I don’t think catholics know what that word means. Not in this context they sure don’t.
This sounds like some “I don’t want to tell my kids about gay marriage because it’s going to make me mildly uncomfortable so I might as well demonize it”.
Yeah, I guess I have a lot more faith in the pope than you do. I know he can do it, but I also know he doesn’t care enough to do it. It’s just showing face. It’s trying to market a dying religion.
But actions have consequences, so he doesn’t, even if it might be the “better” course of action for humanity if he did.
Because it wouldn’t be the best course for his organization (at least from his perspective).
Because it’s his opinion, because he (*[via] God [or whatever]) sets the rules. You know what, I’ll write him about this. I realize he’s got other archdiocese reading and responding to him but as a catholic it’s one of my rights. I am all for meeting people where they are at, but… it’s all but saying it, and until he does say it, he’s just giving people a way to win arguments claiming that homosexuality is a sin, making everyone their own lawyer trying to interpret what the pope is saying.
If this were a politician trying to sway congress that’s one thing, but is the vatican not functionally a dictatorship, with the pope at the top?
Speaking as a baptized catholic myself (an apostile, appointed by god herself), since all of this is made up, and the pope is the leader, and talking to god is just making up thoughts in your head, there’s literally nothing real keeping him from coming out and blessing gay marriage. He doesn’t have to acknowledge the bigotry if he doesn’t want to, I think just blessing gay marriage himself would be enough.
I’m not kidding, I’m really catholic. And since the church counts all baptised catholics as catholic even in cases of excommunication, I’ll always be a catholic. You don’t speak for me, and I bless gay marriage!
When the pope says he can’t bless gay marriage, is that not letting him hide behind his religion for his choices?
Unfortunately what he is doing is little better than “hate the sin love the sinner”.
homosexuality is not a sin.
I hold leaders to a higher standard. you should too.
upvote this wherever you get your federated content.
yeah because he’s a stupid, evil man. this is very easy for him.
BUT I TOOK ALL THESE COURSES!
heaven isn’t real. literally all he has to do is come out and say “had a chat with god, turns out it was all a big misunderstanding. i bless gay marriage because being gay is ok!” the bar is so very low for him.
riiiiight. the pope would be insurrectioned. sure.
how hard is it to bless something, really? wake me up when he’s an ally.
What do you think would happen if he just came out and blessed gay marriage?
I’m rooting for the little guy! maybe he can work his way up to a mortal position with some leverage.
Using matrix would be better. Server plugins can publish channels like a public blog, viewable in a web browser.
Make the hypocratic Oath hypocratic law, binding all medical professionals. clarify that hypocratic law means preventing harm to the person delivering the child, and that the “harm” doesn’t apply to the practictioner’s personal beliefs.
Univeral healthcare also couldn’t hurt.
it’s the “require that they be transferred” part which might be an issue. if there’s a legal pathway to this then lets go!
I like the attitude though there is a lot to tear down. e.g., hospitals.
My mistake.
