After Orlando Pulse Massacre, Pope Francis Prays Away the Gay


DAMNING SILENCE06.16.16 1:00 AM


Why won’t Catholic Church leaders say the names of the murdered, or acknowledge why they were killed?

Roman Catholic officials followed Pope Francis’ lead in decrying the “terrible massacre that has taken place in Orlando.” Violence toward who?
I see almost nothing in which the Church identifies the victims of the Orlando shooting as gay men and women. In this utterly heartbreaking moment, I am hurt and angered by the Church’s lack of care of the whole gay person, including the identification of the gay victims when it matters most: in their martyrdom.

The free world demands that Pope Francis come out and name the victims of the Orlando massacre and hate crime, and identify them as homosexuals born in the image and likeness of God. Until Francis comes out in support of LGBT people during one of their most vulnerable moments he contributes to that “absurd and terrible violence” that others their community and makes them the target of any extremist with access to hate, and arms.

that Blank Frank (much loved by the clueless on DU) and his catholic church are virulently anti-gay? He should get back to planet earth some time.

Wonder if we should start classifying any catholic website that advocates keeping same-sex marriage illegal, or that teaches that homosexuals are "inherently disordered" as a "hate site"?
