Pope Francis has said that the church must embrace gay people because
no one should be defined by their se.sexuality. He noted that God was
merciful.
He said people should be “treated with delicacy and not marginalized,” because “before all else comes the individual person in
his wholeness and dignity”.
In his new book, “The Name of God is Mercy” which takes the form of
an extended conversation with Andrea Tornielli, the Italian journalist
and Vatican watcher, the Pope urged Christians to “overcome prejudice
and rigidity”.
The Pope also described himself as a sinner in need of God’s mercy.
He also revealed that he might have ended up in jail of the
circumstances of his life had been different.
He shared the message of infinite mercy of God saying that God “does not exist to condemn people.”
