Pope says anyone who ‘discards’ gay people ‘doesn’t have a human heart’
POPE Francis has said anyone who "discards" gay people "doesn't have a human heart".
British comedian Stephen K. Amos, who is gay, said he was "floored" by Pope Francis' words - which moved him to tears. There are people that prefer to select or discard people because of the adjective. These people don’t have a human heartFrancis replied: “Giving more importance to the adjective [gay] rather than the noun [man], this is not good."It does not matter who you are, or how you live your life – you do not lose your dignity."These people don’t have a human heart.”"For those of you who do not believe, could you wish me a good journey, so I do not let anyone down.
Francis welcomed the celebrities as part of the final episode in the BBC2 series Pilgrimage: The Road To Rome, which airs tonight.
