Pope Cums Out in Support of Gays
“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis asked reporters on the Papal Aircraft heading back to the Vatican City from Brazil. (Critic would like to point out, however, that the Catholic Church is clearly still struggling with feminism.) “We shouldn’t marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society.”
Taking his name from the patron saint of nature, it is perhaps unsurprising that Francis accepts human nature in all its various forms.
Nichi Vendola, a gay Italian politician, said “at a stroke, Pope Francis has done an astounding thing, separating the issue of homosexuality from paedophilia.”
However, as with anything involving the Pope, the plot thickens. Rumours are rife that link the previous Pope’s resignation to the existence of blackmail and a gay lobby group among the Vatican’s priests. Considering that they can’t express any form of sexuality, Critic is baffled yet enthused.
It is also important to note that this admission does not make the likes of gay marriage or gay sexual acts okay in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Rather, it forgives those who are inherently gay, and may go some way to decriminalising homosexuality in sub-Saharan Africa where Catholicism has recently exploded. The wider issue, however, remains somewhere in the grey zone.
