Pope Francis returns to speak on the issue of homosexuality and the Church’s position. “What I don’t like at all is that you look at the so-called sin of the flesh as has long been done about the sixth commandment“, says the Pope, explaining that the Church is open to everyone, including homosexuals and transgender people. “It’s me.” people who feel rejectedand it’s really hard for them,” he adds.


When you exploit the workersIf you lied or cheated, it didn’t count, but they did matter
the sins below the waist“, stresses Bergoglio in an interview with La Civiltà Cattolica, published by La Repubblica. ”
Human understanding changes over time and so does man’s conscience deepen. The other sciences and their development also help the church in this growth in knowledge.”

“I’m not afraid of a sexualized society” Pope Francis reaffirms with conviction that he is not afraid of a sexualized society. “It scares me how we deal with it, yes. I’m afraid of worldly standards. I prefer to use the term secular rather than sexualized because the term encompasses everything. For example, the desire to advance oneself, the fear of being able to get out or, as we say in Argentina, to climb. And to think that those who climb end up hurting themselves. My grandmother, a wise old woman, told us one day that you have to get ahead in life, buy land and bricks, a house. To be clear, they stem from the expatriate’s experience. But don’t confuse progress with climbing, said Grandmother. Because whoever climbs, climbs, climbs, climbs and, instead of having a home, resigns to a company to work or get a job, when he’s on top, he just shows his butt.

“Useless Retreatism in America” “I realized that the situation of the Catholic Church in the United States is not easy,” Pope Francis continues. “There is a very strong, organized reactionary attitude that structures a sense of belonging, even an emotional one. I want to remind these people that the policy of disengagement is useless and it is necessary to understand that there is a proper development in understanding issues of faith and moral.

“If you replace doctrine with ideology, you lose” According to the Holy Father, the vision of the Church’s teaching as a monolith is “wrong”. “But some call out, they’re going backwards, they’re what I call ‘backward.’ These American groups you speak of are so closed off, isolating themselves. And instead of living by doctrine, by true doctrine, which is always evolving and making an impact.” Fruit, they live on ideologies. But in life, if you give up doctrine and replace it with an ideology, you’ve lost, you’ve lost like in war.”
