Papa Tango, warmly greeting a married homo "couple".

Pope Francis is decrying "ideological colonization" of gender ideology.
In an interview conducted in late July, published Thursday by the Vatican, the Pope slammed the indoctrination of children by educational institutions. "In Europe, America, Latin America, Africa, and in some countries of Asia, there are genuine forms of ideological colonization taking place," the pontiff claimed, responding to a question from Bp. Christopher Zadarko of Koszalin-Kolobrzeg.
And one of these — I will call it clearly by its name — is [the ideology of] 'gender.' Today children — children! — are taught in school that everyone can choose his or her sex. Why are they teaching this? Because the books are provided by the persons and institutions that give ... money. These forms of ideological colonization are also supported by influential countries. And this is terrible!
Remarking on a conversation held with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, Pope Francis recalled the retired pontiff quipping, "[T]his is the age of sin against God the Creator."
"He is very perceptive," Pope Francis noted. "God created man and woman; God created the world in a certain way ... and we are doing the exact opposite."
"God gave us things in a 'raw' state, so that we could shape a culture," he continued, "and then with this culture we are shaping things that bring us back to the 'raw' state! Pope Benedict's observation should make us think. 'This is the age of sin against God the Creator.' That will help us."
Pope Francis went on to highlight the connection between gender ideology and the various forms of oppression around the world. "It is a global problem: the exploitation of creation and the exploitation of people. We are living at a time when humankind as the image of God is being annihilated," he explained.

Pope Francis is not the first pontiff to decry the push for gender ideology. In 2012, his predecessor Pope Benedict warned that the acceptance of such ideologies will lead to the persecution of Christians. "According to this philosophy, gender is no longer a given element of nature that a man has to accept and personally makes sense of it," Benedict had said. "[Rather], it is a social role that we choose for ourselves, while in the past it was chosen for us by society.
"Gender is not something that is found inside of man as part of his essence, but rather, is imposed from the outside. We are now at the point where the individual decides these gender roles for himself."
Continuing, the pope noted the absurdity of this ideology. "The profound falsehood of this theory, and of the anthropological revolution contained within it is obvious," he asserted.
Pope Benedict concluded by citing Genesis: "According to the biblical creation account, being created by God as male and female pertains to the essence of the human creature. This duality [male and female] is an essential aspect of what being human is all about, as ordained by God."

WTF I can’t pin this guy down...
As thanks, the couple brought a small gift package of local products for the Pope, including olive oil, paprika and cherry jam.
Paprika? I’m shocked. Shocked.
What, you haven't seen these in the mainstream media, either?
Ever wonder why?

Papa Tango, warmly greeting a married homo "couple".
I really don’t thing anything shocks you.
If he’s the Pope, it’s all OK. Right?
It's the anti-doctrine that kills souls.
And listen up. You should know better. We've been over this,
They are when the pope greets "married" homos as a couple.
“That was me,” Grassi said.
Grassi, who is 67, added that he is willing to talk about his private moment with the pontiff because he was upset about media coverage of the Pope’s meeting with Davis.
“I want to show the truth of who Pope Francis is,” he said.
Pope Francis taught Grassi in literature and psychology classes at Inmaculada Concepcion, a Catholic high school in Sante Fe, Argentina, from 1964-1965. Grassi, who said he is an atheist, moved to the United States in 1978 and runs a catering business in Washington.
Grassi said the Pope has long known that he is gay, but has never condemned his sexuality or his same-sex relationship. In the video, Francis says he recalls meeting Grassi’s boyfriend in Rome.
“He has never been judgmental,” Grassi said. “He has never said anything negative.”

So the homo friend of Papa Tango was upset about Papa Tango’s clandestine meeting with Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage certificates to homosexual couples.
You seem to interpret friendly overtures or even civility as betrayal to Satan.
A bit unbalanced, I think.
I can just imagine the opposite of "Friendship Evanglization":
Pope Francis' real ideological and doctrinal deviations are serious enough things to criticize him for. Go ahead, have at it. But bashing him merely for clemency to the unworthy --- ay, go re-read John 4:4-42.
`
I'm glad Pope Francis has spoken out strongly and absolutely consistently against the Transgender Agenda.
Moreso than any --- any --- leader on the world stage, religious or secular.
But --- oops, I forgot. He's Pope Francis. He can't do anything right.
Even when he's right, he's wrong, somehow.
Right?
Jesus Christ also told the woman to go and sin no more.
No indication of that from Francis, not for homos, nor transgenders, nor heretics nor muslims. Francis’ only admonitions have been towards the “sour-pussed rosary counters”.
Pope replaces ambassador to U.S. who set up Kim Davis meeting
Never has there been a more spiteful pope than this one.
Leftist head games. Anti-doctrine is advanced by Francis and his PR team with his now exceedingly tired strategy of declaiming “ideological colonization” while publicly affirming various individuals who embrace and promote the opposite position. At this point, one would have to be extremely gullible to be taken in by such transparent manipulations.
Wow...oh I know why...I still think he’s Marxist but not completely as he’s not trying to destroy one of the building blocks of society.
