spring wife's
thing that happened this weekend the pope said something
which for the pope yes he said today
said it today yeah on his %uh flight back from Brazil he was doing interviews
a big step
what we want you to tell me exactly what the he said was if someone is gay
who searches for the Lord and has good well who am I to judge
that's a really interesting quote from the Pope because in Catholic theology
there has been a distinction amongst some
catholics the the Catholics do
the some Catholics kinda distinguish like
the activity is being gay
with like being gay more than average I'll khalsa some Catholics about the
position like it's fine to be gay
that's just something you struggle with like you know act on impulse
now that's not a good position at all but that's better than we just take a
people but this is obviously a new position that he's just started out as
the stairs do it that's the quote that's getting picked up by
by I the headline quote from writing these are decisions but some other
really interesting stuff
I when asked about reports other gay lobby within the Vatican
he he like Kelly said yeah that basically he said he said
use he said I've yet to find anyone who has a business card that says he's gay
right I'm is kinda like a laugh at that whole and when asked about like this
this Sat the what he said before that that he's acknowledged obliquely
like of course there is like a gay community in the back
like of course it like there is everywhere he was kinda laughing at the
fact that somehow that's likely to disappear so like yeah at right whale
out
same time he said like I mean I know this is the position that
a lot of people wish to church than half what he said when asked what the gate
receipts within the Vatican
he said how you know if these
be being gay maybe considered a sin by the Catholic Church
but it's certainly no no criminal crime here
right like there's nothing quite why does it matter to you it's it's
and he also said God for what
if you commit the act acting out the simple act
acting out on your your gayness I guess you can say he said if your pet God
forgives and forgets who cares
yeah I mean I miss you hope this sheds big step I'm a big step and it's very
much in conjunction with his whole
refocus on you know
what what I have liked about this pope and you know we'll see because we've
we've come out in an arab like extreme conservatism and he is some question
marks is record for sure
but we we see this in conjunction with a real
re emphasis on issues of social justice poverty
calling like I you know calling out extreme inequality
the fire I and Bangladesh to kill all those workers
which other popes have done that's never completely left
Catholic theology obviously cuz there is that upon other
but this pope is really working to bring it back to the forefront
