QUOTE TO NOTE: Antonio Banderas on Homophobes and Pope Francis
Movie star Antonio Banderas recently spoke out in support of LGBT people and about his hopes for the papacy of Pope Francis. LatinTimes.com reported his statements:
“To those who believe that homosexuals are sick people, I would say that the real sufferers are the homophobes. Those who judge others from an irrational and intolerant point of view are those who really have a serious problem that must be solved . In this sense, I think that homosexuals lead a much healthier life. . . .
“I think the Catholic Church more needs to pay more attention to the real needs of the people are, and hopefully the arrival of a Latin American pope will help Catholics evolve and be better connected with others. Pope Francis helps the institution to make huge strides in this area.”
–Francis DeBernardo, New Ways Ministry
