“It sounds like a generic form letter response to me.
And it isn’t from the pope, it’s from his staff.”
So they receive a bunch of gay children’s books and send out a form letter expressing the sentiment to keep up the good work???
If that’s the case, I hope they send someone out to apologize and fire the person responsible.
Somehow I don’t think this is going to happen.
“So they receive a bunch of gay children’s books and send out a form letter expressing the sentiment to keep up the good work???”
Look again at the actual quote.
It doesn’t provide any evaluation or praise of the books themselves, nor of the submitters prior efforts for Christianity or humanity.
It expresses a hope for the future that they will do a better job serving humanity and Christianity.
That’s something you can say to anyone and have it be a good thing.
It’s also something you’d expect in a generic thank you form letter from a large institution.
Which it is.
