I covered the same subject.  Francis goofed on sinners. A sinner is one who does evil with the intent to do evil. Unrepentant. He’s using the term generically. No SINNER can go to Heaven.

Other sins besides homosexuality

Re “Cartoonist’s take Francis” (Gays) All welcome (Aug. 2):

The church has always reached out to sinners, but does not condone sinful behavior. In as much as homosexual behavior ranks among the capital sins, so does oppression of the poor and defrauding laborers of their wages. I seldom hear the level of outrage leveled at gays which should be equally leveled at these other two capital sins just as prevalent in today’s society, if not more so.
