“Pope” Francine weighed in with giving his blessing on the choice of one man shoving his pecker up another man’s ass.
But here's the h** of it. He's so ambiguous that people can and will take it that way, and he won't do a thing to correct that.
I just saw a YouTube of a liberal talking head named David Pakman on "Ring of Fire," which is a PBS-related radio news and opinion thing. (Don't know much about him, he seems like a male Rachel Maddow.) He was discussing whether it's really "news" and whether it really "changed anything" when Pope Francis told Juan Carlos Cruz, the Chilean abuse victim, that "gay" is not a problem "because God made you like this and God loves you like this, and I don't care, the pope loves you, you have to learn to be happy with who you are."
OK, found it, here it is: Pope says "God made you like this (Pakman video)"
The upshot was, Pakman says this is a nothingburger because what the pope undoubtedly means is "God created everyone and God loves everyone blah-blah-blah" but it doesn't change the bottom line, which is that if you DO gay sex you'll go to hell forever.
Now, you and I know that ambiguity is always the devil's best friend. No LGBT agenda-pusher ever says, "Hey, I get horny and I have this crazy drive to sodomize another man up the --- or be sodomized up the--- " you know. No, it's always like, "Marriage EQUALITY" and "Love equals LOOOOVE." "It's who I AM and who I LOVE."
And Pope Francis always advances his point, not by clear explanation but by sly subversion. It's all obscure footnotes, stage-whispers, off-the-cuff remarks, hugs and hints and supposedly private conversations that get leaked--- a kind of verbal legerdemain.
It's almost worse than on-the-nose false doctrine, because you can nail false doctrine. What's much harder to nail is, "Maybe you could construe it this way, or maybe what he really meant to say is.."
Slippery devil, he is.
