ABC News: Pope Francis Comments on Gay Priests, Homosexuality: 'Who Am I to JudgeSource:ABC News– Pope Francis of Argentina.

“New pontiff also makes surprising statements about gay believers.”

From ABC News

I don’t want to make too much of this and overplay it, but Pope Francis’s statement of “who am I to judge”, referring to homosexuals, is exactly what it means to be a Liberal and what liberalism is about.

What the Pope is essentially saying here, is that it’s one’s sexuality that determines if one is moral or not, but their character and who they are as a person.

I use the American Liberal photo as the cover photo for this blog, because that’s exactly what I am. And no, not in the stereotypical, sort of pop culture sense of what an American Liberal is supposed to be. But someone who represents what American liberalism, as well as European liberalism, and perhaps the liberalism of the rest of the world outside of the United States. Liberals are people who believe in defense of liberal democracy, as well as the preservation of liberal democracy. And of course we also believe in liberal democracy with all the individual rights, and other liberal values that come from liberal democracy, the liberal democratic form of government, like equal opportunity, equal rights, equal justice, property rights, individual freedom and freedom of choice for everybody, as well as limited but responsible government, and fiscal responsibility
