Pope's Remarks Represent a Significant Change in Tone in Regards to Gays

Today while traveling home on the Pope's plane from his first papal trip, Pope Francis made several positive significant remarks in regards to gays and gay priests. "Who am I to judge", the pope was quoted as saying in regards to gay priests. While he did not wipe out all of the negativity in regards to gay priests, because homosexual acts are still a sin. He also asked the reporters aboard his plane, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord, who am I to judge?". This is good news all around for gays who in the past have been ridiculed and ousted for being gay in the Catholic Church.  The Pope also said, "And when someone sins and confesses, he said, God not only forgives — he forgets. We don't have the right to not forget," he said.  The pope also said that the church needs women but they could not be ordained as priests, bu that the church "would be sterile" without women. Sounds to me like this pope is an all inclusive pope. While no one is excluded from attending services or having a relationship with God, he didn't go the extra step and endorse gay marriage. Baby steps, I guess is the best way to sum up his views. The pope also stated that there isn't a "gay lobby" in the Vatican trying to sway him and that one of his trusted Monsignors did not have a gay tryst. The pope claims that he investigated and found those allegations to not be true. Hmmm, I bet they are true. I know for a fact there are a LOT of gay priests in the Catholic Church and I also know that a lot of older men engage in homosexual acts because it is easier for them to get a man than a woman. hahahahaha I am currently having a sexual relationship with a priest. It's been going on for 13 yrs now. So I am sure he will be happy to know that the pope is not out to get rid of gay priests. hahahaha
