That stance puts Francis le wh his precsor, Pope Benedict XVI, who issued a document 2005 statg that men wh “eply rooted homosexual tennci” shouldn’t be allowed to study for the prithood. The Pope’s public ments on gay men and women provi at least some hts of what he really thks.
POPE FRANCIS LLS FOR END TO ANTI-GAY LAWS AND LGBTQ+ WELE OM CHURCH
That is, for Francis, beg gay and the teachg of the Catholic Church is an “and/and” proposn. The two reali seem to be ntradictory if we nsir that Francis has exprsed publicly and shown his meetgs wh gays and transgenr persons an openns to who they are and how they live. He said, “Who am I to judge?, ” embraced a former stunt and his gay partner Washgton, and hosted a transgenr man om Spa at the Vatin.
Yet, the official teachg of the Catholic Church on beg gay is that “the homosexual clatn is objectively disorred” and same-sex upl nnot marry the Catholic Church. So while Francis’ words and gtur sometim seem to give the msage, “It’s OK that you’re gay, ” that msag seem to be ntradicted by the l of the church he erns.

Even beg gay, which the Catholic Church lls an “clatn, ” is “objectively disorred, ” acrdg to the church. Includ the techism’s teachg about gay men and women is that they “mt be accepted wh rpect, passn and sensivy.
