The Left is trying to destroy Christianity. Or, at least, make the Pope accept whatever they want the pope to accept.

What happened?? The liberals had praised Francis, when he said of homosexuality, “Who am I to judge”? The liberals took this to mean that the church might eventually accept open homosexuality.

Now will the liberals turn on him? We’ll see.

So the Pope is ignoring the gay nomination hoping it goes away...?

How about just saying: No... but thanks anyway...

Send me someone who is not living in open sin...

The usual time frame for their acceptance is a month and a half. After that, a prolonged silence after a nomination is normally interpreted as a rejection.

French governments have a long history of insulting popes.

Philip IV and Pope Boniface VIII.
The Directory and Pope Pius VI.
Napoleon I and Pope Pius VII.

At least Pope Francis won't be beaten up or imprisoned if he refuses to kowtow to the French government.

When you submit your private affairs for public approval don’t be too surprised if you don’t get it.

Pope Francis 'refuses' gay French ambassador

But...but would he bake him a cake?!?

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Honestly, I think the RC Church is way over their quota for gays.

no tapping in the Vatican lavatories.

I’ll ask the same question here that I asked in a similar thread: How do we know that the reason why he was rejected was because he was gay? So far there have been no official statements: the rejection is a rejection because there has been no acceptance.
