The Pope NEVER approved same sex marriage. We aren’t the Anglican church that has parishoners voting on what they want to do.

What part of the media lies, don’t people get? Fake Christians misrepresenting Catholic doctrine, and Peter’s and his successors messages, have existed since Jesus’ death.

Media lies have existed since at least 1522.

No, but he did approve the statement I quoted in my previous post (a statement which attributes a good to an intrinsic evil) and had it published on the Vatican website.

Does not such a statement published by the Pope ipso facto undermine doctrine by misleading and confusing the faithful?

Should we accept such an error in lieu of perennial truth because the Pope is the one promulgating it, or should we adhere to the constant teachings of the Church? Since when is the Pope's opinion above Divine Law?

"Error beginneth by feigning to stand well with the truth; presently it raileth at her, as an evil. And when a lie triumpheth, it will persecute truth as an enemy." - Fr. Gabriel Palau, S.J., "The Active Catholic"
