I wrote on Facebook that "someone should write an article called 'The Pope Francis Dichotomy', since many non-Catholics are getting the wrong idea about Church teaching on subjects such as homosexuality.
For example, one such pro-homosexual-unions, non-Catholic wrote on Facebook: "Love this Pope!!! Beyond impressed, finally a Pope that lives in the REAL world, and not some imagined fantasy world." Because the pope said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn't marginalise people for this."
So, I wrote the article myself. Here it is:
He can't change Church teaching, and he hasn't changed Church teaching, and most of what he says is misconstrued by the media.
When he speaks lovingly and with understanding about people who have homosexual tendencies, he is, as far as I can tell (because he can be rather confusing, since he does not use the clear language his predecessors used), merely speaking what the Church has always taught about human sexuality and the value of the human being.
There are several things he says that I cannot decipher (or even bother to), but I don't worry about that, because, on this subject, Church teaching, as always, is clear.
Remember that.
