http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/pope-francis-compares-trans-people-nuclear-weapons190215The head of the Catholic Church has claimed people who 'manipulate' their bodies are similar to 'Herods' that
'destroy, that plot designs of death, that disfigure the face of man and woman, destroying creation.'
The comments were made in a new book published in Italy, Pope Francis: This Economy Kills, calling on Christians to safeguard God's order of creation.
'Let's think of the nuclear arms, of the possibility to annihilate in a few instants a very high number of human beings,' he says.

So. There you are. That's how hopey he ACTUALLY is.
I would like to ask you all something.
See when someone comes out and does something superficially liberal like take photographs of themselves next to disabled people?
Like this:
Pope Francis stops motorcade to bless disabled girl
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/the-pope/10922181/Pope-Francis-stops-motorcade-to-bless-disabled-girl.html
Do you think that means that they are actually liberal or is it just a photograph?
If you photograph someone who says they are liberal, or wishes to portray themselves as liberal, next to some liberal stuff and then they go off and do something that is very obviously NOT liberal, what criteria do you use to decide whether or not they are liberal? What they look like in photographs, or what they do?
I think there is space and time for a wider discussion on these engaging topics.

and if it is, does inhaling incense lead to insanity?
Liberal is as liberal does. The Pope sounds like he needs a liberal amount of weed to burn instead of the incense.
Just saying, that is all.
