@Pled_Pfeffer I don’t know what exactly is so surprising about my opinion of the pope. I don’t care that he is intelligent. His intelligence is irrelevant. My opposition to the pope is his inability to understand true equality, instead of this obvious discrimination disguised as wishy washy equality. The pope has made NO steps whatsoever to welcome LGBT to the Catholic community.
This idea at the Catholic Church will one day change, is never going to happen. They’ve been around for over 2,000 years and as far as I’m concerned it’s run out of time. The time to embrace equality is not in another century or even a decade, the time is now. It is clear the the pope has no intention of making the necessary changes to embrace actual equality within his church.
This is what the pope had to say in his report on “the family”:
“In discussing the dignity and mission of the family, the Synod Fathers observed that, as for proposals to place unions between homosexual persons on the same level as marriage, there are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage and family.”
He also made comments stating that gay people should receive “assistance” to bring them back to normality .. ” I can only imagine what that might mean. He’s not only bigoted against homosexuals, he clearly lacks an understanding of them. There is no coming back to normality, we have no on and off switch.
