Discussion of religion in the context of LGBTQ+ rights is only allowed in this thread.
Discussion of religion in any other context is off topic in all of the "LGBTQ+ rights..." threads.
Attempting to bait others into bringing up religion is also not allowed.

On the matter of the quote, whether or not it's true, it's in line with the Church doctrine of natural law. And the Pope, as far as I can tell, is Catholic. I would rather we discuss that doctrine than the quote; it is well developed, but ultimately an arbitrary enforcement of the naturalistic fallacy.
And I agree with pagad that Francis is not as radical as liberals want him to be. The Church has been behind for decades and is only beginning to catch up. During Vatican II, there was a real chance that contraception would be accepted. As it is, many priests across the world have been advocating it to their flocks regardless.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.I can hear the frenchmen laugh and go "hon hon hon hon hon"
The answer is more likely obvious though. He is going to be accepted. The position they have in the vatican is political, not hierarchichal within the structure of the church.
Still funny to picture them laughing like so◊
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothesNow I want bread...
"Psssh. Even if you could catch a miracle on a picture any person would probably delete it to make space for more porn." - AszurI agree that that is likely, but it still means a person of authority - however limited, it still exists - who is openly homosexual. Even a couple of years ago, I'm pretty sure that would have been instantly vetoed.
If it is accepted, it speaks positively.
My name is Addy. Please call me that instead of my username.But they do not refuse their existence. Just their participation in certain rites. It is purely political. And the supposed "sin" here would be something beyond their control unless the Vatican gets to decide how these ambassadors spend their time.
I mean. Unless his plan is to try and seduce the pope into accepting homosexuality. Which I would not put above the French, really...
This needs more research.
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothesEven if he came in butt naked with a rainbow flag wrapped around his neck like a cape, nothing hateful should happen to him.
The Swiss Guard would just detain him, remove him, and call the embassy to pick up their nutter.
Pope's been pretty honest that homosexuals aren't to be harmed or disrespected for any reason. And even then, I bet they would criticize him as a person, and not as a homosexual should anything icky happen.
Or as a Frenchman. There is that.
"Psssh. Even if you could catch a miracle on a picture any person would probably delete it to make space for more porn." - Aszur"hon hon hon hon allo bon soir, mon ami" said the french ambassador "'avz you ever christened a baguette?" his dainty hand would reach for the papal ring and slowly, sensually tug it with the sinful grasp of a mary magdalene in need...the pope then...
Ok yeah no this makes the worst fanfic ever

"Yup. That tasted purple."You're not going to hell for that. Purgatory might be a more accurate chance, though.
(Yes, yes, it's an appaling joke. But fuck it, I'm in a good mood)

Satan doesn't understand.
I'd not be trapped in there with him. He'd be trapped in there with me.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickCan I ask how high that post ranks on the list of "weirdest things a mod has had to say to keep a topic focused"?
"And the Bunny nails it!" ~ Gabrael "If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we." ~ CyranKnowing tvtropes, probably not as high as you'd expect.
It's somewhere in the top ten. Probably in the top five.
Topic?
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Because we need topicness, I bring to you an Omaha woman who filed a hand-written lawsuit against "anyone who is a homosexual or goes by the alias of “gay.”", and claims to be "acting on behalf of her plaintiffs God, and His Son, Jesus Christ".

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - SilaswWill she be suing former Olympic athlete Tyson Gay, then?
If it's his real name he should be fine.
If I was the judge I would accept the case and when the prosecution fails to present itself I would charge her the administrative costs.
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothesI don't care which side of the issue you fall on: that lawsuit document is so awesomely crackpot that the world is objectively a better place for its existence.
"She was the kind of dame they write similes about." —Pterodactyl Jones^^ Won't work. If the judge accepts it, he also accepts that she's "acting on behalf of the plaintiffs" and they wouldn't be required to appear in person. The plaintiff in a civil suit isn't always required to appear anyway.

In an open letter, a trans rabbi tells trans teenagers "I've got your back".
This is what I'd like to see more of, honestly.
