I do not like Pope Francis. While he’s been staunch on abortion, when it comes to many other things, he’s worked hard to have the Church Eternal bend to the ideas of leftism. This isn’t surprising given that he’s a product of the communist Liberation Theology movement that swept the Latin American church when he worked there, but the fact that it’s not surprising doesn’t mean we should like it.
Most recently, Francis has seemingly been trying to normalize so-called transgenderism. His latest push in that direction occurred when he invited a busload of 44 so-called transgender people to the Vatican.
The Bible is very clear that there are only two sexes. According to the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition of Genesis 5:1, “Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them ‘Humankind’ when they were created.” Indeed, Pope John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” was a lecture series that was published as a book, entitled Man and Woman He Created Them. One of the points that Pope John Paul made is that male and female are the only two sexes, and they are complementary.
Man and woman, male and female…according to Catholic doctrine, that’s it. Of course, we can acknowledge the fact that there are people who reject this religious (and biological) reality, whether because of mental illness or dangerous sexual fetishism and perversion. However, their beliefs cannot or, at least, should not change a core tenet of the Christian faith.

As the world’s leading Christian figurehead, one would think that Pope Francis would emphasize this point, namely, that there are only men and women, although we can feel compassion for those who are misguided

Maybe he frankly told them about both the moral and physical consequences of their destructive lifestyle, explained to them the reality of eternal damnation, and prayed for their conversion to Jesus Christ.....
.....but I’m afraid probably not.
Heretic pope.

Jesus told the adulterous woman to “Go and Sin No More”.
The great apostasy on display.
But me, as a traditional Catholic, I’m the problem !
I abhor this 🤡 made up pope! Put in place for one reason, to destroy the Catholic Church!
The pope, a Christian, and a transgender walked into a bar.
Did any repent to Christ?
That typically happened when Jesus met with us sinners.
I know, right? I in no way consider myself trad, altho I kinda lean in that direction, but this rank ... it’s not even hypocrisy but “calling evil good and good evil” makes me seriously wonder.
They got away with it in the 60s and 70s but now we have the internet.
I think Frankie is trying to pretend he’s doing what Our Lord did when He ate with publicans and prostitutes. But Jesus went to these places in order to bring the Good News, to try to let know they no longer needed to be slaves of sin. I don’t think Frankie cares about that part. He wants the adoration from the world, and from naive Christians.
