Pope Francis judges homosexuality as a sin and Fr.James Martin sj is disapointed

 

Pope Francis in a recent interview with AP. He has said that homosexuality is a sin. Fr.James Martin sj took exception. The pope mentioned the Catechism of the Catholic Church which would place homosexual acts in the mortal sin category. Unrepentant mortal sins with no conversion take a person to Hell is the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Pope Francis was judging homosexual acts as being a mortal sin but was not condemning. He was also asking for laws not to condemn to death homosexuals.- Lionel Andrades

Homosexual acts—Although it remains to be determined if homosexuality is a genetic, social or personal stigma, homosexual acts are condemned by God and can NEVER be approved by the Church (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Genesis 19:1-29, Romans 1:24-27 and CCC 2357). If homosexuals are born with the condition, then they are called to live a life of Christian purity and chastity for the greater love of Christ. Such people can experience a life of trial, which all others must treat with compassion and sensitivity.
