Pope Francis Is 'Worried' About Priesthood Homosexuality Pope Francis made his anxieties about homosexuality clear in a recent interview with a Spanish missionary. "In our societies, it even seems homosexuality is fashionable,"
he said. "And this mentality, in some way, also influences the life of the Church." The pontiff then stressed that there is "no room for this" in the duties of priests and nuns. It's not the first time the religious leader has spoken about homosexuality in the church. In 2013, Pope Francis clarified the church's belief that homosexual behaviors were sinful but the orientation was not. Pope Francis, to media during flight from Brazil, via BBC
