Pope Francis is still lipstick on a pig unless he aggressively allows all of the abusers in the church to be prosecuted. I think the Cardinal Law is still hiding out in the Vatican instead of facing charges
Exactly. This shit he is saying is just to save face at best. I remember being in a Catholic University at the time, taking a religious studies course as one of the schools requirements just after Francis got appoutned. It was explained that he was discussing homosexuals (the people) not the identity. He stated homosexuals can get into heaven, but this is not saying those who engage in their identity could. This is no different from hat the sin non the sinner condescension they've always used. It's very disheartening to see how much people and the media venerate the fucking pope....the oldest Christian cult's infallable god on Earth...
I had high hopes for this one, but his stance on trans issues is gross.
The Catholic church preys on the poorest people on planet Earth while accumulating riches beyond belief. There is no justification for that kind of a fraud and putting lipstick on a pig doesn't take away from that.
The Catholic Church is like a quickly evolving parasite that knows the changing world is about to shake it off, so it's changing to hang on.
I will never forgive the Catholic and Christian churches for their centuries of misogyny and homophobia.
I have a standard response any time I see or hear of the pope :
Fuck that piece of shit.
Well, Law died last year so the lipstick on a pig saved Law from dying an ignoble death in prison?
