@georgetakei pope francis seems like a compassionate man.
this is a step in the right direction. he supports workers rights and unions too. i think he is christ-like, which is good for a pope.
i disagree with it being considered a sin, but it's supporting decriminalization is an important step.
sends a message to catholics everywhere to be more tolerant of the LGBTQ+ community.
@superheroine
At least a considered answer out here given the circumstances.
If you want to interpretate him I guess you'd need to know about the different branches of Catholics and in his case franziskans in particular.
This man once said:
"Yes, it's better if you hit your child on the "Popo", not in the face!"
Germans wanted to crucify him:
"How can you say it's good to hit a child!"
He knew that he was speaking to the whole latin american continent, and beating only the "Popo" is advancing.
thank you for that information. in my church the prophet also gives statements that are steps but measured. i think it's to slowly move conservatives forward without causing schism in the church (again).
it can be a bit frustrating and i don't fully know how i feel about it. i think negatively but i also understand.
