He said more than that, and in the context of a United Nations meeting. But it is important for him and the pope as one of his last acts to tell us exactly what is meant by him. This is not saying we are not going to marry you...it is at the very least failing to condemn open season on LB GT people..and those who fail to turn them in. And if, God forbid, he does become pope, think of the permission it gives people to abuse and commit violence on others..well, God said it was OK through the pope.

I am appalled at the apologists for this, until we get total assurance that it was somehow a misunderstanding. Gays themselves do not seem to be taking it as a cultural fluff.
