    Of course people are blaming him being too accepting of trans people, his view of “let them survive but they’re sinners unwelcome to the eucharist” is unfortunately far too progressive for some.

    Fortunately the church of Jesus of Nazareth will prioritize profit over peace and love

      The idea of the pope marginalizing a group because they’re sinners is pretty sad, given he has dedicated his life to teaching that literally every ordinary human is a sinner. Among other things.

      Then that being too progressive for Joe Catholic is even more sad.

      Unfortunately, what it is NOT is surprising. White Catholic family here. They dehumanize just as well as the rest of the conservatives.

        It’s too progressive for American Catholics in particular who are currently experiencing a serious identity crisis and infighting because of trumpism. It’s been wild to watch unfold. An archbishop just got excommunicated for schism idk 6mo ago?

          I haven’t followed any of that news. Sounds like some fun reading I’ll have to catch up on!

            It’s honestly wild. Evangelical Christianity and prosperity gospel ideas are pretty much overwhelming Catholic ideas of social justice and community support. Not to mention this new wave of “don’t trust leaders and institutions” doesn’t really jive with the church hierarchy/papal structure. A lot of churches are centering around their priests now as leaders who are also using the pulpit to talk about politics.
