Italian book that explores different family types including same sex was banned by mayor of Venice, but pontiff becomes unlikely supporter ... In the book, the egg encounters a pair of gay penguins, lesbian rabbits successfully bringing up a family, as well as other family models, including a single parent hippo, a mixed race dog couple, and kangaroos that have adopted polar bear cubs...
Now Pardi has found an unlikely supporter in Pope Francis, who through his staff has written to the author praising her work. “His holiness is grateful for the thoughtful gesture and for the feelings which it evoked, hoping for an always more fruitful activity in the service of young generations and the spread of genuine human and Christian values,” wrote Peter B Wells, a senior official at the Vatican secretariat of state.
The letter, dated 9 July and recently seen by the Guardian, was a response to a parcel of children’s books sent by Pardi to the pontiff in June. The collection from her publisher, Lo Stampatello, including seven or eight books which deal with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues (LGBT), was accompanied by a heartfelt letter from the author describing the attacks she has come under in recent months. ...

Exactly. Human values are not something to strive for.
“Remember when Sarah Palin said that “This Pope was kinda liberal”?
And OMG! I remember people on F.R. saying she needed to “STFU until she knows what she is talking about.”
She KNEW what she was talking about. I’m a Boston College dude. I had 4 Jesuit professors. They were all communists. I got to know a few others in the faculty. They were communists too. As a group, the Jesuits are still fawning over (slobbering over) Daniel Ortega. The do the same with ALL Marxist dictatorships. Anyone see a pattern here ? LOL
Who chose this nutcase? According to the church God chose him. Sorta’ like the 12 Mormon Bishops who go to separate rooms and God tells them who the next president of the church will be.
Pretty obvious the Pope himself had nothing to do with this, but that doesn’t stop the FReak-out...
It is interesting that the last pope “retired”.
No - he is making the church ex-catholic.
Had such liberals been shown the door then, we’d have less of them now.
Lest we forget, those were the same people praising Trump today as Reagan’s second coming and the only hope for mankind...while Ted Cruz sits there filled with the actual values FR as a group, claims to hold.
So that will be two actual conservatives FR’s members helped bench in favor of liberalism.
"Holy sheep $h!t."
The College of Cardinals chose him. They prayed for God's help beforehand, but nothing in Catholic doctrine claims that God "chooses" the Pope.
You have to understand that the ancient Rome, and the Catholic Church, and the collectivist movements (Socialism, Communism, et al) of the 19th and 20th centuries are descended from Jacob’s twin brother, Esau.
Study Esau and what you see today will make complete and clear sense.

Bingo
“Lest we forget, those were the same people praising Trump today as Reagan’s second coming and the only hope for mankind...while Ted Cruz sits there filled with the actual values FR as a group, claims to hold.”
No one expects Trump to be the complete answer, but he is out of the mainstream politicians. Cruz voted for the Corker bill which negates the Senate’s responsibility to oversee treaties. He also was for the Trade bill before he was against it.
To me, Dr. Carson represents the best in Christian values, but Trump has the ability to rally the people and he is going to win.
“who knows if the Pope even actually saw this”
Either he is grossly incompetent in administration, or grossly incompetent in theology. My guess is both, along with being a fundamentally stupid person.
If a pope from a few hundred years ago did what this one does, they would have burned him as a witch.
That’s absurd.
Carson is anti 2A erdo anti self defense. Thats not Christian.
Stack the litany of liberal statements/actions/contributions of Trump against the couple mistakes of Cruz and tell me which is the conservative.
If you want to be a moderate, be a moderate and proud of it. Trump winning only shows that most of self proclaimed ‘conservatives’ don’t believe in their own dogma. Actions, not words are what matter. They are in short, lying about what they actually are. Moderates at best.
in 12 their ‘conservative values’ sent them to a booth to elect a guy that BBQs aborted babies for profit. Some ‘conservatism’ that is. Show me where they aren’t doing the very same ‘say one thing/do another’ bit here.
This pope is f888ed up. He’s an idiot, an illiterate, a dummy, the list goes on. Did he just look at the pretty pictures and ignore the text? No one can be stupider than him. He has to be the anti Christ. I do wonder if he’s gay. He has to be.
By his fruits we will know him.
pope francis is tarnishing the name of Saint Francis.
I would never leave the Church because of this MAN.
He will soon be gone, the Church remains.
If things don’t change after that...then I leave the Church and maintain all the doctrine that was the Church. I’m sad.
What is absurd? That he is either an incompetent in administration or in theology? He is either one or the other or both, or a Catholic Pope would not send out such a letter.
That he is a fundamentally stupid man? Try reading what he writes, or listen to his speeches. He has the reasoning power of a 5 year old.
