A gay man who was abused by a Chilean priest, told reporters about a private conversation with the Pope.
Juan Carlos Cruz, who in April spent three days with Pope Francis in the Vatican, gave CNN the words of the Pope concerning his sexual orientatsii:
«God made you that way. God loves you as you are. Daddy loves you so, and you have to love yourself and not worry about what people say».
The representatives of the Pope is not confirmed, nor denied this information. As the press-Secretary of the Vatican Greg Burke today told CNN: «we Usually do not comment on private conversations the Pope».
If, however, Cruz says the truth, it will be an unprecedented departure from the canons of the Roman Catholic Church, according to which homosexuality is a psychological disorder, and contrary to God’s laws, and he should resist.
Cruz visited the residence of the Pope along with two other victims of the Chilean priest Fernando Karadima, who was found guilty by the Vatican in 2011.
Last Friday, may 18, after discussing with the Pope the situation of violence in the Church, all 34 of a Bishop in Chile, resigned. The Pope accused them of covering up the actions Karadima and other rapists-priests for many years.
Pope Francis is not the first time surprises the public with his statements. Not so long ago he said that hell does not exist, and the souls of sinners just dissolve in time and space, and not knowing the Supreme grace. The news the Vatican has denied.
