Pope Francis said the “reactionary attitude” among some American Catholics is “useless” in the face of doctrinal progress, according to remarks published Monday.
Francis, 86, commented at a meeting with Jesuits in Lisbon, Portugal, on Aug. 5 as part of his visit for the 2023 World Youth Day event. His remarksin La Civiltà Cattolica , a magazine often featuring the pope’s candid statements in meetings with his fellow Jesuits.
Those who are part of “a closing climate,” he said, “lose the true tradition” of the church “and turn to ideologies. … In other words, ideology replaces faith, [and] belonging to a sector of the church replaces belonging to the church.” A few months after his 2013 election as spiritual leader of the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics, Francis’ statement about homosexuals in the priesthood — “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” — set off a controversy that has only continued.
The pope said, “What I don’t like at all, in general, is that you look at the so-called ‘sins of the flesh’ with a magnifying glass, as has been done for a long time.” He said the exploitation of labor, lying or cheating “didn’t count” in many instances, but only “sins below the belt were relevant.”
