VATICAN CITY (CNS) – People who act shocked that a priest would bless a gay couple but have no problem with him blessing a crooked businessman are hypocrites, Pope Francis said.
“The most serious sins are those that are disguised with a more ‘angelic’ appearance. No one is scandalized if I give a blessing to an entrepreneur who perhaps exploits people, which is a very serious sin. Whereas they are scandalized if I give it to a homosexual – this is hypocrisy,” he told the Italian magazine Credere.
The interview was scheduled for publication Feb. 8, but Vatican News reported on some of its content the day before when the magazine issued a press release about the interview.
Celibate crossdresser, head of notorious pedophile network, weighs in on gay marriage.
Uhhh, leave celibates and cross dressing out of this but otherwise, yes.
The entire Catholic church needs to be shut down at this point and their pious, faithful people can start a new religion if they want to.
What if what they want is to continue being catholic?
All I hear, “What if they want to keep being horrible?”
I’m not denigrating celibates or crossdressers, just drawing attention to the fact that the whole thing is deeply weird.
Christianity is deeply weird. They ritualisticly canabalize their god.
They can also confer magical powers on dihydrogen monoxide.
🤓 you are only a cannibal if you eat individuals of your own species, they eat the flesh of their god so that’s incorrect
They’re eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus, who was very much human.
As a man who wears a skirt, I’d appreciate it if you left cross dressing out of it - the pope wears traditional masculine garb… it’s just uncommon in the modern day.
Honestly, though, the concept of gendered garb can probably go the way of the dodo. Clothes serve a minor functional purpose and mostly are focused on the aesthetic - people should just wear what they like.
