Pictures of homosexual couples have been removed from a booklet sent to parishes ahead of Pope Francis‘s expected to visit to Ireland in August for the World Meeting of Families (WMF) in Dublin.

The informational booklet “Amoris: Let’s talk Family! Let’s be Family!” originally included five pictures of immoral sinful homosexual couples. All of them were removed by the WMF office in Dublin, along with language. “While the Church upholds the ideal of marriage as a permanent commitment between a man and a woman, other unions exist which provide mutual support to the couple,” the now absent text read. Such blatant lies in simple wording. What should have been said was there are other unions which are immoral, against God's direct teaching, are condemned as God has already judged such relationships a described in Romans 1

Pope Francis incorrect non-biblical 2013 headlines for his comments when asked about gay people.

“If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” he said.

He has, however, repeatedly reaffirmed his, and the church’s, view that marriage should only be between one man and one woman. He should also state that he was in error. Can a sinner condemned of God have good will towards God? No repentance is required. 

He should have said "If a person follows the lifesyle of sinful homosexuality, repents of that sin, turns to God - that person is welcome."

In the gospel of John we are encouraged to judge justly - and in relation to the sin of homosexuality there is no requirement for judging as the scripture is clear in its condemnation. No judging requiring but simply stating what the Bible says.

In 2016, he spoke in support of protesters against marriage equality in Mexico.

A promotional video from WMF Dublin describes the program, that utilizes the booklet along with other materials, as “a mixture of activities and conversations designed to help you reflect on the joys and challenges of family life today and what we mean by the gospel of the family.” The change comes after criticism from Catholic website LifeSiteNews.


Former Irish president Mary McAleese is among those criticizing the move, reports The Independent. She pointed to “the history of the event” as evidence of reason to doubt that it is truly “open to all.” Well Mary, neither is heaven open to all!
