Pope Francis wants the church to apologize to gays

Pope Francis made this known on his way back from Armenia Sunday as he spoke to reporters on his plane.

The Pope was asked if he agreed with one of his top advisers, who said after the Orlando, Florida massacre that the Church should seek forgiveness from gay people for having marginalized them. This question was asked probably to tempt him, but he did it right.

Pope Francis said: ‘I think that the Church not only should apologize  to a gay person whom it offended but it must also apologize to the poor as well, to the women who have been exploited, to children who have been exploited by being forced to work. It must apologize for having blessed so many weapons.’

The Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are not sinful but homosexual acts are and that homosexuals should en devour to be upright.

‘The questions is: if a person who has that condition, who has good will, and who looks for God, who are we to judge?’ he asked.

‘We Christians have to apologize for so many things, not just for this,’

‘But we must ask for forgiveness, not just apologize! Forgiveness! Lord, it is a word we forget so often!’ Pope Francis added.
