My oldest daughter is Catholic, and what she says is the Pope is no liberal whatsoever, he is attempting to bring the church more in line with Christian Catholic virtues. I like this pope, but any changes to church doctrine he would make would be so incrementally small they would change nothing in practice.

I believe the Catholic Church will eventually evolve on Gay rights--far sooner than they will evolve on reproductive ones, but it's decades away.

The double standards in play are just bizarre.
