We spent time two years ago with a long time same sex attracted friend and his then partner and as we left told them to take care of each other and told them God Bless. They knew that I did not approve of them but about the same time I said the same thing to my son and the woman he was living with. (they have since broken up) and felt that in each case it was appropriate. I would not have gone to the friend’s “wedding.” Our other same sex attracted friend has told use that marriage is for procreation and he would never try to procreate without being married to a woman. Both these men are conservative pro life people. They hate Obama.
Not sure what that has to do with Pope Francis countering actions of the late Pope John Paul II
