“At the Philippine Daily Inquirer Conversations forum held at the Thomas Aquinas Research Center of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Archbishop Socrates ‘Soc’ Villegas — president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) — was asked whether Pope Francis condemned members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transexual (LGBT) community,” reports Aries Joseph Hegina on Inquirer.net.
Villegas reportedly answered the question with these words: “Being a homosexual is not a sin. It is a state of a person.”
Villegas went on to say, “The Pope says ‘The Lord came to die for all, homosexuals and lesbians included.’ There is no one excluded from the saving plan of God. God died for them also. God invites gays and the lesbians to go beyond their present situation and love Jesus.”
