Smoke of Satan...LOL
Christ taught to hate the sin not the sinner. He's not condoning homosexuality or abortion, far from it.
He's simply letting people know that salvation is available to all who seek it. Just like Christ did.
Christ was criticized for associating with tax collectors and other people of low moral standing.
His answer was that healthy people do not need a physician, it is the sick who need one.
If I had to guess, I believe this Pope is less judgmental than many of his predecessors. He believes in Church doctrine, but maintains that the church's primary focus should be spreading the gospel & helping the poor.
He is simply using Jesus' example as a guide and adjusting the church's priorities accordingly.
