Performer criticises law that prevents gay clergy marrying but praises Pope Francis and work by the archbishop of Canterbury
- The Guardian, Monday 30 June 2014 02.06 AEST
Jesus would have been a supporter of gay marriage, Sir Elton John has claimed.
The musician, who plans to marry his civil partner David Furnish next year in a “very quiet” ceremony, said that rules preventing gay clergy from marrying and requiring Catholic priests to be celibate were “old and stupid things”.
He told Sky News’s Murnaghan programme: “The church hierarchy, the traditionalists, might be up in arms about it but times have changed.
“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.”
Sir Elton said he believed the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, was “doing a good job” and Pope Francis was “wonderful”.
“He’s excited me so much by his humanity,” the singer said of the pope.
“He’s taken everything down to the humility of faith.
“He’s stripped it down to the bare bones and said it’s all basically about love and inclusiveness. That has to be encouraged by the Church of England as well.”
The performer offered to introduce Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to members of the gay community earlier this year to show the impact of “deeply divisive” legislation.
He said he plans to meet with the Russian leader when he visits the country in November.
He added: “It’s no good putting up a wall and saying I’m not talking to these people; the only way things get solved is by talking to people.”
John said that he and his partner were not able to get married until next year because they were already in a civil partnership.
He said the marriage would be “very quiet and very off the cuff” as the couple had a big celebration for their civil union.

Coercion Code - "Dark Times are upon us" 
yep cause he sure knows what the Lord thinks and what his belief is on this. What he said proves he doesn’t. Yeshua is forgiving, compassionate,loving yes. But that is when we repent of our sin, and are willing to give it up. God is the same yesterday,today and forever. His bible has not changed. Nor did he change his mind on what he called sin. What he called sin in the old testament is still sin today. It’s only the humans who want to get away with their sins, or who want to convince themselves and others, that what they do is not sin. One day Elton will stand before the Lord. And he will find out exactly what the Lord thinks, and feels about his lifestyle. And he will have to give an account for his words. Cause its blasphemy to a Holy God. Scary to be in his shoes.
But He approves of the Pope? How about that? Elton John, Rick Warren and Joel Osteen, now there’s an image for you.
well birds of a feather sure do flock together :). And no doubt they are all willing participants in the building of the nwo. You don’t become a Sir without being something to the illuminati. Each one is playing their part, doing their thing, saying what they need to say to condition the humans out there, who don’t have clue . So they can lead them into satans den forevermore. Judgement day sure is going to be the most amazing, scary truthful day in the history of the world. Where every unrepentant sin will be laid bare. Everything that has been covered, and hidden will be uncovered. The world will finally find out the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And most will be shocked, as to what they thought wasn’t sinful, was indeed. And who they admired and thought was oh so wonderful and talented, were really evil to the core. The illuminati is full of such people, and they are worshipped and adored by so many in the world.Apart from the scriptures that already give Gods view on homosexuality. The one thing to show its not the way God created humans to be, is that it breaks the first command God gave to Adam and Eve. He told them to go forth and procreate. Homosexuals cant procreate with the same sex. They always need to go to the opposite sex to do that. If it was natural and normal , then they should be able to procreate with the same sex. That should speak volumes to the world. But it doesn’t , only because satan has blinded the minds and hearts of people, to believe the lie he told. And that is they were born this way, and that its completely the way God wants them to be, and they are not sinning. My God already said , they would not enter his Kingdom in his Word. Just like he said others wouldn’t either, and he also named them. If they were born that way, then it makes God very cruel indeed to be sending them to hell, for something, that they would not be responsible for. But God is not a God that he should lie. And they will all find out the very hard way, that satan has indeed lied to them, and he is the one behind their sins.Just like satan is behind every sin mankind does. And Elton will find out his words he spoke were nothing more than words from the pit of hell, not the Kingdom of Heaven. BTW homosexuality is rife in the illuminati and satanic rituals. And via sodomy the most powerful demons are transferred from one to another.And if the illuminati want to make a man effeminate and a homosexual, they can make sure the mother is given hormones in utero to pass onto the unborn child.Satan is not stupid he knows how to get a person to sin, keep a person sinning, and transform their mind, so they will believe what they are doing is ok and not sin.And he has many many ways to do just that. Im just a very blessed person to finally be out of the clutches of the satanic cult, and satan himself. But growing up in it, sure taught me things about satan and sin most christians have no idea about.
