From The National "Catholic" Reporter:
"Gay Catholic leaders have expressed their pleasure following reports that Pope Francis, in an unprecedented move, met last week with a transgender Spaniard at the Vatican.
While the Vatican has yet to confirm the meeting, it has been widely reported in the press, and there has been no Vatican denial.
'I think that his meeting with the transgender man was a gesture not only of pastoral care, but of genuine interest in learning about the transgender experience from a firsthand source,' Francis DeBernardo, executive director of New Ways Ministry, told NCR in an email.
Said New Ways Ministry's co-founder Sr. Jeannine Gramick: 'Jorge Mario Bergoglio's devotion to Mary, Untier of Knots, found expression in Pope Francis' embrace of the transgender Spaniard.'

Pope Francis prepping the Roman Catholic Church to be the harlot of Revelation and doing such an excellent job following the script too...
It is a bit creepy.
I myself am living in now very earthquake-prone Kansas. Go figure.
Freakout time is when the temple is rebuilt.
That can never happen.
But he is the worst Pope in 500 years.
Transgendered folks need to be treated with kindness and understanding. But primarily, the need to be treated.
He was saying all the “right things” when he first started. He sure sounds like someone I know...

I agree but I can’t condone the behavior. What they do in secret can be harmful to others, especially if children are involved. They are very sick individuals. Most people that defend them don’t know the levels of depravity they can sink to.
Francis (the talking mule) may be a little light in his loafers, hence the attraction that the perverted class of deranged humans has for him.
Francis’ Satan-given task is to complete the destruction of the Roman Catholic Church and the creation of the new modernist-Secular religion that began with Vatican II.
When God told Jonah to go and carry His message to those in Nineveh, Jonah considered them to be too bad to deserve a chance at redemption. Jonah tried to run in the other direction - how did that work out?
I am starting to believe that many that identify as Christians have no real concept of how God would have them respond to sinners so they opt to stare down their noses and write them off as lost souls so they can feel more "godly" themselves. The pharisees are still alive and well and the words of Christ calling them hypocrites rings loudly and widely.
If many Christians were doctors, they would tell the ill to heal themselves then come in to tell us how it went...
The very face of evil.
I missed the part where Jesus embraced and attempted to “understand” homosexuals.
You missed much more than that ...

I think he would have embraced the homosexuals. Jesus embraced the prostitutes, the adulteress, the tax collectors, but unlike Francis, He said to go and sin no more.
I seriously doubt He’d have anything to do with homos. If He did, it would have been documented.
Prostitution is sinful, but it does not violate God’s natural law. Jesus did not embrace prostitution rather individuals who repented from prostitution. There is no acceptance of homosexuality anywhere in the Bible.
Can’t this guy ever shut up?
Jesus died for all of us. When he said go and sin no more, He meant it. I didn’t mean he embraced the sin. Of course He didn’t.
I don’t think there were homosexuals and trannies around Jesus either. It seems to happen mostly in more affluent societies.
I don’t like the way Francis met the trannies behind closed doors. It seems like an acceptance of their lifestyle rather than to counsel them to follow Jesus. He could have met them behind closed doors, but should have followed it with an open dialogue. The way he did it, it makes it looked like he accepts the lifestyle and I think he does after reading what his solution for pedophile priests has been. He just moves them around.
“They [the homosexuals] not only fail from resisting the weakness [of fallen human nature] .... but they do even worse when they commit the cursed sin against nature. Like the blind and stupid, having dimmed the light of their understanding, they do not recognize the disease and misery in which they find themselves. For this not only causes Me nausea, but is disgusting even to the devils themselves whom these depraved creatures have chosen as their lords.”
“For Me this sin against nature is so abominable that for it alone five cities were destroyed by virtue of the judgment of My Divine Justice, which could no longer bear their iniquity .... “
“It is disgusting to the devils not because evil displeases them or because they find pleasure in good, but rather because their nature is angelic and flees upon seeing such a repulsive sin being committed. For while certainly it is the devil that first strikes the sinner with the poisoned arrow of concupiscence, nonetheless when a man actually carries out such a sinful act, the devil goes away.”

I have no doubt Jesus, like this Pope, would have met with this tranny.
I also have no doubt Jesus would have cast out the demon afflicting him and/or told him to go and sin no more.
I think he would have embraced the homosexuals. Jesus embraced the prostitutes, the adulteress, the tax collectors, but unlike Francis, He said to go and sin no more.
