It's weird that the Pope's opinions matter right?
Why is it weird? He's the head of one of the largest and most influential religions on earth.
I suppose enough Protestants also dont know theyre supposed to hate the pope just as much if not more than Satan.
Isn't the biblical Satan's whole thing literally just doing Protestant level internal-faith policing, being a celestial prosecuting attorney who tries to put humans on trial for being fake fans?
They invented capitalism and have been too busy wrestling with that demon to remember what they were doing to begin with
Will they give the pope deltarune?
Alesia Mobile seems more hopeful than I would be. "Silence is not consent, Leo is just waiting for the right moment" sounds like incredible cope.
The pope just reaffirmed marriage is only between a man and a woman earlier this year and same sex couples only get "blessings". What rights is Alesia trying to retain? The article doesn't go into the details of what rights that queer folks supposedly even have.
The Pope is not going to openly support same-sex marriage. This has nothing to do with his personal opinion, and everything to do with not wanting another schism.
But, as long as he doesn't call it 'marriage', he can do stuff to make LGBT people's life more tolerable.
Preventing people from leaving his organization is more important then being a homophobe to him, we get it.
We'll see what he does for trans people I guess :shrug-outta-hecks:
Preventing people from leaving the Catholic Church is the prime objective of the Catholic Church. There is a reason it is the biggest church in the world. Anyone elected Pope, whether 'reformist' or 'traditionalist', understands this.

Sounds like any pope is going to be a piece of shit I'm going to hate.
'The Pope' is always going to be shitty. When the person occupying that position is a decent human, they can make it a little less shitty. That's about it. Ultimately it is an institutional problem and it needs an institutional solution.
decent human
homophobe
Pick one. You can't be a bigot and a decent person. And from his words, he's a homophobe. How can you call a fucking bigot who doesn't think I should get the same as a straight person decent?
'The Pope' is not a decent human. It is not even a human. It is a position, one that reflects the views of the entire Catholic Church, from the best to the worst.
So, even if the current person who occupies that position is a decent human (and I don't know if he is; I've never met him), he has to wait for a significant majority of Catholics to accept gay rights before the Catholic Church can 'officially' accept it. Until then, he can unofficially support local churches accepting queer rights, and promote better people, which is basically what Francis also did.
What is he doing to make queer people's lives more tolerable?Also what has he done for trans people? Personally, I just view this as cowardly behavior. Jesus spoke the truth, why can't the Pope?
Most likely he will continue Francis's policy of encouraging national churches to be more open to queer people, and appointing more open-minded people as cardinals wherever it is up to his discretion.
Jesus spoke the truth, why can't the Pope?
Jesus led a small group of people who were personally loyal to him. The Pope leads over a billion people spread across the world, whose beliefs range from 'love thy neighbour' to 'crucify the gays'. And half of them are Catholic only because the rest of their community is. And, contrary to popular belief, the Pope has zero actual power over national churches.
Sounds like the Pope needs to read Proverbs or James. The guy can't even call for queer marriage or trans rights, because he is a coward who is just waiting for the right time who coddles bigots in the meantime.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” – Proverbs 31:8-9
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” – James 4:17
To quote Sir Humphry, to the Church, God is what you might call an optional extra.
