“Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it,” Pope Francis said in a new documentary film, “Francesco,” which premiered at the Rome Film Festival on Wednesday, according to the Catholic News Agency and other outlets.

As my Sedevacantist relatives would say, "why is everyone so surprised?"

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

This is really probably a good thing for some.

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

Catholicism has long been a perversion of Christianity, just like Mormonism. This comes as no great surprise to me.

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

We won’t only have opposition from the world for standing for what is right regarding this topic but more and more from also religious groups supposedly believers of the Book. Those groups will definitely fuel the world’s oppression on those that stand against it.

How many supposedly “right wing” Catholics we have in the Supreme Court again?

Looks like Sedevacantist movement will get bigger.

I'm wondering if the cardinals will step in and try to save the ongoing train wreck by removing him?

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

Is that even an option?

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

When it comes to power politics, everything is an option. Especially with the Vatican.

I've heard of a growing number of Roman Catholics migrating over to Eastern Orthodox, only to be disappointed in how pozzed the EO actually are in most western countries, except for old school Orthodox churches who will usually do the liturgy in Greek or some other ethnic native tongue. Which interestingly tends to keep the local parish insulated from external "Americanizing" pressures to a certain extent.

Although the EO HQs over in Europe tend to be almost as liberalised as Rome is now...

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

Are they really growing? I think a lot of anti Novus Ordo catholics aren't willing to go Sedevacantist, since that kind of puts in question their entire Catholic existence if thought about too closely...

I've heard that whatever Rite you were baptised into you have to stick with unless you get Papal permission to move over, so one stuck in the Novus Ordo Western Rite can't just switch over to say Byzantine Rite Roman Catholic.

Kind of sucks to be a Roman Catholic. :)

I’m sure the Democrat Catholics are thrilled.

There were quite a few gay catholic dudes close to my age when I was in high school. I hear they all sat together during mass. :lol

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

As you know Sedevacantists are born everyday. Especially those who are Saint Malachy believers this all fits into their eschatology. But yes, there are those switching to the Eastern Roman Church, but more are looking into the Sedevacantist message a little closer.

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

Huge amounts of homosexual Catholics...they are called priests.

Re: Pope Francis Backs Civil Unions for Gay Couple
 

That's what happens when they're barred from marrying. You know, God's plan for men and women in the Bible. Then again, when has the Catholic church ever followed the Bible.

Creepy Hair Smelling Uncle Joe is a Catholic.

Need anymore proof?
