Report: Pope Judges Gay Ambassador Candidate Unacceptable
The Vatican has yet to accept France's candidate for ambassador and sources report Pope Francis nixed him because he's gay.
The Vatican has reportedly rejected an ambassadorial candidate from France because he is gay, with Pope Francis apparently making the decision himself.
While the pope is famous for his Who am I to judge? comment regarding gay priests, he has judged gay diplomat Laurent Stéfanini unacceptable as Frances representative at the Vatican, reports French weekly Le Journal du Dimanche, as translated by The New Civil Rights Movement.
It was a decision by the pope himself, a Vatican source told Le Journal du Dimanche, according to the translation.
French President François Hollande chose Stéfanini as ambassador to the Vatican in January to replace Bruno Jouvert, but the Vatican has yet to give the candidate formal diplomatic approval, The Washington Post reports. Any host nation is free to refuse an ambassadorial candidate and does not have to give a reason.
