Pope Francis Says Homosexuality Is Not a Crime

Pope Francis Says , Homosexuality Is Not a Crime.

Pope Francis recently gave his first interview since the death of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI.

.

While speaking to the Associated Press, Francis said that while the Catholic Church views homosexuality as a "sin," being gay is not a "crime.".

Francis thinks distinguishing between the two is important and feels the Catholic Church should do what it can to end laws that criminalize homosexuality in some countries.

.

Associated Press reports that around 67 countries or jurisdictions around the world criminalize consensual same-sex relationships.

.

In America, over a dozen states continue to have anti-sodomy laws despite the Supreme Court declaring them unconstitutional in 2003.

We are all children of God, and God loves us as we are and for the strength that each of us fights for our dignity, Pope Francis, via Associated Press.

LGBTQ advocates applauded the pope's comments.

His historic statement should send a message to world leaders and millions of Catholics around the world: LGBTQ people deserve to live in a world without violence and condemnation, and more kindness and understanding, Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, via Associated Press.

The 86-year-old pope went on to address his health, saying, "I'm in good health for my age.

I'm normal.".

Francis has been forced to use a wheelchair recently due to issues with his knee

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’ [Video]

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.” The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention. #GretaThunberg #BudapestPride #HungaryNews #LGBTQ #ViktorOrban #GretaVsOrban #HumanRights #HungarianPolitics #Pride2025 #ClimateActivist #FreedomOfSpeech #BanOnLove #OrbanGovernment #LGBTQRights #GretaInHungary #OrbánCriticism #ProtestNews #GazaControversy #HungaryUnderOrban #EuropePolitics Also Read Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg Leads Protest Against Azerbaijan Hosting COP29 Climate Summit Over Human Rights Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-protests-against-azerbaijan-hosting-climate-summit-011-3984443.html?ref=DMDesc Explained: Why Was Greta Thunberg Arrested At The University Of Copenhagen? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-was-greta-thunberg-arrested-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-3925483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.346~
