Pope Francis interview

INTERNAL, VATICAN POPE FRANCIS IS GIVING AN INTERVIEW ON GAY MARRIAGE

Reporter: So is it true that there is a gay lobby in the Vatican?

Pope: If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge them?

Reporter: What about gay clergymen, what is your stance on that.

Pope Francis: It is the the Roman Catholic Church's position that homosexual acts were sinful, but homosexual orientation was not. Or to put it another way as the good book says, it is better to give than to receive.

Good punchline but could have got there a lot faster!

Thanks, Sooty, I thought I got there as fast as I could, but yes it could easily be a one liner

I think it's also a little confusing because the gay orientation thing and the gay lobby thing are diferent.

Ah right, I should have done my research. Thanks

Is there a gay lobby in the Vatican?

No, but we have a bisexual closet if that will do?

I did see a few lobby puns as I was writing it, I could have stopped there, well spotted, and funny.
