Pope Francis ‘worried’ about homosexuality and says gay people should not join Catholic clergy

... The pontiff said: “This is something I am concerned about, because perhaps at one time it did not receive much attention.”

He said candidates for the priesthood, as well as women seeking to become nuns, must be “humanly and emotionally mature”.

He added: “For this reason, the church urges that persons with this rooted tendency not be accepted into ministry or consecrated life.

“It’s better for them to leave the ministry or the consecrated life rather than to live a double life.”

And what about the ones that already have? There appears to be plenty of them.

BTW Francis... It’s also not part of Christian teaching, another good reason for them to leave. Join a religion that accepts homosexuality... The United Church for instance.

Him worried about homosexual priests is like Democrats worried about voter fraud.

He’s “worried” only because the homo problem is now manifest.

And that’s if he’s really worried at all.

“Urges” means nothing. What actions is he really taking?

...

The truth seems to have a way of eventually becoming obvious.

...”this rooted tendency”...

Preferring country music is a ‘rooted tendency’. The widespread raping of children is systemic criminal perversion.

Either that or he very recently converted to Catholicism.

Bergoglio will burn in hell for what he has done. The sooner the better.

Frankie is a very clever fellow.

He obviously began to realize that his conversion of the Church to an LGBT socialist organization was meeting with some serious resistance. He thinks he can deflect that resistance by pretending to act like he's a conservative Catholic and slip back into a gradual Fabian-style transformation of the Church.

He's downright devilish.

This communist pervert "pope" has been obfuscating, stalling, continuing to hide the problem from the authorities, prevent the American bishops from dealing with the matter while continuing to protect sodomite priests, senior clergy and everyone else involved in sodomizing and sexual abusing children and other clergy around the globe while feigning to care about the issue.

This, perverted communist "pope" is a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing, who belongs belongs in prison.

I think everyone has noticed by now that what this pope says and what he does are always almost the exact opposite.

How about FORBIDDEN!?!?!?!

This should NOT be about letting active homosexuals sneak around and hope nobody notices.

Start by cleaning out the Bishops and Cardinals who are known homosexuals.

Then the homosexual priests will recognize they have no protection and will be subject to scrutiny.
