Pope Francis says that politicians who rage against homosexuals, gypsies and Jews remind him of Hitler: 'It is not coincidental that at times there is a resurgence of symbols typical of Nazism.'
Christopher Pett, president of DignityUSA, an LGBTQ Catholic advocacy organization, called Francis' statement"timely and relevant," saying the Roman Catholic Church has a role to play in fighting dangerous anti-gay political trends in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia.
"We call on the Pope to continue to be a strong, morally just voice in support of all human rights, but especially those of LGBTQ people everywhere," Pett said,"And to challenge injustices perpetrated by government sanctioned violence against LGBTQ people, while also continuing to look inward to the Roman Catholic Church’s teachings and the actions of some of its bishops that discriminate against and harm LGBTQ Catholics and others in this community.
In May, Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah extended a moratorium on the death penalty to incoming legislation prohibiting gay sex, seeking to temper a global backlash led by celebrities such as George Clooney and Elton John. The United Nations had warned Brunei it would be violating human rights by implementing Islamic laws that would allow death by stoning for adultery and homosexuality.
