New Pope Will Put An End To Homosexuality

.....

According to him, his (Pope) selection is a ‘huge victory for all who condemns the practice of homosexuals’.

....

Pope Francis is known for his strict stand on gays as well as his stern critic of some actions of the Argentine Government.

...

He mentioned that because the Pope is against the practice of homosexuals, he will be able to put a stop to it especially in the debate of whether gay marriages should be accepted or not.

“I see his choice as divine especially in this age where homosexuality is the talk of town. I will commend the cardinals for a good work done because you can see that this selection was from God; it was led by the Holy Spirit... The selection of Pope Francis is a huge victory for all who are against gay practice; because he is known to be against it. He does not accept it at all and so I am glad that they have chosen someone like that…” Davis Opoku Ansah noted.

have the same managers because they are both using the same strategy. What we were doing before made people run away from us and hate us, so lets continue doing that but amp it up 100X.

no matter how he personally feels about gays. He may have the ability to chase more gays from the church but that remains to be seen. Catholic families are as likely to include gay people as any other "type" of family and the new Pope's feelings on the matter won't change how they feel.
Families are less inclined to shun gay members today than they were yesterday and that trend is going to continue.
Sorry Pope, your private opinions don't matter that much, even to Catholics.

Let's see how this goes for him.

I seriously doubt he could even put an end to it within the Vatican.

Where I'm originally from, East Hartford, CT, a lot of Ghanians have settled...one Catholic Church even celebrates a mass in their language there's so many of them!
