Pope Francis describes ‘ideological Christians’ as a ‘serious illness’ within the Church

134. Maybe since it passed in Argentina and he saw the results, he had to start seeing reason.

Your first link is a 404 that goes nowhere. But ok, I'll accept it anyway.

In 2010 he tried to stop gay marriage in Argentina. OK. Is he doing that NOW?

People change their attitude about gays and gay marriage when they actually SEE them as people. What better opportunity to see them as people than to have it legalized in his backyard and see that God did not fly out of the sky and smite everyone?

RE: your "special note" On the level of "sinfulness" whatever someone does that is against "the list" is just as bad as anything else, but it doesn't mean that the people are bad. That is all I meant. You dig deep to find a way to be offended, knock yourself out if that's your thing.

Would you like it better if I compared it to wearing white after labor day? SOME people object. I don't. I don't object to gays or fat people or divorced people. Everyone's choices are the best they can make for themselves in the situation they have been dealt in life.

The world is evolving to a more friendly climate for gays and you want to attack people in the institutions who are trying to help that along.... ESPECIALLY if they were a big part of the problem to begin with? WHY WOULDN'T you want him to have a change of heart? WHY do you HAVE to look deeply and take offense where none was meant?

You can't make people like you and accept you exactly as you are by going on attack. There is no "make" to it.

I have gay people I love in my life and THEY are the reason I care and tolerate this kind of nastiness. For their sake.
