[“The new Pope has been wonderful, he’s excited me so much,” Sir Elton said.“He’s stripped it [the Church] down to the bare bones and said it’s all basically about love.”]

 Elton John has said he believes Jesus would be fine with gay marriage if he were alive today. The veteran singer, who plans to marry his civil partner David Furnish next year in a “very quiet” ceremony, told Sky News that in his view, Jesus would accept it because he was “all about love and compassion”.

He claimed that rules preventing gay priests from marrying and requiring Catholic priests to be celibate were “old and stupid”.

“If Jesus 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 told Sky News.

“He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together and that is what the church should be about.”

He praised Pope Francis for making the Catholic Church more about “inclusiveness”, saying that this “has to be encouraged by the Church of England as well”.

He described the pontiff as a “wonderful” man whose tolerance was an example to the Church.

“The new Pope has been wonderful, he’s excited me so much,” Sir Elton said.

“He’s stripped it [the Church] down to the bare bones and said it’s all basically about love.”

Sir Elton previously courted controversy on the subject in 2010 when he declared that Jesus was gay, telling a magazine: “I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.”

The two men are very foolish, how can  two males marry themselves. Is not Jesus Christ tht will support d gay  marriage, it is another Jesus. Mark u Jesus Christ has died  but he is  alive.

Considering that Elton John does NOT go to church, I'm surprised he KNOWS who Jesus is.
