Thanks for posting. That’s a great post.

The way I see it, one can look at those words of then Cardinal Ratzinger and Francis’ words in two ways:

In opposition to each other.

Or complimenting each other.

I prefer the latter, unless led otherwise. For example, there’s been a few posts here and there about Francis’ “support for gay unions in Argentina”.(paraphrased)

Anyone wanna provide proof of that? If not, I see no reason to not go with the latter of the two alternatives I gave above. Especially in this season of Lent.

I certainly have no interest in providing proof for it, and I have not made the claim here. But it was reported, with specifics, in the MSM.

On Gay Unions, a Pragmatist Before He Was a Pope

By suggesting in 2010 that the church in Argentina support civil unions for gay couples, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio revealed himself to be a deal maker willing to compromise.
