In one of the most iconic moments coming out of World Youth Day, Pope Francis called on the hundreds of thousands gathered before him to yell back at him that the Catholic Church is for “todos, todos, todos” – everyone, everyone, everyone.

    It is progress, though there is still a long way to go.

      Is it progress though? It’s easy for them to talk the talk, but they don’t appear to be doing anything to walk the walk. This is lip service, at best.

        Is this a “But only if you stop being gay.” Thing or is this “no being gay is okay” thing?

          I wouldn’t go as far it’s them saying being gay is okay, but they’re claiming all queer people can come and be active members of the church. The issue is that they’re saying that while simultaneously treating LGBTQ+ people as second third degree citizens. They are “welcoming” us while also refusing to see us as equal and still claiming homosexuality is ungodly. It’s the bullshit cries of a cult in its death throes.

            “You can join us, but only if promise to become like us”….

            Not surprised I have a very different definition of “welcome”.

      First time seeing him say this sort of stuff? It’s like a business making their logo rainbow at this point.
