Diego asked the Holy Father if, such as he is today, following his gender-reassignment, there is any place in the house of God for him. And Pope Francis yesterday [Saturday] embraced him in the Vatican. In the presence of his wife [sic], with whom he will form a family soon.

Today his spirit is in peace.

Meanwhile there is no place in the Catholic "house of god" for simple people who interpret the Bible literally.

What a screwed-up religion.

“...simple people who interpret the bible literally...”

Only up to a point: the most important passages are conveniently “symbolic”:

John 6:52. Metaphor? No: see 6:67

On topic: This pope is out of control, a marxist plant. Popes are fallible men. The magisterium’s purpose is to protect authentic catholic doctrine, and this Pope is a fail. However, he has not spoken ex cathedra so the Church’s correct doctrines will survive beyond him, as the bible says - the gates of hell shall not prevail.

.....simple people who interpret the Bible literally.

Christians of all denominations seek guidance from their pastors and ministers in literally interpreting the Bible. That's why there are churches for people who read the Bible for themselves.

The Catholic church is a central authority. No doubt about that. OTOH, there would not be a Bible as we know it today, if the Catholics had not preserved it, even if they did not exactly encourage everyone to read it for themselves! (Or worse, punish them!)

Don't knock the team our ancestors used to play for just because we've moved on to another league.
