The LGBT community is coming out — to condemn who they are calling Pope “Who Am I To Judge?” Francis and Patriarch “Gay Marriage Is A Sign Of The Apocalypse” Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church.
“The family is based on marriage, an act of freely given and faithful love between a man and a woman,” said a joint statement by the pope and his counterpart from the Russian Orthodox Church. “It is love that seals their union and teaches them to accept one another as a gift. Marriage is a school of love and faithfulness.
“We regret that other forms of cohabitation have been placed on the same level as this union, while the concept, consecrated in the biblical tradition, of paternity and maternity as the distinct vocation of man and woman in marriage is being banished from the public conscience.”
It’s been 1,000 years since the leaders of the Catholic and Russian Orthodox Churches had met, but it took only .1000 second for the reaction to flow in:
“The gays will get tired of the Pope’s homophobia and invade Rome to shut his mouth. He will be forced to learn samba.”

What Pacquiao said was distateful. Even Pope acknowledged that gays are loved by God. But people wishing he’d have gay children are worse
