Pope says priests can bless same-sex unions, requests should not be subject to moral analysis

Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it.

He says they "can" but knows they won't or quietly tells them not to. This pope is all PR and bullshit he knows they won't follow through on. The Pope can pretend that Catholics are now tolerant of gay people, but go to a Catholic Church throughout most of the planet, particularly the third world and see how tolerant they are and how much they follow the Pope. They are tolerant of pedophiles in their clergy though, since they don't seem to want to fix that issue

I knew a lot of Catholics that didn’t have a problem with gay people.

God’s love is for everyone, types.
