The true Church follows Paul
Pope says church should ask forgiveness from Sodomites for past treatment

Nope. Its words.
He demands apologies where they are not warranted, encouraging those falsely claiming wrongs to continue in their rebellion.
Repentance involves people turning away from sin, not others apologizing to them.
Since when did you learn common sense?

...and Paul follows Jesus Christ, as do all of the apostles and bishops.

Post No. 80 is useless.
Respond to the accusation: Apologies are for individuals to produce for themselves, not for some computer program to prescribe.

This pope, from well outside "the Vatican loop," was elected by the cardinals to save the Catholic Church from itself - trapped in a "death spiral" of widespread sexual abuse with a leadership that "just didn't get it!"
Our conservative "friends" are looking for a pope with an "Old Testament" mindset - Francis is a "New Testament" man who is more interested in responding in the manner of Christ!

Sheer nonsense. Catholic teachings do not change when popes change. And we all know how the media distorts things to boot.
The Catechism still states the Homosexual acts are an abomination and can never be approved of. That has not, and will never, change.
Having said that, do you think its okay to beat up and do harm to people who commit certain sins and yet turn a blind eye or even give a "wink wink" "nod nod" to others such as drinkers or gluttons or fornicators? I am pretty sure that's what the pope is getting at..
What are your sins, hmmm? Maybe you like to take a longer than usual look at the ladies? ....get a little tipsy now and then perhaps? Are you fat?......Gluttony IS one of the seven deadly sins after all. Should the hoards come after you and beat you with a stick?
Something to think about.

John Calvin called the papacy the seat of perdition, and Martin Luther charged it with idolatry- they saw the Roman Church as an ever changing one in due process of extorting society through doctrine.
Do you understand the difference between a 'sin' and a 'vice'?
Apparently not
^ I notice you chopped up my post.and left out the parts that actually address the topic.
Apparently YOU are trying to demote your sins to mere vices. Mortal sin is mortal sin, be it gay sex or gluttony or drunkenness.
