CNN host Don Lemon said that Christians need to re-examine their beliefs and claimed that God doesn't judge people when responding to a statement from the Vatican on same-sex unions.
Lemon, 55, made the theologically questionable comments as a guest on "The View" on Monday
Co-host Meghan McCain quoted a comment from the Vatican saying that the church could not bless same-sex unions because "God cannot bless sin," and asked Lemon, who is openly gay, to respond.
"Do you think this sends a damaging message? How do you feel about that given that obviously you're now engaged and going to get married?" McCain asked.
'Well I think there are, listen, I respect people's right to believe in whatever they want to believe in their God," Lemon claimed.
"But if you believe something that hurts another person, or does not give someone the same rights or freedoms, not necessarily under the Constitution because this is under God," he continued. "I think that this is wrong, and I think that the Catholic Church and many other churches really need to re-examine themselves and their teachings. Because that is not what God is about. God is not about hindering people or even judging people."
'Salir y hacer una barbacoa'
Lemon pasó a poner el tema en el "contexto de la raza" al citar al Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., quien denunció la segregación en las iglesias.
“Así que creo que la religión y el banco nos impiden, en realidad, son barreras para que las personas realmente se conozcan”, continuó Lemon.
“Entonces, le diría al Papa y al Vaticano, y a todos los cristianos o católicos, o a quien sea, sea cual sea la religión en la que creas, tienes que pertenecer, salir y conocer gente y tratar de entender a la gente y hacer lo que dice la Biblia. y lo que Jesús realmente dice, si crees en Jesús, y eso es amar a tu prójimo y no juzgar para que no seas juzgado”, citó erróneamente.
“En lugar de que el banco te estorbe, que la iglesia te estorbe, en lugar de estar segregado en la iglesia y entre ustedes, salgan a hacer un asado”, concluyó. “Y conocer gente y empezar a partir el pan con la gente y conocerlos”.
Algunos cristianos en las redes sociales se opusieron a la versión diluida de Lemon de la enseñanza cristiana histórica.
