Papa Francis - Same Sex Marriage

K4t

Speaking in the Philippines yesterday:

Francis went into attack mode. "The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage," Francis told the crowd. "These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation."

The Catholic Church seriously needs to get with the times or face the reality of losing a great deal of followers. They can start by allowing same sex marriage and female priests.

They are too stubborn to ever change but they will not last another 2000 years unless they do.

I often wonder what people want. Do people want the Catholic Church to just give up and not exist any more ?? If so this is an idiotic ideal and so will never do anything but poke holes in what is said.
If people would like it to change to a more modern forward thinking institution then Popes like the current one are the way forward, but change is slow in such a large old organisation. There is only so much change that can happen at any one time. Remember the year of the three popes, it's widely speculated that John the first was killed in his sleep as he demonstrated an inclination for rapid change.

In not believing in god, mostly. Pizza toppings are a bit of an issue though, some people there are sick and think pineapple belongs on a pizza.

Also, I hope you won't object to me refusing to take marriage advice from an old virgin in charge of an organization that raped thousands of children for decades.

You held firm and came back to the pending sh1tstorm that you created at 2am. Respect for that if nothing else.

It might be for the new faction of After Hours posters (most of them probably call themselves atheists or other such terms), you'll see them out in force on the other thread about Francis. They think it's cool or sticking it to the man to defend the Pope's comments as just a bit of fun and admire him for seemingly not being as bad as the others and having a sense of humour or some integrity. Yes, I've seen the word integrity used. It's sickening.

Be care what you say about the pope he might punch you.

I like Francis. Think he has a bit of integrity, is fighting as best he can against the established church. He also looks like Stan Laurel, which has got to be a plus!

Have you met the new leader of the Nazi party? Great guy by all accounts, fighting as best he can against the established church.

Just a note to other readers of this thread

First of all, The 'Examiner' link in your post is not a link to the well-balanced Irish Examiner publication. It appears to be a secularist form of thejournal.ie.

Secondly, I cannot find a reputable website which has translated the words attributed to Pope Francis in accordance with your claim.

Certainly, he seems to have defended heterosexual marriage, although not quite in the trenchant language which you seem to attribute to him.

I wonder why you selected that particular quote, when it appears to be of such doubtful accuracy... .

This is not going to end well ...
