“No,” Donohue said on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday when asked if he would apologize. “As a matter of fact, I want an apology from gays. I’ve been assaulted by gays. I’ve never assaulted a gay person in my entire life.”

Donohue then insisted that the media twisted Pope Francis’ words.

The pope over the weekend was asked if he feels the Catholic church owes an apology to gay people. Pope Francis said that gay people can be denounced for behaviors that are “a bit offensive for others.”

But he added, “I think the church must not only apologize … to a gay person it offended, but we must apologize to the poor, to women who have been exploited, to children forced into labor, apologize for having blessed so many weapons.”

Donohue noted that Pope Francis also said, “The church must say it is sorry for not having behaved as it should many times, many times — when I say ‘the church,’ I mean we Christians, because the church is holy; we are the sinners.”

Donohue argued that the Pope did not call on the Catholic church to apologize, but individual Christians who have offended gay people.

Apparently, the Pope isn’t Catholic or something… And bigots want to preserve their rights to be bigoted.
