    I thought the pope was pretty cool with LGBT people.

    1. Catholics do not represent the views of all Christians.
    2. The pope is just a man. He can say and believe whatever he wants, that doesn't make it true or correct.

    Haha, I knew it, never trust the freakin' pope.

    It's like their religion can't exist unless it has a specific group it can discriminate against. We take away their victims one by one, they just move on to whoever's next in line.

    I like the irony

    The vatican is basically a broke ass disneyland run by a third-rate final fantasy villain.

    That being said, they're hoarding some pretty cool antique maps of the Old World.

    Thankfully I've got nobody that wants me to be a godfather, otherwise they'd be in for disappointment. :roflmao:

    That's actually pretty awesome, in a roundabout way.

    I wasn't aware that Godparents were still taken seriously. I've only seen them being used as title that parents give close friends so that they could feel included and special.

    If anything, the qualifications to be a Godparent are pretty strict enough as it is.

    But why? I don't see the point...
    Things like these make me ashamed of being catholic...

    Well just another reason to not go back to church. I'll say it again.

    Jesus would be appalled.

    most people are probably scratching their heads and wondering how this can possibly affect their lives...

    I don't get why everyone is so shocked. Francis is pretty good, but only if the next 10 Popes each made a consecutive advance the size of the one he has made would the Vatican ever eventually be a decent institution. A lot of improvement can be made on what Pope Francis has (kind of) begun.

    What I think is most stupid (verging on offensive) is that they described transgenderism (is that a word?) as 'sexuality', of course being completely different from gender identity.

    And this is why I love my UCC church... They welcome all, no matter what - just like Jesus himself did.
