No he didn't..What he said was "If someone is gay and he searches for the LORD and has good will, who am I to judge"..I think he just said if the guy will confess he is a sinner and not commit homosexual acts then he is not to be judged by the pope...the pope is just another guy who has misunderstood the Bible and it's teachings..He has a position in the public but he is looked upon by God the same as the poor homeless guy who has not accepted Christ as his savior and LORD...
