The last time I checked, we all live in sin. I am fine with fags going to church. I am not fine with the church saying being a fag is ok and not a sin. I am not fine with priests that are fags. I don't think the Pope is advocating condoning sin. I do have problems with the social justice crap the is creeping into the Catholic church and many other denominations. BTW, I much rather see fags be welcomed into the Catholic church than into the Episcopalian church. They won't find any help there. BTW, I am an Episcopalian, but very catholic (lower case 'c') in my beliefs.
Faggy priests and sorry popes are two big reasons Protestants broke away. Another is the centuries of persecution of the movement toward the common people having access to a Bible. It wasn’t the Comfy Chair of the Python show.
It’s also notable as some of the mainline Protestant churches gained bureaucracy, they also became more collectivist and queer. The present turmoil in the Presbyterian and Lutheran churches are examples of this phenomenon.
I think it says a lot when Catholics demand people to come back to “the” church and seldom mention the need for a personal relationship with the Savior.
