Pope says psychiatrists can help gay children

Rome : Pope Francis has recommended parents seek psychiatric help for children who show homosexual tendencies, during a press conference on his plane to Rome from Ireland.

A journalist asked the pontiff what he would say to parents who observe homosexual traits in their children. “I would say first of all pray, not to condemn, to dialogue, to understand, to give space to the son or the daughter,” he responded. Parents must also consider the age of their child, he said.
