While I agree with the Pope, we need to stop egoism and indifference, it needs to start with the church itself! The Pope was in Spain today talking about all of this. We see so much indifference in the Catholic Church. I feel that especially against gays and marginalized peoples. Even today we see it at church, priests are still insecure with gay couples, gays, or others who are not the norm at church. We see so many priests with so much ego, like the time of the Pharisees when Jesus was here on Earth, they act as if they are above others. They have inflated egos and are indifferent, especially to the gay people at church. They will not talk to them, they ignore, avoid, dismiss, and pretend even today they do not exist. I am not sure how the Catholic Church can get beyond this until they themselves acknowledge them, embrace them, and love them, and stop ignoring them as if they are not here in the church. While some churches are better than others at embracing all peoples, the Catholic Church is still behind the times, and the Pope too is indifferent and hypocritical in his words and actions. The church needs all of our prayers, even from gay people. It is not nice what they do to some people. God made all of us, He loves all of us, and He is using gays to teach a lesson to all about love! We are called not to judge and hate, but to love and embrace all! While we may not like the sin, we need to love all as we are all sinners in the eyes of God, and God loves us all! He is working in mysterious ways to teach all, even the church a lesson about their hypocrisy, indifference, and actions! Until the church and the leaders themselves start following, reflecting, forgiving, imitate, and loving like Jesus and stop make the church into a big money making operation and teach and show love for all, they will always have a problem and lack of respect of the people they dismiss. The Pope and church still have a lot to do today to bring all people into the church and love all people!
