After the Vatican revealed Friday that Pope Francis’ meeting with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis did not constitute “support,” the Vatican revealed yet another juicy tidbit about the Pope’s trip: he requested a meeting with a homosexual couple.
According to CNN, Pope Francis explicitly requested a meeting with Yayo Grassi and his partner Iwan. Francis hugged Grassi and Iwan for the cameras. According to Grassi, Francis initiated the meeting: “Three weeks before the trip, he called me on the phone and said he would love to give me a hug.”
Furthermore, the Vatican, in disowning the Davis meeting, explained, “The only real audience by the Pope at the nunciature was with one of his former students and his family.”...
...That language is quite telling: describing Iwan as Grassi’s “family,” as the statement suggests, acknowledges that homosexual couples are families, a major departure from Catholic teaching.

Time for a “Reset” in Roma?
You forgot Hootenanny.
Grassi was a former student of Pope Francis, I understand.
Hug?! front to front? back to back? or ?????
Considering what FReeper Catholics feel about Bible Belt Protestants, is anyone really surprised?
PLEASE take your hateful rhetoric somewhere else.
Amazing Race has the racers going to the church where the Pope was baptized for a task if anyone wants to see what it looks like. You know that church is not going to let those racers run through the church.
A task is going to relate to his cardboard program to clean up the city.
It’s about to get a whole lot worse. The scuttlebutt is that there’s a priest at the CDF who’s “coming out” tomorrow (or today).
As disappointed as I am, this has nothing to do with papal infallibility.
It’s all over twitter... “CDF priest: “I am a gay priest. I am happy and proud gay priest. My joy and freedom is dedicated to a man whom I love, Eduard, my boyfriend””...
“Fr. Charamsa, Polish theologian at CDF, will “come out” tomorrow & release homo manifesto. Says his boyfriend gave him strength to do this.”
“CDF priest manifesto will “demand the Church cancel several documents and teaching points talking about homosexuality.””
As soon as I get a link in English I’ll post a thread... or maybe I’ll just go to the movies and pretend this isn’t happening.
I am not supposed to say God Bless to situations such as this, but God Bless.
H-U-G
Alphabet is
abcdef G H ijk
Normal is G before H.
Hug is H before G, so ...
The Pope’s HUG is ABNORMAL.
Interpret as necessary.
It’s a sad day when the Westboro Baptist Church is demonstrably closer to having the Catholic senus fidei than the Pope.
“You can please some people all of the time and all people some of the time, but you cannot please all people all of the time.”
The pope has come pretty close to displeasing everyone. He may be able to pull it off. Give him time.
