Pope Francis - the Sugarplum Fairy Pontiff.
Yes, he really did call for "re-education" of bishops who cling to the antiquated notion that homosexuality is a sin that leads to eternal damnation and should be illegal.
He spoke of "recognizing the dignity of everyone" but who is it that is degrading and disgracing themselves? Does playing with the sewer of another man not in itself degrade a person?
Pointing that out is not the problem. The Bible is quite clear that homosexuality is a mortal sin, punishable by eternal damnation. It is a most grave thing and it requires of the shepherds a response that is not flattering to the sinner but rather calls them to repentance. Francis wants to excuse it.
Do we use a similar standard for other sins? Do we complain of violating the dignity of a serial killer because we condemn his eating his victims? One must first point out the fact of sin and recognize it as such before offering forgiveness. Now the Catholic Church wants to extend forgiveness to those who do not want it. Without repentance there can be no forgiveness.
So many are going to go to Hell because Pope Francis wants to play nice and be liked.
I don't favor laws against homosexuality, but there are countries that do and perhaps it's better as it makes the line clear. Can anyone argue we are better off now that we allow any sort of sexual behavior? Can we really claim that this has made society better?
I don't know, but I do think it's none of the state's business, as most thing are not. I am more concerned with the power of government than the sexual degeneracy of some. But Francis speaks not as a civil libertarian but as leader of the largest Christian denomination in the world. He is a moral teacher, not a political leader. Its his job to keep people out of Hell.
And he isn't doing that here. There is no value to publicly spouting this off. If he worries about it he should speak privately with the bishops in question. But he does no such thing; he interjects this into the public square, leading people astray. There are going to be many who will use this to justify their deviant lifestyles.
But this shouldnt surprise us; Pope Francis was put in power by the "Lavender Mafia", a cabal of homosexual priests who have promoted a "gay friendly" Church for decades.
God will not be mocked. Pope Francis will have a lot of 'splainin' to do".

Benedict should never, ever have caved. But he was clearly tired, exhausted. He wrote that he stopped public writing because he was exhausted from the abuse he took for it - so he caved.
Which makes Francis an anti-pope and usurper (like Joe Biden) and not the legitimate head of the Catholic Church.
