"According to the legislation, they cannot partake in (some) sacraments. This does not mean that it is closed. Each person encounters God in their own way inside the Church," he said.
No it just means they're lesser people in your eyes. Eat a dick Francis
Until both genders receive equal representation, clergy are allowed to marry, and the pedophiles are chased out, the church apologizes for spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories that helped get millions killed, return the land and wealth they've stolen, you know what, fuck it, burn it all down.
Never forget the Canadian Indian residential schools where tens of thousands of kids were murdered.
Or the church’s prohibition on birth control which lead to the African AIDS epidemic.
Or the other million bat-shit crazy morally evil things they’ve accomplished over time
Pope recognized residential schools as genocide before the Canada gov did
credit where credit is due. thanks for mentioning that. I don't view the church isn't wholly evil, but they've manipulated people into negative directions so many times I just can't see them as anything other than a determent to modern society. if they (the excitedly religious) would just stay in their own lane and make rules for themselves and not absolutely everyone dear fucking God what a greater world this would be.
As of today the Church are still largely a bunch of either pedophiles, or pedophile apologists\protectors. They'll are gunna burn, no matter what thoughts or prayers they offer up.
Silly man in silly hat says silly thing.
You’re welcome except for all those rules which say that you are not welcome.
Who gives a shit what organized childfuckers think about anything?
How generous
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Sunday that the Catholic Church is open to everyone, including the gay community, and that it has a duty to accompany them on a personal path of spirituality but within the framework of its rules.
Francis, speaking to reporters on the plane returning to Rome from Portugal, also said his health was good following surgery for an abdominal hernia in June.
Flying back from the World Youth Day Catholic festival in Portugal, the 86-year-old pope appeared in good form as he took questions for about half an hour at his customary freewheeling post-trip press conference while seated at the front of the reporters' section in the rear part of the plane.
One reporter reminded him that during the trip, he said the Church was open to "everyone, everyone, everyone" and asked if it was not incoherent that some, such as women and gay people, did not have the same rights and could not receive some sacraments.
Since the start of his papacy, Francis has been trying to make the Church more welcoming and less condemning, including to members of the LGBT community, but without changing teachings that urge those with same-sex attraction to be chaste.
Francis has pushed a series of reforms since he became pope 10 years ago, including giving more roles to women, particularly in high-ranking Vatican positions, but faces a delicate balance between appealing to more liberal believers and upsetting conservatives.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
No thanks.
