Pope Francis recently responded to a letter written to him by a homosexual at Outreach Faith, a pro-sodomy Roman Catholic website devoted to advancing sexual immorality within the Catholic Church. Outreach’s James Martin sent the pope a hand-written letter (in Spanish) asking three questions about gay Catholics and he responded to them with utmost affirmation.

Below are the questions that were asked and his responses, according to Outreach.


Outreach:
 What would you say is the most important thing for LGBT people to know about God?

Pope Francis: God is Father and he does not disown any of his children. And “the style” of God is “closeness, mercy and tenderness.” Along this path you will find God.

Outreach: What would you like LGBT people to know about the church?

Pope Francis: I would like for them to read the book of the Acts of the Apostles. There they will find the image of the living church.

Outreach: What do you say to an LGBT Catholic who has experienced rejection from the church?

Pope Francis: I would have them recognize it not as “the rejection of the church,” but instead of “people in the church.” The church is a mother and calls together all her children. Take for example the parable of those invited to the feast: “the just, the sinners, the rich and the poor, etc.” [Matthew 22:1-15; Luke 14:15-24]. A “selective” church, one of “pure blood,” is not Holy Mother Church, but rather a sect.
