Pope Francis says church cannot focus on abortion and gay marriage

[kidrocks]

Hmmm, “fall like a house of cards” the pope says. How ironic because that is exactly what is happening to the Republican Party as we speak because of their staunch anti-abortion, anti-gay platform.

This is big. The liberalization of the Roman Catholic Church Hierarchy. I like this pope.

As far as the Catholic Church goes it should not even be under discussion. Which may be what he meant. It is settled chuch doctrine. Move on.

It's funny how homosexuals look to a religion who doesn't condone their immorality for approval of their immorality. How does that work out exactly?

Gays believe that with enough kicking and screaming they can force the church to change. Catholics don't need to change. If gays don't like Catholicism, pick another religion.

Since you have chained your faith-based hatred to a political party, that party will also be rejected, and not just by homosexuals. Your hate is costing you electoral power. Your hate is dragging your church and your party down.

Being gay isn’t ‘immoral,’ that you perceive homosexuality as ‘immoral’ is a consequence of your ignorance and hate.

And gays are not ‘seeking approval’ from anyone, they are acknowledging the Pope’s appropriate concession that issues pertaining to privacy rights and equal protection rights are the purview of the law and public policy, not subjective, irrelevant religious dogma.

This thread isn't about gay people, it's about the Pope setting a new tone. Good for him!

Wrong! Gays generally don't give a shit what the church thinks they just want to be left alone to live and let live. They do however care what the gov't thinks, they would think it great if the State recognizes their right to marry without prejudice.

Those damned pesky darkies and homos. Kicking and screaming to be treated the same as everyone else. The nerve of these...animals!

Except that the church hierarchy is very anti gay/abortion today but this pope hopes to turn that around. Maybe they will impeach the pope in the process?
