Pope Francis condemned the “very strong, organised, reactionary attitude” in the US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
I mean their leader is charged with racketeering, so yeah, it’s an organized crime outfit.
I doubt Trump is the leader. There’s bigger people pulling strings. Trump’s a pawn with a debt.
Well yeah, that would be Putin. But things are a bit fucky for him right now too, so Trump is kinda on his own.
