Breaking: Pope is Catholic

The liberal love affair for the new Pope is quite silly.

Quote:

Pope Francis has condemned couples who deliberately choose not to have children, labelling their decision as “selfish”, just weeks after insisting that Catholics do not need to “breed like rabbits”. Speaking to his general audience in St Peter’s Square, Pope Francis declared a society with a “greedy generation,” which described as considering children a weight or a risk, a “depressed society,” the Guardian reports. ... It is not the first time the Pope has come out with contradictory statements; two years ago when making reference to LGBT worshippers, he told journalists: “If a person seeks God and has goodwill, then who am I to judge?” ... But the Vatican backtracked on the Pope’s suggestion, calling it an “unacceptable” deviation from church teachings. Since then Pope Francis has flip-flopped in his opinions on LGBT matters. In November he defended marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. He claimed the “complementarity” of the two sexes is “at the root of marriage and the family”. Then in December the pontiff declared the church should help families with gay children - but rebuffed ideas that he supported gay marriage. Now he appears to have backtracked further on the issue, taking a firmer stance against same-sex marriage, claiming “the family” is threatened by the growing efforts by people “to redefine the very institution of marriage”. “These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation,” he said in January, to the further disappointment of LGBT campaigners.
