“If someone is gay and is looking for the Lord, who am I to judge him? You should not discriminate against or marginalise these people.”

Take a look at the bolded part. What does it mean? I'll tell you: it is the official position regarding homosexuality in the RCC, namely that being gay isn't a sin in and of itself. But if you want to be in a loving relationship with someone, or *GASP* be physically intimate with someone you are attracted to, THAT'S a problem. The church will judge you six ways from Sunday if you do any of that. Remember, they've fired gay teachers from schools if they get married or someone learns they are living with a lover. And wonderpope Frank hasn't objected to ANY of that.
