I'm Sorry. He's Sorry. We Are All Sorry. Very Sorry.
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Sunday that Christians
and the Roman Catholic Church should seek forgiveness from homosexuals
for the way they had treated them.
Speaking
to reporters aboard the plane taking him back to Rome from Armenia, he
also said the Church should ask forgiveness for the way it has treated
women, for turning a blind eye to child labor and for "blessing so many
weapons" in the past.
I'm Sorry About My Hat |
In
the hour-long freewheeling conversation that has become a trademark of
his international travels, Francis was asked if he agreed with recent
comments by a German Roman Catholic cardinal that the Church should
apologize to gays.
Francis
looked sad when the reporter asked if an apology was made more urgent
by the killing of 49 people at a gay club in Orlando, Florida this
month.
He
recalled Church teachings that homosexuals "should not be discriminated
against. They should be respected, accompanied pastorally."
Thanks! I DO NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!! |
He
added: "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."
I also apologize to Muslims for the Crusades, the meat industry for the whole abstinence thing, and dogs and cats for their lack of a soul.
