61. So telling the truth about the Pope's views is 'hating on him'?
Thu Nov 14, 2013, 10:42 AM
Nov 2013

Those who claim Francis supports gay rights are not being honest at all. They speak falsely, and that is hurtful and harmful to the people who Francis attacks. He calls same sex marriage 'a destructive attack on God' plan' and yet some here claim he speaks in favor of gay couples. That is unacceptable.
Words of the actual man Francis on marriage equality:
“Let us not be naive: this is not simply a political struggle, but it is an attempt to destroy God’s plan. It is not just a bill (a mere instrument) but a ‘move’ of the father of lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

Who is doing the actual 'hating on' others? All I ask of Francis and his followers is that they stop trash talking my family and leave us alone. What they say about us is seriously vile.
You can have your own opinion, but you don't get to make up your own facts. Folks on DU need to stop claiming falsely that Francis is in favor of equality.
