Today, the Roman Catholic Church elected another pope who is anti-LGBTQ rights in a room made magnificent by the amazing talents of a gay man, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simon.

Nothing like condemning LGBTQ people under a ceiling painted by one. The Catholic Church: where the art is queer, the doctrine is not, and the irony is eternal.
The full dress uniform is of blue, red, orange and yellow with a distinctly Renaissance appearance. It was introduced by commandant Jules Repond in 1914,[35] inspired by 16th-century depictions of the Swiss Guard. It was not designed by Michelangelo, that’s a myth.
If people can call Robert Prevost a chosen name like “Leo” but can’t name a trans person correctly by their chosen names, then I have resigned to calling him “Bobby” since he was born Robert.
True, but at least he'll carry on the catholic church's tradition of child abuse. And protecting the pervert priests. And hiding their money after court settlements. The important stuff is still in place. A bunch of sickos. Why do we even pay attention to those grotesque perverts?
Exactly. Must wait until sepsis is damn near killing you before you get treated for the rotting fetus that isn't 'dead enough' in a catholic hospital. You'll be lucky if you survive.
Yet MAGA is flipping out and calling this man “woke.” He’s anti lgb, doesn’t believe women sjould be deacons, and regardless of what he typed on Twitter, he is not progressive.
Those comments are from quite some time ago. Let's see if his views have evolved. Could have been a far, far worse choice out of that group. Let's give him a chance to show himself. Perhaps Francis has enlightened him.
I love how we're having to pray and hope that the supposed spiritual leader of the world has spiritually evolved in the previous decade to catch up with the average normie.
According to this, Pope Leo indicates a willingness to allow nat'l bishops to make decisions about blessing same-sex couples based upon "cultural differences."
IMO, that is not a NO & represents the chance for more progress. Click for more: https://collegeofcardinalsreport.com/cardinals/robert-francis-prevost/
I will never understand people with largely progressive beliefs, that they're like, "God loves everyone and wants them to be free and their true selves...EXCEPT THIS ONE. FCK them gays."
Why anyone expects better of the biggest bureaucratic patriarchy on the planet is beyond me. We've reached the point where simply no burning people at the stake is enough to earn a wokeness sticker.
While there's considerable speculation suggesting Michelangelo had same-sex desires, there is no evidence to definitively prove that he was gay. He was well known for his solitude and strong personality, which may have contributed to the lack of intimate relationships and subsequent gossip.
Most priests are gay too! Just look at all the young native children they buggered when they were in residential school! The Catholic Church is a tool for the devil, if the devil truly exists!
There is a HUGE difference between being gay (which is same sex attraction/relationships between consenting adults) and molesting children. One hurts no one. The other is extremely harmful towards innocent children.
Also, who gives AF who is pope? You shouldn’t need a supposedly magical man elected by other wanna-be magical men to magically tell you right from wrong, *especially* when they come from an oppressive sexist cult.
Religion is poison. And your religion isn’t special.
Thank you for saying this. It is disappointing that we are still fighting this battle. And, yes it’s a battle. People are dying by suicide because we can’t simply love and accept others without judgement. That’s God’s job. I’m just here to love.
I'm not a fan of the Catholic Church at all....however, I wonder if he has evolved in a dozen years?....Obama used to be against gay marriage, etc. People do evolve. I know nothing, but his views may now be more welcoming. He seems more inclined to follow the teachings of Jesus than some others.
I went to catholic school. Never had a sermon or a directive anti LGBTQ anything. We knew people who did not identify with their assigned sex were people and was not for us to judge. We learn languages, math, physics. We also learned the social theory of the church, which in the US would
Have been compared to communism. We learn to be brave and despite the dictators, crime, bribes, we needed to be truth to the teachings. Never had a conversation or class about abortion. Never had a course where we were superiors to anything, we are just brothers and sisters.
Our math was so fantastic that we won the national math and physics Olympics. The teachings of love, braveness, charity and humility still is my code of conduct in the day to day. Not perfect but aspiring to be a good servant.
Catholics in the US we have the duty to oppose the cruelty of the
You’re absolutely right. But going by what we know he’s said in the past & his willingness to speak out about what he does believe in like immigrant rights, it isn’t out of left field to think he’s more conservative than Pope Francis on the issue. I’d love him to clarify if his views have changed.
That is why I urge caution to all those so excited over the new Pope. He is not coming to save us. He might be liberal by "pope" standards but until there are women priests, LGBTQ acceptance, common sense re abortion, true responsibility re pedo priests, there is not much to be happy about.
I wonder how long people want to wait to see if he still protects child abusing priests. How much time should he be given to figure out that he shouldn't protect pedophiles...
And how many preachers pastors and other so-called men of faith are gay, and or Child molesters, or perverts. Was it Oral Roberts, that said, oh, dear lord, forgive me, for I have sinned against you, twice with hookers. No doubt there was a lot more than just two.
The Child Molestation Research & Prevention Institute notes that 90% of child molesters target children in their network of family and friends, and the majority are men married to women. Most child molesters, therefore, are not gay people.
He’s pro immigration but here’s a thought - if people had easy access to family planning and the church’s permission, many overpopulated countries wouldn’t be overpopulated and their citizens wouldn’t need to become economic refugees who have to leave their countries to survive
Ummm. No. He's not. The priest in charge of same sex union blessings is DELIGHTED. He has come far from his older views. That matters. Judge not until the data are in.
I made that observation on a couple posts (the headlines felt so truncated to "migrants and poor" that I got curious about the unsaid) and have discovered a great deal of what amounts to cross our fingers and hope he'll do better than his track record so far. And he probably IS the best choice!
If you believe the Catholic far right, though, he's actually in favor of LGBT indoctrination to convert straight people, as he was groomed to do so by the "Lavender Mafia"
Let’s see where he is on LGBTQ rights. I hope he has evolved since the reported comments were made and follows Pope Francis to be more inclusive. Time will tell
That’s nice. I prefer not to care what a pedo hiding leader of a gay hating pedo hiding women suppressing money hungry organization cares about us. Also. Imaginary friend believing. But we leave that out for now

Humans were not designed to be Celibate. Even as a little kid in Catholic School, and in those days Nuns actually taught class, I just felt there was something "off" with this arrangement!
And my Catholic School was located on a "Church Campus" of sorts. It included the Church, Nun Convent, Priest Rectory and School. Completely integrated! That said, I attended school there from Grades 1-4, and it was the BEST Education I ever had!
Procreation had little to do with having sex for pleasure!!
I went to the same type of RC school. Church, rectory, convent and school. Grades 1-8. Huge. Each grade had 6 classrooms with 50-60 kids.
All girl’s RC high school. My graduating class had a few hundred girls.
I don't know if they're worse, I think it's a problem with churches in general. Positions of trust and authority, assumed to be "the good guys", and churches cover for them because of their Godly reputation. "None of OURS could do such a thing!" I was raised a Mormon, it DEFINITELY happens there.
Its apparent, based on many posts on Bluesky that pertain to skeezy donors of this administration, that most religious institutions & law enforcement agencies hide pedophiles.To single out & create a narrative directed at the Catholic Church shows that 🍊 is unnerved about this selection. It's a win.
Let's see where he goes with it. My version of left-leaning Lutheran church was against gay marriage, gay ministers and female ministers when I was a kid in the 1960s. Now it has all those.

That’s how I’m described his predecessor and it will absolutely work for this guy too.
FUCK

At the end hope, love and charity to everyone is the way to go. No fear, just love.
People change. That's the chance he's owed.
Ok.

Can we please give him a beat because I remember a time when the Democrats in this country were also anti-LGBTQ.
Maybe his views have changed. Give it a day or two folks.

Organized religion is all bad.
Evangelical churches are a fucking hotbed for pedos and weirdos. Infinitely worse than the Catholic Church

A ‘woke’ advocate.
No. The Church could have appointed a woman (don’t get mired in details). They could admit to sexual assault of children, theft and bigotry.
Instead, another old white guy.
Time changes things.
