JIGHU: No ....Roman Catholics is losing it
No... Nobody is loosing anything except lots of Nigerians who have zero ability to comprehend simple reports.

Hate the sin but not the sinner... that's the bible's stand... I wonder what is so difficult to understand in that..

Very soon in our traditional hypocrisy, Nigerians would soon advocate for stoning of adulterers..

It's like Vatican didn't get it anymore so the mystery behind Pope John Paul untimely retirement is thereby confirmed.
Albeit, this new Pope has faulted the role of 'REPENTANCE and NEW LIFE'. If Gay people should understand that they have committed a grievous act, and turn a new leaf thereafter, 'ish' their integration ną small thing jareh.

You cannot continue in Sin and xpect grace †☺ abound. Pls, Pope, stop being diplomatic on this evil act.

Why do people like reading stupid meanings into something very simple? The Pope is not in any way saying that homosexuality is right or something. He only said that he can't judge them, that is what the Bible says anyway. He said he is willing to accept them if they repent and seek the goodwill of God. Nobody is free of sin. Only he that is free of sin should jugde people and IMO that person is God and not all these Nairaland hypocrites that'll sleep with all the love peddlers around and still be the first to condemn gays like homosexuality is now a bigger sin than fornication. Sleeping with your boyfriend/girlfriend not your husband/wife is a sin as homosexuality is a sin. No sin is bigger than the other. Remember Mary Magdalene? She was a prostitute! She is chilling in heaven now. Remember the adulterous woman? Remember what Jesus said? 'Let he that is without sin cast the first stone'. Remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees when they said He was dining with sinners? Jesus came for the sinners. Condemn the sin not the sinner! that is what the Pope said!

And are the one to decide my status as a Christian? Who gave you such right? Your jet-blazing super-star pastor? Abeg buzz off, hypocrite.

mascot87: I am very sure most nairalanders would misinterpret what the pope is trying to insinuate cos of lack of wisdom understanding his simple statement.Already I am seeing some bigoted illiterates making statements that makes me wonder why some ignoramus bigocony continue to reason with there nose rather than calming down, digest and think deeply on what the Pope is trying to say using there brains. angry
Most people would make silly statements just because they don't believe in the ideology of the Catholic church.Most people are hardcore Religiolistic and tribalistic in nature.
Does your Catholic Church teach you to be abusive in your choice of words? Is homosexuality a way of obeying the command of going into the world and multiply? If we condemn what we know to be wrong, that is not judgement. I hope Pope did not say what he said with ungodly connotation in mind.
Re: Pope Francis: Who Am I To Judge Gay People? by Nobody: 9:53pm On Jul 29, 2013
The fear of being judged. Sad the pope cant stand up for what is clearly stated in the bible...... well he is not jesus so everyone can look beyond what the pope has said and uphold true faith even when the "leaders" keep stumbling.

khattab02: AND who told u they dont criticise and condem such acts.Such acts are unislamist and will never be part of Islam even though they can make claims all in the Name of Allah(supreme lord of the heavens and earth and all that is btw them) Qur'an 5:32 says''if any one kill any human being unjustly it is as if he has killed the whole mankind and If any one save any life it is as if he has saved the whole mankind'' clearly the Qur'an condems such acts and I do not find a similar verse in any other religious SCRIPTURES OF THE WORLD.

Hezron Lorraine: When will some of you stop believing all this widepread misconceptions of the holy scriptures.
First,the many generalization here is:God destroy Sodom and Gommorah because of homosexuality.
Go back to your bible and read it again.
This time with an unbiased mind.


Many of you know little or nothing about homosexuality and gay people so u assume a lot by using what you read on tabloids to measure opinion against homosexuality.

I've read times and again true confessions of catholics and some christian envagelicals who usually conduct conversion therapy and ex-gay classes,saying they know how well what they do,doesn't work.how it instead of helping makes the person's life more miserable and unstable.


Ignorant homophobes and christian fanatics are always ready to lead gays to the stake and burn them alive.you usually forget,Gays and Lesbians are part of the world.If God truely destroyed S&G cause of homosexuality,there shouldn't be gays in the world.

Moreover oppression and destruction of a particular people doesn't change the challenges on ground.Anti-gay laws exist around the globe,has it reduced gays no.


I still ask the question.
What exactly is the threat Gay Rights,Freedom and Marriage Pose to any well meaning Heterosexual?


They keep failing this question but hold unto their clubs,well.
Jesus lived with all,the men who called sinners sinners,hold the highest attrocities ever.



Another set of gullible people I know are winners members,except Bishop says it,every other person is wrong.that has been the case of the catholics for years,now thy are jaw-dropped.I'm very desperate to listen to Bishop David Oyedepo teach us on sunday where christianity stands with homosexuality.

Syncan:


Exactly. The church never teaches discrimination against them, She rather sees their act as a grave disorder, yet She encourages them to seek the face of the lord, whose grace can make all things good. Yea its unfortunate when someone finds his or her sexual taste biased in that manner, the church sympathises with such a one, but calls him or her to a higher spiritual effort. The pope however, in line with the church, frowns at any propagation of a disorder as if it is right. This is what the lobbyists do.

syncan , may your way never be narrow

Like seriously? So you are free of sin....So God created some people who are already damned even without giving them the opportunity to find Him and serve Him? Some people are appointed to repent and go to heaven while others are not appointed and must go to hell? I just dey laugh. Virgin bride of Christ indeed.

You are a virgin bride of Jesus? Means both you and your master are gay. No one is judging you for that, but you do sound insane tho.
