Pope Francis has repeatedly delivered mixed signals, often seeming to significantly depart from Church teaching regarding the pastoring of individuals afflicted with homosexuality and transgenderism.


Pope Francis greets Juan Carlos Cruz, an openly homosexual man whom he appointed to the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors

VATICAN CITY, June 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – On Saturday Pope Francis greeted Juan Carlos Cruz, an openly homosexual man whom he appointed to the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors earlier this year at the Vatican. Cruz is himself a victim of clerical sexual abuse.

“Today I thanked Pope Francis for my appointment and reaffirmed my commitment to continue helping survivors of sexual abuse around the world,” said Cruz in a Tweet on Saturday.

Pope Francis’ long history of mixed signals regarding homosexuality and transgenderism

Pope Francis has repeatedly delivered mixed signals, often seeming to significantly depart from Church teaching regarding the pastoring of individuals afflicted with homosexuality and transgenderism.

Over the course of his pontificate, Pope Francis has given indications that he is not concerned with addressing homosexual activity according to Church teaching as inherently disordered and intrinsically evil. In the last few years, he has signalled support for legal recognition of same-sex unions; welcomed a former male student and his boyfriend to the Vatican’s U.S. embassy; and a French priest said in a televised interview that Pope Francis approved of his blessing of homosexual couples.

I know a bear craps in the woods, but I have to ask the question.

Seriously, is the Pope Catholic?

Return to Torah, folks. Or, go down the sinkhole to the abyss. It’s your choice.

Sorry, but no can do. I’ve never been Jewish, so how can I “return” to the Torah?

I prefer Christianity.

“Seriously, is the Pope Catholic?”\

Seriously, no. He has excommunicated himself latae sententiae, and is neither Catholic nor pope.

It’s not just me saying that, either.

Does anyone else get the impression that we are in the middle of a Quentin Tarantino movie?
