First of all, Pope Francis can’t do that. The Catholic Church’s understanding of sexuality and marriage is based not only on longtime immutable and undeniable truths but is embedded and integrated within the very fiber and fabric of its understanding of human relations and spiritual relations. That understanding has not only been consistent for 2,000 years but was advanced even further and deeper in recent decades by Pope John Paul II’s profound theology of the body. There’s not only a deeper biology undergirding the Church’s position on marriage but an extraordinarily rich theology that those ignorant of Church teaching could scarcely begin to imagine.

Catholic ping!

I can agree with this statement -> “The priesthood of the future...celibate, male, gay and straight” - as I understand it.

& I understand it as a priesthood of happy, hetrosexual, celibrate men. Silly me prefers old definition of ‘gay’ to modern perversion as a euphemism for HOMOSEXUAL

I think it’s more that the libs are duping themselves, believing their own press, getting high off their own supply, call it what you will.
