梵蒂岡教皇發表講話 向同性戀者示好

New pontiff also makes surprising statements about gay believers.

Here is breaking news right now. Comes from the papal aircaft.

Pope Francis making a significant statement showing conciliation to gay priests and gays and lesbians all around the world.Josh we just got it from the aircraft.

Yes, this is in Pope Francis.This is a man who spent his life in service and it was thought perhaps his election was in part because he represented the churches reaching out to the distant franchises that has included women and gays,and speaking for a little over an hour and answering question with the press corps in Italian and it says, relaxed, often laughing and joking with them.He says not only will the role of women in the churches be more prominent and important, this is also what he had to say.It’s specific about gay priests.“If someone is gay” and I am quoting it, “someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?”and?"this of course does fly in the face really of his predecessor Pope Benedict who had said a man with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priest again.”As you mentioned Gosh, just another sign of conciliation.

And you know this is growing sentiment inside the church, there is opposition in the Catholic clergy to gay marriage.But I spoke with cardinal dolan here in New York several weeks ago and what would you say to a gay couple to come here who says we love each other and we want live out that, he said I love you too and God loves you. They are trying to reach out, trying to find ways to include everyone in that church now.

But the Pope coming out and make a kind of statements like that. We had a kind of indication from him early on and he was going to be a different type of leaders. Yes. Yes. And I really feel like again. The church, they realize that they have come to something of cross roads and they would have to make gestures such as these again. It is interesting not only did he say it but how what was it said again in very relaxed back and forth.It comes up on a amazing trip to Brazil this week where there is a strong listen up.Oh, this is the young people.Absolutely.The headline at the moment.
