I recently commented on the silence of Pope Francis on the Jewish question, and how this silence is clearly an effort on the Pope’s part to win the favor of the world. Now Francis has again shown himself to be striving for worldly acceptance, this time by opening his mouth rather than keeping it shut:
“If a person is gay, seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis said. “They should not be marginalized.”
Many mainstream news outlets have seen this as evidence of the Pope signaling a change in the Vatican’s position towards sodomy. Faithful Catholics are understandably horrified by the situation, but instead of attacking Francis himself, many of them have attacked the media for “distorting” what the Pope said. Conservative Catholics, like blogger Jimmy Akin, claim that Francis has not actually made any change to Catholic teaching:
How new is this?
Not very.
Disclaiming a right to “judge” others is something that goes back to Jesus. It does not mean a failure to recognize the moral character of others’ actions, however.
One can form a moral appraisal that what someone else is doing is wrong (Jesus obviously does not forbid that) without having or showing malice toward them.”
Thus, according to Akin, by saying that he cannot judge a sinner, Francis is merely affirming what the Church has always taught, that only God can judge. But although Akin can argue that Francis is being true to the letter of Church tradition, he is certainly not being true to its spirit. Francis is savvy enough to understand how the media will interpret his statements, and while he is not yet bold enough to contradict Church dogma, he does selectively cite Catholic teaching in such a way that the true spirit of Christianity is distorted. I too affirm that only God can judge, but when asked about a specific issue, rather than claiming ignorance a Christian is bound to repeat the judgment given in scripture. When there is a clear Biblical teaching on a subject but a Christian refuses to cite the teaching out of a desire not to give offense, he is directly contradicting the Word of God.
By claiming that he cannot judge homosexuals Francis is repeating the same argument that has long been used by subversive infiltrators of the Church and other Antichrists. Almost every time I have expressed my opposition to homosexuality to a liberal, he has responded by saying: “but you’re a Christian, you can’t judge anyone!” Now they can quote the Pope saying the exact same thing.
Interestingly, when discussing anti-semitism Francis did not deem himself incapable of judging, but rather boldly affirmed that “a true Christian cannot be anti-Semitic”.
