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.

What's that?
To pull from Folding Ideas:
This is basically the modus operandi of not just Vatican II, but of most policy changes the church makes. Modernizing, reforming, and liberalizing are reactive steps they take to stem the loss of parishioners and thus mindshare in society.
What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?
I have no interest in semantic rabbit trails.
If you are unable to infer my meaning, then I'm sorry about that.
It's OK, don't worry, I already downvoted.
Oh no! A downvote? How will I ever recover from this?!
IKR.
That ratio tho
Expected
Acknowledging our arbitrary bigoted views and changing for the better to be accepting of differences. For example, moving past homophobia.
That seems like a very narrow definition. Are you sure you're not just spouting your opinion?
Do you think definitions are vetted based on broadness?
Vetted by whom?
I just asked you that, pumpkin
No you didn't.
Can you not answer the question? I didnt think it was very hard. Did you not understand what you were asked?
No. You haven't explained who is doing the vetting you're asking about, which is critical to answering.
I asked you, pumpkin. Youre the one who answers. If I was answering my own questions, I wouldnt be talking to you.
Do you need a pad of paper? Maybe some crayons? This isnt normally a difficult question.
You're not making any sense.
I literally cannot dumb down my question any further for you. Its insanely simple.
It doesn't need to be simpler, it needs to make sense.
Provide a definition if you think my very broad description with a single example out of many possible examples is inaccurate.
What do you mean?
You questioned whether I was just spouting an opinion, which would imply that it was inaccurate.
Feel free to provide a definition.
Would imply what was inaccurate?
Imagine if you contributed to the discussion rather than did a poor attempt at the Socratic Method...
