Pope: ‘Who am I to judge’ gay people?

NBC News: Pope Francis on Monday said “who am I to judge?” gay people as he discussed one of the most divisive issues affecting the Catholic Church.  

“I have yet to find anyone who has a business card that says he is gay,” the pontiff said at a press conference in which he addressed the reports of a “gay lobby" within the Vatican.

“They say they exist. If someone is gay, who searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?” he added.

#GUYS I DON’T THINK WE UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING IMPORTANT THIS IS#THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH #THE FUCKING CATHOLIC CHURCH#THAT’S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE #JUST SAID #TO HIS MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS #THAT YOU SHOULDN’T JUDGE GAY PEOPLE #LIKE OMFG #THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST THING I’VE HEARD ALL WEEK

As a Catholic, I am literally jumping up and down. It’s impossibly hard to maintain my religion and be pro gay rights, because those who share my religion think they need to “fix" me and don’t trust me, and those who are not of my religion assume i have bigoted views and scorn me for being homophobic. I really want to see Catholicism represented the way it really should be, by its core beliefs of peace and fucking acceptance.

Is this real? Someone message me to tell me if this is real.

This is legit, according to Google. Colour me impressed.
