(33,982 posts)Very nice and all. In case anyone needs a reminder:
The church still opposes family planning that includes contraceptives and abortifacients.
The church opposes same-sex marriage.
The church opposes gender equality in leadership within the church.
Are you a priest that supports same-sex marriage and gender equality? Pope Francis excommunicates you for it.

"Melbourne priest Greg Reynolds has not only been defrocked, but also excommunicated by the Catholic Church over his support for women priests and homosexuals. The order came directly from Vatican under the authority of Pope Francis, who just recently said that the Church focuses too much on gays and abortion."
But yes, the kid is adorable.
