4 Jan 2014
According to the National Catholic Register, Auxiliary Bishop Charles J. Scicluna of Malta said in an interview in Avvenire, the Italian bishops’ newspaper, that he had expressed to the pope his concern about proposed legislation in his country to permit same-sex couples the right to adopt children.
“The Pope showed his sadness at this development, especially on the question of adoption,” said Scicluna.
I told him that the promoters [of the bill] quote his words: “If a person is gay and seek the Lord and have good will, who am I to judge?” but they don’t quote his words from 2010 when he was still Cardinal Archbishop of Buenos Aires. The Pope repeated the phrase of his letter of 2010: “It's an anthropological regression."
In 2010, when Pope Francis was archbishop of Buenos Aires, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio referred to same-sex marriage as an “anti-value and an anthropological regression.”

In addition, your obsession in trying to link Pope Francis with an acceptance of homo marriage, in spite of the contravening evidence to the contrary including the above post, says much more about you than it does about Francis.

Those so called "news sites" who claim that Cardinal Bergoglio approved of homo marriage when in Buenos Aires, demonstrate the classic example of cheap, trashy, tabloid journalism about a mythical occurrence that supposedly took place 16 months ago.

Those so called "news sites" who claim that Cardinal Bergoglio approved of homo marriage when in Buenos Aires, demonstrate the classic example of cheap, trashy, tabloid journalism about a mythical occurrence that supposedly took place 16 months ago.
What the proponents of this slander need to ask themselves is, if it were true, why was such a huge news story not covered by the major news outlets (both secular and Catholic) when it allegedly occurred? Secular media especially salivate whenever they can blast the Catholic Church for anything. If the allegation were true, why would those news outlets not have run this bombshell of a story?
Furthermore, if the trashy news outlet's claim is true – that Francis did support homo marriage -- why then is Pope Francis so adamantly opposed to it now and also opposed to what follows, 'homo' adoption'?
If Francis at any time approved of either, the hypocrisy would have been a huge news story especially now considering that he states unequivocally that he is absolutely against both 'homo marriage' and homo adoption.
"There's a sucker born every minute" is a quip meaning that it is very simple to con people - most people. In the case of Catholics, I would rephrase it to “There's a sucker born every 30 seconds.”

Amen! 
But let your speech be, 'Yes, yes' ; 'No, no' ; and whatever is beyond these comes from the evil one.

In 2010, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio called same-sex 'marriage' an "anti-value and an anthropological regression." In a conversation with Rabbi Abraham Skorka published in the book “On Heaven and Earth”, he said same-sex 'marriage' is a weakening of the institution of marriage, an institution that has existed for thousands of years and is “forged according to nature and anthropology.”
