ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE
In a novel in-air press conference with the head of the Church of England and the head of the Church of Scotland, Pope Francis repeated his remarks first made on January 25 about the need for an end to anti-sodomy laws.
Noting that some 50 countries have anti-sodomy laws, Francis said as he was returning from a six-day trip to Africa, “The criminalization of homosexuality is a problem that cannot be ignored.”
Rt. Rev. Iain Greenshields, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, which permits homosexual “marriage” in their churches, praised Francis for his remarks, as did the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the lead bishop of the Church of England, which permits homosexual blessings in their churches. “I entirely agree with every word he said there… I shall certainly quote the Holy Father. He said it so beautifully and accurately,” Welby said.
PAT SAYS
Francis, Greenshields, and Welby are 100 % correct.
Prosecuting, punishing, and killing people for homosexual acts in the 21st century is atrocious and, in fact, a great evil.
In this day and age, there is absolutely no need to be using the word sodomy. It is a loaded word.
AND, many “straight” couples practice anal sex. If they are honest, they will admit it.
LGBT+ human rights are as valid as any other human rights.
