Pope Francis wants to talk about the situation of LGBT people and their place in the Church. It is common knowledge that homo- and transsexuals are systematically portrayed by the clergy as the worst evil that needs to be eradicated.

However, the head of the Catholic Church has a different opinion on the matter than many priests. Pope Francis wants LGBT people to feel that they can believe in God, attend Masses and live as they wish.

Pope Francis gave an interview to the newspaper "La Civiltà Cattolica". He spoke on LGBT minorities and non-heteronormative people and their place in the Church. The head of the Church is in favour of supporting all people and not excluding anyone from the community.

"But what I don’t like at all, in general, is that we look at the so-called ‘sin of the flesh’ with a magnifying glass, just as we have done for so long for the sixth commandment", said the Pontiff.

"I am not afraid of sexualized society. No, I am afraid of how we relate to it. I am afraid of worldly criteria. I prefer to use the term "worldly," rather than "sexualized," because the term encompasses everything," he added.

"My grandmother, who was a wise old woman, told us one day, ‘In life you have to progress, buy land, bricks, a house…’ Clear words, they came from the experience of an immigrant. Dad was an immigrant, too. ‘But don’t confuse progressing,’ Grandma added, ‘with climbing'," the Pope continued.
