So, nice try, Rah. I do note, that Francis says, 'no women priests'. What do you think about that?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

The pope continued by talking about how "many times in the church, outside this case, but also in this one, we go searching for the sins -- of one's youth, for example -- for publicity. I'm not talking about crimes here -- the abuse of a minor is a crime -- but of sins."
"But if a person, whether a layperson, priest or sister, goes to confession and converts, the Lord forgives. And when the Lord forgives, he forgets. This is important," he said, because those who want the Lord to forget their sins should forget those of others."
Or this part?
A gay person who is seeking God, who is of good will -- well, who am I to judge him?" the pope said. "The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well. It says one must not marginalize these persons, they must be integrated into society. The problem isn't this (homosexual) orientation -- we must be like brothers and sisters. The problem is something else, the problem is lobbying either for this orientation

I don't ever remember endorsing it. I have never done it, nor plan too. I just don't judge those that do. That's consistent with what the Pope seems to be saying. You just let your hatred twist it.
I don't know how you can call yourself a catholic, but it's not place to judge that. NOR IS IT YOURS you *******.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Ah, Ben. Intellectually dishonest to the last are you... the first quote is from a different question and the full quote of the second part is:
Addressing the issue of the gay lobby, Pope Francis said it was important to "distinguish between a person who is gay and someone who makes a gay lobby," he said. "A gay lobby isn't good."
"A gay person who is seeking God, who is of good will -- well, who am I to judge him?" the pope said. "The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well. It says one must not marginalize these persons, they must be integrated into society. The problem isn't this (homosexual) orientation -- we must be like brothers and sisters. The problem is something else, the problem is lobbying either for this orientation or a political lobby or a Masonic lobby."“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Saw this article this morning and thought, wow, it's the anti-Ben.
John Boswell was a historian and religious Catholic who dedicated much of his scholarly life to studying the late Roman Empire and early Christian Church. Poring over legal and church documents from this era, he discovered something incredible. There were dozens of records of church ceremonies where two men were joined in unions that used the same rituals as heterosexual marriages.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

the Church reframed the idea of marriage in the 13th century to be for the purposes of procreation
Boswell admits that some of the documents he found may refer simply to non-sexual joining of two men's fortunes
Boswell has some serious critical research failures.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
