Then why did the pope recently hug and encourage a tranny engaged to a member of her same sex.?

Why did the Pope call an adulteress in Argentina and advise her to sneak around and find another church to receive Holy Communion?

"Then why did the pope recently hug and encourage a tranny engaged to a member of her same sex?"

Do you know for a fact that there was no repentance and confession? Do you know for a fact that this perverse "engagement" is still on?

If you don't know for a fact, then you are speculating by recourse to the "Assumption of Bad Motives", e.g., "When in doubt, the Pope is wrong."

"Why did the Pope call an adulteress in Argentina and advise her to sneak around and find another church to receive Holy Communion?"

We know about this alleged incident because the woman's husband put it on Facebook. Then Pope Francis, through Lombardi, acknowledged that a phone conversation took place, but more than that he could not say, explaining it was not an official act in any sense, but private.

Neither doctrine nor discipline are determined by private phone calls, or promulgated third hand on Facebook. He was, therefore, staving off any interpretation that had made a ruling or granted an absolution.

Even Religious News Service --- which is provably left-leaning and pro-dissent in its tendencies --- thought the story was dubious.

Latching onto poorly-documented or undocumented material of a damaging sort, and presuming the worst possible interpretation, is not something we should do to anybody, much less the Pope.

If you know about it, it wasn't much of a clandestine situation was it???....hard to sneak when the world knows about it.
