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.

And who wants to predict the flood of catholics saying the pope isn't catholic because of this statement?

They already did that when he told people to be nice to trans people. He didn't tell them to embrace them into their lives, just treat them nice and they lost their shit about it.

As a man who wore a dress himself, I’m fairly sure Jesus didn’t mind if people crossdressed

If Jesus had access to pantaloons or blue jeans he would have rocked them.

No store bought wine though. He was a foot guy.

To be fair, he said be nice. Modern christianity demands brutal suppression of anyone you don’t like.

"Not my pope" was a common slogan for American catholics when he recommended taking the scientists advice and masking up during lockdown.
