Francis has exchanged the truth for a lie... and he worships the creature rather than the Creator.
Sadly the church has damaged itself so badly i think they think a new stream of worshippers…. When in reality the folks the Pope is defending here want nothing to do with the church. So when comments like this come up , the church simply hemmorages more churchgoing folks who see the pandering for what it is.
Trying to blame the shift on normal folks portrayed as extreme conservatives is just politics.
