Should the pope issue a formal apology for the Catholic church’s treatment of LGBT people?

“Absolutely. He seems more open than past popes. I don’t think it would be a long shot for him to apologize to the LGBT community. I think it would mean a lot to people, even outside of the church. And it wouldn’t cost a dime!”

“Yes, I think that would be fine. I don’t judge the LGBT community. There’s nothing wrong with being gay. If a person wants to be comfortable, let them be comfortable with the partner of their choice. Nobody should be treated by the church as an abomination.”

“Yes. If that’s what the people in the community want and need, then I would support that. I don’t see how an apology could be a negative thing. It’s not far-fetched, because the pope has shown support for the LGBT community in the past.”

“As a Jewish person, having a pope that I respect is an unprecedented and amazing thing. Pope Francis is trying really hard to catch up on righting a lot of wrongs the Catholic Church has committed over hundreds of years. So yes, I would expect an apology.”
