The Vatican has longed maintained the stance of 'hate the sin love the sinner', and go to endless lengths to make sure people know it's God's evaluation of gays and atheists, not their own. Tossing on a former FOX News PR guy (not a joke, Francis had a FOX News PR guy hired specifically for his papacy) doesn't make a difference to me.I don't want to keep us in agreement for too long F&F. I think you're wrong about saying that it's not their evaluation. As christians, they are already committed to agreeing with God's evaluation. "Hate the sin and love the sinner" has been Jesus' stance from the beginning. Pope Francis is trying to convey the message more clearly from the church that God loves atheists and homosexuals.
