Pope Francis backing same sex unions isn´t a surprise. But it´s still a big deal.
The Pope recently expressed support for gay marriage. Yes, I know it was in an interview from 2019, but this particular segment has never been shown before. Yes, I know "same sex union" is nominally *not* the same thing as "gay marriage". Except, of course, that it really is. No, I don´t know whether the Pope was making an official, semi-official, non-semi official, ex officio or whatever-whatever kind of statement according to Catholic canon law as promulgated by the university of Bologna in 1275 AD (or is it CE to this Pope), but this doesn´t matter. Francis is Pope, remember?
And yes, this means that the Catholic Church will split. Which is probably for the best for everyone concerned. The liberals can join the Anglican Communion, moderates can form a conciliarist Church with Anglo-Catholic tendencies (I´m willing to join its esoteric section) and the fundamentalists can stop pretending and finally come out as sedevacantistas.
Win - win.
Is Hunter Biden a devout Catholic?
ReplyDeleteJag tror att de är en för trög byråkratisk apparat för att splittras hux fluz.
ReplyDeleteAntagligen sant, och det kan ju ersätta Franciskus med en konservativ kardinal inom några år...
