We were the first to break the news in English at the time: the Pope granted a hidden audience to a same-sex couple (that is, two homosexual women) constituted of a transexual woman (who, after much transformation and hormones, uses the alias "Diego", and who complained of not being welcomed in her parish) and her "fiancée"...

Which is which? ;-)
the gays have taken over the Anglican/Episcopal Church and now the Catholic Church. God is going to be very angry....
Just as Obama will be a permanent stain in American history, Francis will be the bane of RC's from now on. Keep in mind he was voted in. That means the Cardinals feel he was what RC's needed for the "new" day coming. The Bible speaks of "falling away" of the church in the Last days.
That ongoing scandal is often referred to as "pedophile priests" but it is rarely really pedophilia. Pedophilia is not about "under legal age", it's about prepubesence. The victims in the church abuse scandal were, to a large extent, young teen boys. To me this isn't pedophilia, it's gay. So let's not call it the pedophilia scandal, let's call it the gay rape scandal. And if we do that, it would tell us that the gays actually took over the church a long time ago but had to keep it secret. They almost wrecked the church once with their disgusting appetites but they were protected by the heirarchy so that tells us a lot about them.
But now they feel free to proselytize about their gayness. In one of the worst ironies possible, the gay priests wounded to church so gravely that they made it possible for it to be openly dominated by, of all things, gay priests. So the problem was gay priests and the solution is MORE gay priests. Somehow I predict this will fail.
We all have sinned and need Christ as our Redeemer, Catholics and Protestants alike. But we don't need the highest ranking cleric of either persuasion even appearing to sanction the sinful, unnatural, biblically forbidden practices of homosexual couples that our judiciary now calls "marriage".
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this one photo of Pope Francis and a "gay" couple indicates that he approves homosexual marriage, I seriously doubt that he does. But it does seem, to me at least, to question the propriety of him allowing publication of a photo that may suggest to some people that homosexual "marriage" is something other than a damnable perversion of the divinely created institution of holy matrimony. Just because four women and one wishy-washy man say that it's a guaranteed right doesn't make it so.
The best you could hope for is someone in the mold of Donald Trump to replace him...But since there is no democracy in your religion, you are at the mercy of the same people who put Francis into office...Future of the Catholic religion looks bleak...
If the Pope visits San Francisco, he’ll have a meeting with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Maybe he’ll even march with them in the Gay Pride Parade.
There is nothing in the Code of Canon Law about removing the Pope. But nothing can stop good Catholics from doing their best to expose his frauds and lies.
You win this week’s MOTTRAMISM award!

Sounds like every Catholic is his own Pope.
“Diego” doesn’t “still” have a mustache. “Diego” is a woman. The couple are a pair of Lesbians, one of whom has had an addadictomy and been shot full of hormones.
Little old me? I never win anything! Is there a cash prize?
...”Gays have some weird obsession with the catholic church”...
Well for centuries they could practice and find protection in the catholic church so of course it’s a safe haven for them. Now the church has “accepted” homosexuals simply asking them not to practice their sexual relations.......the next step will be to allow Priests to marry...thus homosexuals will also...just a patter of time.
Thanks for straightening me out; things are getting so complicated! ...
Donald Trump? Not sure he is a good role model for the papacy. He has been married numerous times and his favorite subject is himself and his poll ratings.
I think the two previous popes were better role models.
I didn't say "fondness", I said "obsession". They mock it continuously. They have disdain for Christianity in general but the Catholic church gets the bulk of their mockery. Think drag queens in nun habits, for example. That's not a sign of any sort of fondness or recognition that somehow the Catholic church has a special place in the gay community's hearts.
I never understood it because the Catholic church has never in my lifetime made an issue of homosexuality. I say this after 12 years of catholic education and decades of church going. Never have I heard the word "homosexual" or "gay" in any official catholic context until now. They never condemn it, they never discuss it in homilies, they don't teach about it as a sin in catholic education, it's like it simply doesn't exist in official Catholicism. Maybe that's intentional, sweep it under a rug lest they have to confront their own dirty laundry. Nevertheless, it's 100% not an issue in catholic teaching.
So why are the gays so damned obsessed with it? If they need a symbol to mock there are other denominations that actually are opposed to homosexuality. But they pick on catholics.

Where have you been?....here’s just a small portion regarding homosexuality....
Pope John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor of 1993, which “specifically proclaims the intrinsic evil of the homosexual condition” rejecting the view of some theologians who questioned the basis on which the church condemns as morally unacceptable “direct sterilization, autoeroticism, pre-marital sexual relations, homosexual relations and artificial insemination”.
In 1997, the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued a letter to the world’s bishops giving guidelines for candidates for the seminary stipulating, “sufficient affective maturity and a clearly masculine sexual identity.” It reiterated the policy in 2002: “Ordination to the diaconate and the priesthood of homosexual men or men with homosexual tendencies is absolutely inadvisable and imprudent and, from the pastoral point of view, very risky. A homosexual person, or one with a homosexual tendency is not, therefore, fit to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders.”
In 1975, the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued the document Persona humana dealing with sexual ethics. It stated that acceptance of homosexual activity was against the church’s teaching and morality.
The Council of London in 1102, called at the urging of Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, explicitly denounced homosexual behavior as a sin for the first time at an English council.
Canon 14 of the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. .. stated that if a priest suspended for unchastity of any kind - especially the vice that “on account of which the anger of God came from heaven upon the children of unbelief” (that is sodomy) - dared to celebrate Mass then he was to be deposed permanently from the priesthood.
Scandalous Past of Msgr. Ricca is Confirmed
Fr. (Don) Michele de Paolis concelebrated Mass with Pope Francis at the Domus Santa Martha and then presented the pontiff with gifts of a wooden chalice and paten and a copy of his most recent book, Dear Don Michele - questions to an inconvenient priest. In a previous book, Don Michele wrote, homosexual love is a gift from (God) no less than heterosexual.
It is true that Radcliffe has "opposed" "gay marriage", but his farcical "opposition" rests on grounds entirely contrary to those of the Church: Radcliffe opposes it because, in his words: "'gay marriage' ultimately, we believe, demeans gay people by forcing them to conform to the straight world."
I never could figure out why, if a woman hated men, she would want a relationship with a woman who was so man-like.
In short, in all the years I attended mass or attended Catholic school, if a homosexual was sitting next to me he never heard word one that he might have found judgmental of him. Not once.
Maybe the gays are really into reading the official Vatican letters, documents, and reports. Guess that would explain it.
