[b]All I know is that the Pope made the right assertions. Even Jesus did not crucify Mary Magadala when they brought her for stoning.... Inasmuch as she was ready to repent and not pestilent in sin. Who is the Pope then to judge? The Pope is calling them back to repentance without condemning them outrightly because he knows that comdemning them may mean people going after them to kill them all over the world! Those sttupid reporters that asked him those questions knew exactly what they were doing. The Pope in his great wisdom, answered them correctly like a learned person. He did exactly what a philosopher will do; "SIT ON THE FENCE"! Thats all I got from this. I have one question by the way; "WHY IS IT THAT CATHOLIC BASHING THREADS (EXCLUDING THIS ONE) ALWAYS MAKES NAIRALAND FRONTPAGE? WHY IS IT THAT HOMILIES BY THE POPE, BISHOPS OR PRIESTS DONT MAKE FRONT PAGE? Rather you see "Oyedepo this, Oyedepo that; Adeboye this, Adeboye That; Oyakhilome this, Oyakhilome that! Nawa oo. ARE WE BEING MARGINALISED? LONG LIVE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE ONLY CHURCH FOUNDED BY JESUS CHRIST! Glory to Jesus.....[/b] 4 Likes |

Ehnnn Ehnnnn, ok, they want the pope to judge and condemn them abi? So, that latter, they will accuse the pope of judging others. Well, being gay is a sin and only God has the right to judge and punish them. |

even almighty God appointed a judge(Samson) to judge his people.. if we are now saying who am I to judge, then it's better to resign. being a leader alone makes u a judge over others... the moment u are taking decisions for and on behalf of others means you are judging them |

He's simply saying he's not qualified to make a judgement call. Live and let live. Homosexuality's not right neither is violence against homosexuals. Hate the sin not the sinner. We are all guilty one way or the other. No one is absolutely perfect. If we were all hunted down for our sins humanity would be on the brink of extinction. He's not pro- homosexuality..... 3 Likes |

Pipsland78: ...that he does not have the guts to stand for the truth. are you saying Jesus too didn't have the guts to stand for truth too as seen in d case of the prostitute that was supposed to be stoned in the bible.?

It's no wonder Christians are called sheep-they aren't the smartest animals. You read your Bibles and you don't even take time out to ponder on the words in your holy book. It wouldn't hurt to think outside the dogmatic box. 1 Like |

first people are not born gay. it is your environment/experiences that made you gay. second: even when a hitherto gay person gives his/her life to Christ, the homo-sexual tendencies do not automatically disappear. it is a life-long war against it. you will pray against it and all that. You will fight it and will never lobby for it. accepting urself as one with gay tendencies and not a gay person and realising that you need prayer and discipline. so it is possible to be a born-again xtian and have gay tendencies. the sin is in giving in to those tendencies. the Pope condemned the sin and the lobbying but did not condemn the tendency. even for heterosexuals, we fight a life-long war against our tendency to lust. even marriage (heterosexual - homosexual union is not marriage) requires as much discipline as celibacy. |

Is telling a r@pist that r@pe is a sin,judging? Is telling a murderer that murder is a sin, judging? If you don't say that homosexuality is a sin then you might as well shutup when someone r@pes your daughter or kills your mother. Quit quoting the bible out of context. 2 Likes |

mediachirps: he knows he is a gay too so, he shouldn't judge. he's scared of words, cause those words will be indirectly for him too. a clergy man who can't stand for the words of God he preaches. don't he's Bible has that portion that says " nor homosexual will inherit the kingdom of God " that's why they hardly preach about heaven and hell fire in Catholics.I never wanted to comment on this but ignorant people like you are forcing me. How do U know they don't preach heaven and hell? They preach everything in the bible, it is only the catholic church that preach about every part of the bible. They finishes the whole bible in every three years so how comes the finished the bible without talking about heaven and hell? Or are they not in the bible? Your hatred for Catholicism has blinded U knowing fully that it is the origin of christianity. The 1st pope is Peter the disciple of Jesus. I pitied all U coz U are like the lost son, I know one day, we'll welcome all U back... Christ loves U. Never discriminate just preach the gospel and be save |

jmoore: Is telling a rapist that rape is a sin,judging? the Pope and the church teaches that homosexuality is a sin. do u persecute someone for having the tendency to rape or commit adultery/fornication. No. You persecute him for giving in to his tendency to fornicate/lust/rape. |

princesammmy: Just imagin[color=#990000][/color] Stop quoting bible here. The pope know it more than you do. The catholic compiled the book so I wonder how you can know more than the owner of the book. The whole buy-bull you reading is the outcome of council debate. Also, how is two grown men choice of been s.exually intimated your own problem? Why judging them? 1 Like |
