Any truth to this? Thoughts?

A gay French man says Pope Francis called him to tell him his sexual orientation doesn’t matter and that “we are all children of God.”

Christophe Trutino, a 25-year-old sales assistant from Toulouse, told France’s La Depeche du Midi that he received a call from Francis on Aug. 29 after penning a letter to the pontiff. As a gay Catholic man, Trutino said he has struggled with bullying and self-doubt throughout his life. So, he decided to write Francis – who he believes is a different sort of pope – a letter about his troubles.

I would like to see this news in Catholic News Agency or Zenit…may have been taken out of context. Love the sinner ~ hate the sin.

It would appear that this call (if a call actually was made) did not come from our Holy Father but a papal impersonator. See:
