Pope “clarifies” homosexuality remarks for Fr. Martin

Pope Francis has written a letter to Fr. James Martin to clarify his comments on sin and homosexuality from a recent interview. “When I said it is a sin,” the pope wrote, “I was simply referring to Catholic moral teaching, which says that every sexual act outside of marriage is a sin.” He added that “of course, one must also consider the circumstances, which may decrease or eliminate fault.”
