After the Vatican revealed Friday that Pope Francis’ meeting with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis did not constitute “support,” the Vatican revealed yet another juicy tidbit about the Pope’s trip: he requested a meeting with a homosexual couple.
According to CNN, Pope Francis explicitly requested a meeting with Yayo Grassi and his partner Iwan. Francis hugged Grassi and Iwan for the cameras. According to Grassi, Francis initiated the meeting: “Three weeks before the trip, he called me on the phone and said he would love to give me a hug.”
Furthermore, the Vatican, in disowning the Davis meeting, explained, “The only real audience by the Pope at the nunciature was with one of his former students and his family.”...
...That language is quite telling: describing Iwan as Grassi’s “family,” as the statement suggests, acknowledges that homosexual couples are families, a major departure from Catholic teaching.

A hug?
Oops!
“...Henceforth any Catholic who does not wish to give or abet scandal by warmly welcoming a “married” homosexual “couple” to their home or to a gathering can be easily attacked for being “more Catholic than the Pope”.
We must admit we were too hasty: it was not the Marxist crucifix, but this, with the beaming Pope, the literal barrenness of it all, and the nuclear division it announces for the Church in the decades ahead, that is the defining image of this Pontificate.”

You can please some people all of the time and all people some of the time, but you cannot please all people all of the time.
Well this is getting to be almost vomit inducing.
Pervert
I hear you.
Ain’t it time they said good-bye?
this tells me a lot about this pope... this pope is all about the image he can project. don’t count on any true leadership out of him because he so wants the aderation of the world that he will do anything to get it...
Infallible.
So concentrated on being Mr. “Inoffensive” Nice Guy that there isn’t any more room for, er, Christian love.
More frantic spin control from the Vaticant after the Kim Davis blowback. Francis is such a weak dirtbag.
Is this pope trying to piss me off ,,, I already think he’s a flaming fascist hell bent on compromising the Catholic doctrine .
Considering what FReeper Catholics feel about Bible Belt Protestants, is anyone really surprised?
I'm a Bible Belt Catholic. Tell me, ZC, how do I feel?
It’s my impression that most catholics here supported Kim Davis.
Speak for yourself. Some of my relatives happen to be Protestants, "Bible Belt" and otherwise. We certainly differ on doctrine but not on morals.
Correct. He and Barry should sail off to a rainbow island together on the good ship lolly pop
