Pope Francis: Who am I to judge gay people?
As you know, Pope is the Bishop of Rome and
the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. The incumbent Pope is Francis,
elected on 13 March 2013 after Benedict XVI, has just become the first Pope to
visit South America, gathering as many as three million people in the world
famous beach Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro.
He made this first-time-ever visit for any
Pope to visit Brazil whose Catholic population is the largest in the world but the
proportion has been declining for the last decade against Protestants. The
church’s tough position on abortion, divorce and gay marriage seem to have been
the underlying reasons of the decline as the world, especially the young, seek
more freedom and less borders among people because of particular practices and
orientations.
However, the new Pope seems to be more sensitive
and flexible on these issues based on the comments he made on his flight back
to Vatican.
Enjoy reading and learning about the stance
of the world most influential clergy.
