Pope: Laws Criminalizing Homosexuality Unjust; Church Should Accept Each of Us as God Does

 Pope Francis said laws criminalizing homosexuality are "unjust," calling homosexuality a sin  for Catholic worshippers, but not a crime, the Yahoo News website reports today  (Jan. 26, 2023).


"Being homosexual isn't a crime," Francis said in an interview this week with The Associated  Press. 


He noted that Catholic bishops around the world support laws criminalizing homosexuality and discriminating against LGBTQ individuals. He said the leaders should "have to have a process of conversion" and opt for "tenderness, please, as God has for each one of us."
