OUTRAGEOUS-SEE WHTA Elton John Says about Same Sex Marriage #TheElitePartyInJuly #IRepEntertain9jarBlog via @myentertain9jar

In a new interview with Sky News, English
singer-songwriter, Sir Elton John, believes he
knows where Jesus would’ve stood in the same-
sex marriage debate.
The musician, who plans to marry his partner
David Furnish next year, talked to Sky News on
Sunday about how pleased he is with Pope
Francis and how he wishes the Church of
England would show greater support for his
message. John said:

“The new Pope has excited me so much by
his humanity. He’s stripped it down to the
bare bones and said it’s all basically about
love and taking everybody in, inclusiveness.
And that has to be encouraged by the
Church of England.”
So when it comes to issues such as vows of
celibacy for Catholic priests and gay clergymen
being able to marry, John said the church needs
to catch up with the times.
“These are old and stupid things, and the
church hierarchy might be up in arms
about it — the traditionalists — but times
have changed. We live in a different time. If
Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see
him, as the Christian person that he was
and the great person that he was, saying
this could not happen. He was all about love
and compassion and forgiveness and trying
to bring people together, and that is what
the church should be about.”
