Hundreds of LGBTQ+ Catholics and their families participated in a Holy Year pilgrimage to Rome on Saturday, celebrating a new level of acceptance in the Catholic Church after long feeling shunned and crediting Pope Francis with the change.
The vice president of the Italian bishops conference, Bishop Franceseco Savino, celebrated Mass for the pilgrims in a packed Chiesa del Gesu, the main Jesuit church in Rome. He received a sustained standing ovation in the middle of his homily when he recalled that Jubilee celebrations historically were meant to restore hope to those on the margins.

Catholics In Name Only
Are we at peak homo fatigue yet? Go back in the closet and STFU already. Nobody gives a crap what you stick in your various holes.
Meanwhile, while they welcome back the 1% they are turning away the 99% such as myself, a lifelong practicing Catholic who did not go to church when frankie was in Vatican City because of the hypocrisy....i started going to mass over the summer with a bit of hope, something i did religiously for more than 50 years, but i’m going to back off a while...
I don’t think the Catholic church or any church for that matter, should turn away gays but at the same time they should not be celebrating them...
Francis “made it very clear that he doesn’t want people to be excluded simply on the basis of choices that they make, whether it be lifestyle, work, way to dress, or whatever.”
It used to be love the sinner hate the sin. Now it’s just go ahead and do whatever you want. These people are friggen demented losers. Including this latest libertine pope.
Another inclusion! 2 in one day. ImagineThat!
The church has fallen. Frankee was a wrecking ball. It could only be destroyed from within and that’s what happened.
....HE NEVER GAVE THE RAINBOW TO SATAN!!
100% pure propaganda from C...BS!
Positively Jesuitical.
Thanks to VatII homos are changing Christ’s teachings to make homos acceptable in the Church. They seem to be succeeding but the Wrath of God may become their stumbling block. Many true Catholics will not accept it.
The Traditional Church and its beautiful Holy Mass are now robbed, beaten, and rather cast to the side of the road, likened to the same conditions in the storied example of the Good Samaritan.
Today, flatly, there exist no TLM *parishes* outside of urban areas and scarcely there. An hour, somewhere, for a TLM in some inaccessible area, at best.
Otherwise, away from cties, Traditional Roman Catholics have an empty plate all together. Many can not even traverse inside the urban cities, for a myriad of obvious reasons.
The blessed TLM feels already gone for multitudes.
NO Masses are so keenly unrelatable that being improperly disposed by the numerous disturbances make receiving Holy Eucharist well disposed, impossible.
The Eastern Rite Catholic Church is admired and accepted already, by Pope Leo.
Not so, not with the Traditional Roman Rite.
Splain that?
Outrageous.
Like cockroaches, they were all over the place.
“Hundreds of LGBTQ+ Catholics and their families participated in a Holy Year pilgrimage to Rome on Saturday”. I’m glad I wasn’t there.
