Before Congress... “...I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.” Pope
But he or any pope has not told people they must support only pro life pro family politicians or be excommunicated.
He/They have never said that voting for a whole host of anti Christian principals will separate them from the Love of God
He wont stand up and be counted and say how he feels about Kim Davis, he is a dishonest man
I am not sure if the Pope/Vatican are concerned about the unborn child or about the removal of God Christ from classroom/public square, nor am I convinced they care if children are taught that homosexuality is a option for them.
I dont believe any of them lose sleep over any of that.
It may be that they do not want to tell the Church in North America this because they fear the Church would lose more than half of their members, they might at that.
But shows were their heart must be, in the collection plate?
