Pope
Francis addresses a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress in the House of
Representatives Chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. September
24, 2015.
Pope Francis has spoken out on his famous remark
in 2013 when he said "Who am I to judge?" about gay people, by
clarifying that Christians can show them the way and walk with them, but
insisted that the Church
does not condemn people.
Francis' thoughts were included in a new interview book titled The Name of God is Mercy,
to be released in 80 countries on Tuesday, which will include his
reflections on a number of other issues concerning the
Roman Catholic
Church as well.
