Christians to apologise to Homosexuals
Jun 28^th, 2016 at 1:23pm

Gee, come on Yadda, Mr Cyclist, Moses et al. What on Earth should they be asked to apologise for? How did they justify their abusive behaviour of the past?

Quote:

In a groundbreaking statement about homosexuality, Pope Francis says Christians and the Catholic Church should seek forgiveness from gay people and others they have offended or treated poorly in the past.

"I repeat what the Catechism of the Catholic Church says: that they must not be discriminated against, that they must be respected and accompanied pastorally," the pope told reporters Sunday aboard the papal plane returning from Armenia to Rome.

Firstly, no one outside of the catholic church gives a rats what the old fool says (and it could be argued a large percentage inside the catholic church don't give a rats either).

Secondly, apologise for what? I've never personally attacked a homosexual violently or verbally. I don't see a gay person walking down the street and feel the need to hurt them in any way. But I don't support gay marriage or teaching people that this is normal behaviour. So what's there to apologise for? I can't say sorry because some idiot catholic priest burnt one to death 500 years ago. I didn't do that. If my opinion offends them I can't apologise for that, because I haven't changed my opinion.

I'm willing to bet the large majority of Christians are in the same position. Would never hurt a gay, but will not support their lifestyle. So what is there to apologise for?

Absolutely.

This Pope is an Argentinian simple monk who although delights in his apparent popularity amongst Catholics, does not reflect the general views of most Christians.

And the homos will be more flexible in the future as well, I presume, and I don't mean rectally.

Jeez sh1t loads of people don't like middle aged white hetro-sexual males but you don't see me running around demanding an apology;

I check my 'Give a Fkkk' meter and see if it still sits on zero and get on with my life like a normal well adjusted person.

So should they apologise to Christians for not accepting their beliefs?

I mean, how much more flexible can you get then; "Do what you want, but I don't support that lifestyle". Any more than that isn't being flexible, it is denying one's self.

They're simply asking forgiveness ...as fellow poofters.

So?

Forgot to state that the Catholic "church" has a lot more to apologise for.

Gays are the least of their worries.

I'm sorry you homos are so gay and look queer.

What about apologising for the Inquisition?
