Gay member of Vatican commission: I feel he'll repair this
SANTIAGO, Chile (ChurchMilitant.com) - Juan Carlos Cruz, a gay journalist and survivor of clerical sexual abuse, is claiming that Pope Francis is "hurt" by the Vatican's Feb. 22 declaration affirming Catholic teachings on marriage and human sexuality — despite having endorsed the declaration.
"I spoke with the pope," Cruz told Chile's La Tercera newspaper in an April 10 article, adding, "I don't want to betray a confidence, but I know that the pope is a man who is very hurt by this, although ultimately he is responsible."
It was Cruz who in 2018 told various media that Francis commented about his homosexuality, "God has made you like this." Cruz identifies as a Catholic.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) released the declaration as a response to doubts raised about the Church's teaching regarding gay couples. Its responsum ad dubium, or reply to a doubt, declared that God "does not and cannot bless sin," thus heading off calls to bless same-sex unions coming from various Catholic leaders, including many German prelates.
The Vatican's doctrinal watchdog arm reiterated "the Church does not have, and cannot have, the power to bless unions of persons of the same sex." It added, the Church "does not have the power over God's designs" and is "not the arbiter of these designs and the truths they express, but their faithful interpreter and witness." The blessing of such unions, the document clarified, is "illicit" and "unlawful."

Is he butthurt? I mean, deep to the core?
Not only does the left hand not know what the right hand is doing, the right hand doesn’t seem to know either.
The Pope must be clutching his pillow all night. Poor guy is very butt-hurt by such talk against sodomy.
It really says a lot more about him than anything else.
THIS kind of stuff is the stuff that bothers him. Its far more telling about him.
We talk of the pope having his feelings hurt?!? Gone is the dignity, the sanctity, the leadership of the “Holy Father.”
“It was Cruz who in 2018 told various media that Francis commented about his homosexuality...”
Is anyone surprised that the Pope is gay?
Yes, very sad. The imPopester has disgraced the Chair of Peter.
Don’t let that mean old Bible get in the way of your feeeeelings, Frankie.
How in the world did the catholic church get stuck with this charlatan?

The same way we got stuck w/XiDen.
This pope is a heretic
Same way they’ve had bad Popes in the past....
How in the world did the catholic church get stuck with this charlatan?
There was this reptile-like thing who sparked some interest in a chick sometime back, and the chick’s dude got involved and things went down bad.
And then there was this guy who’s father decided to let wheat and tares grow together, after an earlier plan to drown most of the tares proved ineffective, as it turns out that most human hearts are torn.
And then Christ decided to found his Church on a dude whom he had nick-named “Cinder block head” (dynamic translation).
Mercy bestowed on people who irritate us can be sanctifying, or it can be irritating.
Same phenomenon of all institutions, they move left.
