An “important signal” a “strong set”: The reform movement “We Are Church” is excited about the Pope’s statements on homosexuality. Francis had campaigned during a spontaneous press conference for a more open handling of gay priests.<\/h1>\n

The Catholic reform movement “We Are Church” has welcomed the statements of Pope Francis for a more open church’s handling of homosexuals. “This can and must be a liberation for all priests who are homosexual and had to hide it so far,” said “We are Church” spokesman Christian Weisner on the dash.<\/p>\n

So far, gay priests would often have to live in fear of extortion or ecclesiastical sanctions. It is noteworthy that Francis presume there is no judgment on the sexual orientation of others.<\/p>\n

In a spontaneous press conference on the return flight from Brazil to Rome, Francis had campaigned among other things, a more open church’s handling of homosexuals. “If God is looking for someone with good will, who am I to judge about him,” he had replied to the question from a journalist.<\/p>\n

The Pope, who was speaking on a flight back to Rome from his week-long visit to Brazil, also hit out at those who campaign on behalf of gay people.<\/p>\n

“The problem is not having this orientation, it is lobbying,” he said. “That’s the most serious problem I think.<\/p>\n

“If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?”<\/p>\n

Deputy Editor of Catholic newspaper The Tablet, Elena Curti said the Pope’s comments were highly significant and progressive.<\/p>\n

“This is a strong record,” Weisner said. “He is an important signal that Francis has no fear of reality.” At the same time the Pope’s remarks on homosexuality were a departure from the rigid stance of his predecessor, Benedict XVI. This change of course but must be decided up by the bishops and cardinals – including the German stood in the duty.<\/p>\n

Francis had further stated homosexuals should not be marginalized:. “They are our brothers” According to the “Wall Street Journal,” he explained, however, one must distinguish between homosexuality and the existence of a homosexual lobby in the Vatican. The latter is a problem if there were blackmailed people with secret information. Italian media had speculated about the existence of such a group.<\/p>\n\n
