over the issue.

Speaking in his native Spanish last Thursday, the 76-year-old told the CLAR (the Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious Men and Women): “In the Curia, there are truly some saints, but there is also a current of corruption. There is talk of a 'gay lobby' and it's true, it exists,” he said, in a report on Chilean website Reflexion y Liberacion. “We will have to see what we can do.”

The Argentine pope has made reforming the Roman Curia — the heavily criticised and intrigue-filled administration of the Catholic Church — a keystone of his papacy, but said it would be 'difficult'. “I cannot carry out the reforms myself,” he said, explaining that he was 'very disorganised.' For that reason, the task will be handled by a commission of 8 cardinals from around the world whom Pope Francis appointed in April to help him govern the Catholic Church. They are set to meet for the 1st time in October. When the previous Pope, Benedict XVI, announced his decision to retire, many suspected the work of the rumoured gay lobby at the heart of the Curia.
