Pope Francis is a new kind a pope hopson airmen
I love people feeling hopeful because all his comments
about gay human beings turns out ppl
maybe a little help well thirsting I when he was asked about it he said who
am I to judge a gay person
ok good we'll who seeks the Lord well
your the pulp I
anybody going to judge him it's usually the pope in fact the previous pope said
that
anyone who he deemed had a deep-seated homosexuality
know that's a reference to I would be barred from the vatican so you have
anybody gonna judge you would normally be the pope but he's not judging
so great he says you can't marginalize these people
now look is a little bit over
completely interest here too because there's been very credible reporting the
Italian press
about gay tryst that a lot of members the vatican or involved in
so he's got to make sure that if those people are
literally outed that he could then turn around ago said hey look man I
I told you I'm not one to judge so I'm gonna go ahead and keep
forty percent the vatican back it turns out we're involving the adress
forty percent the number I made up seems like a reasonable estimate given what we
found out in the past
about the Catholic Church anyway so but hey I'll take it
I'll take it he seems like a much more open guy he cares about the poor
he says the young should protests you concern about wealth inequality
terrific in fact an expert on him father james won
s as jay says what oppresses hallmarks an emphasis on mercy
which you see in that response that mercy of course comes from Jesus
and we can never have too much up well that's true
so it's a move in a positive direction
and always welcome I when we're looking at the vatican now
you have to keep in mind of course there are a lot of people who disagree with
this and
as 01 tweeter pointed out to me earlier today
it I could just see the Catholic League now complaining about what the pope said
that are headed by les amis liberal 0
say we should make the gays that would be
awesome and it's not outside the realm of possibility
now one other things of course there people who are against homosexuality in
and giving it any mercy whatsoever
are the people who usually quote Corinthians first Corinthians 6:9 tapped
well let's read the whole book now we talk about leviticus many times in the
show
soon as you know you shall not lie with a man as you do with the woman but it
also says you shouldn't touch pigskin
where clothing have two different cloths each shellfish we've been through all
the currency's
quote do not be deceived you the sexually immoral
nor idolaters nor adulterers
nor men who practice homosexuality North eaves
nor the greedy nor drunkards
Nora milers nor swindlers
well haired the kingdom of God because
only four people will be in the kingdom of God 0
that was not in there but it's pretty clear for what is in it is an amazing
with an enormous laundry list
that the one that the focus on is homosexuality
yes some say showed even there so is the greedy well there goes the entire
Republican Party
the swindlers there goes all the banks made literally been paying billions of
dollars in fines
for swindling people wiser never all this
talking the right-wing media about all those sweat logo yeah I O
and we should exclude them from the Boy Scouts than just about everything is
certainly the vatican everything else you can imagine
people who are covetous people were drunkards
me commenting are you kidding me there goes ninety-nine percent of the country
why do we never talk about them or their daughters
and reality is because thats all of us
instead what other people have to do is find one
outsider and blame all their problems on them
now the fact that Pope Francis is beginning to get away from that
phenomenon
is terrific and understand that this doesn't apply to all religious people
the
the right wing demagoguery that we see here in the United States
for example on the most famous reference in the world is there's been too too
and here's what he said recently he said I would not worship a God
whose homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this
I would refuse to go to homophobic habit no I would say sorry
I mean I would much rather go to the other place
as an amazing as the greatest
and most moral leaders in history the world
have been christians like Martin Luther King junior
so there is hope slouch pope out there aren't enough on back
but there really is hope a out there for
people who are more grissom by the way america even among evangelicals
there's a movement and that is a very large
where evangelicals a and Christians and foremost wishes are becoming more more
progressive
I so don't judge the rest of Christianity base on
are right-wing idiots who I'm telling you
could any day come how and condemn the pope
because he doesn't understand Christianity wait for
