Pope Francis Calls For Fresh Attitude Toward Children Of Gay And Divorced Parents

Pope Francis continues to show his love and compassion for all. He warns that the church needs to be careful in the way it regards the children of gays and of divorced parents, saying it’s important not to administer “a vaccine against faith.”

“On an educational level, gay unions raise challenges for us today which for us are sometimes difficult to understand,” Francis said in a speech to the Catholic Union of Superiors General in November, extracts of which were published on Italian media websites on Saturday.

“The number of children in schools whose parents have separated is very high,” he said, adding that family make-ups were also changing.

“I remember a case in which a sad little girl confessed to her teacher: ‘my mother’s girlfriend doesn’t love me’,” he was quoted as saying.

The pontiff said educational leaders should ask themselves “how can we proclaim Christ to a generation that is changing?”

“We must be careful not to administer a vaccine against faith to them,” the 77-year-old added.
