God made you to be gay, you have to be happy with yourself - Pope Francis tells a renown gay man. (see details)
Juan Carlos Cruz, who was a victim of sexual abuse, says Pope Francis told him in a private meeting two weeks ago that ”God made him to be gay” and that God is not angry about that and that he has to “be very happy with who he his.”
Juan Carlos Cruz, has come out to reveal what pontiff told him about his sexuality. Juan Carlos Cruz, who survived clerical sexual abuse has said the leader of the catholic church, Pope Francis told him that God is the creator of gay and he made him to be one and loved him.
The comments by the Pope is without doubt the most surprising comment about homosexuals to be said by the leader of the Roman Catholic church.
Juan Carlos was victimized as a child by ill-famed Chilean paedophiles priest Fernando Karadima.
Juan Carlos who confided with the Pope two weeks ago concerning the abuse he faced during his childhood days, said questions of his sexuality were asked by some of the Latin American country’s bishops who were looking for means to shew him as they propelled him to speak on his abuse.
It’s been a rule in the Roman Catholic that the Vatican does not speak on the Pope’s private comments, and that he must not accept to confirm or deny the remarks to any news outlet.
“The Pope told me, Juan Carlos, because you are gay does not matter. God made you like this and loves you like this. You have to be happy about yourself,” Carlos told Spanish newspaper El Pais.
This however, is not the first comment made by the Roman Catholic leader concerning homosexuality.
In 2013, the Pope made some comments concerning gay priests and his comments spread throughout the Roman Catholic Church.
The pope said, “If someone is gay and he his a christain and he does good things, who am I to judge them?” Pope Francis speaking in an interview.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church again said in an interview later that year that “God does not reject or condemn homosexuals.”
Fernando Karadima who abused Juan Carlos now 87 years of age, was found guilty of the charges laid on him in 2011 and was sentenced to one year of “intercession and pentinence.”
Carlos continued as he added that the Pope condemned what Karadima did to him as ”Nonsense” and “inhumane.”
“He paid attention to my ordeal with great interest like a father listening to his son. We spoke on many topics surrounding the Roman Catholic church and I can say we are heading for better days even though it may seem impossible.”
These recent comments made by the Catholic leader has been interpreted by listeners that the pope is embracing homosexuality as an acceptable sexuality designed by God to the Roman Catholics.
With his remarks on the subject, it is obvious that the Pope does not see homosexuals and lesbians as people who are living out of God’s commandment as other faction of the church may argue.
The Pope’s remarks on homosexuality comes right in time as several top profile clergy men have wanted to publicly air their view on homosexuals that they are loved by God despite them being shunned, estrange and alienated from the church.
While these comments from the Pope might have sound as a welcome development to the LGBT community who have been seeking to justify their sexuality in the Roman Catholic church after several rejection and ostracism, notable observers have however warned that the comments made by the pope on homosexuality does not necessarily represent a shift from the church doctrines and teaching as the church never gave any concrete reasons on why gay individuals are justified.
