WOO!! THIS IS THE FIRST I’VE HEARD OF IT AND I’M SO HAPPY!!!
Guys, don't get too excited about this. I hate to rain on the parade, but the pope didn't approve same sex marriage or change the doctrine of the Catholic Church. He simply stated that gay people should be treated like family and that civil unions (not marriages) should be legal to protect them.

but it hopefully is going to lead the catholic church somewhere?
While yes, this is a big step for the legality of LGBTQ issues and religion, it won't be until the next pope where maybe we can get clearer support for same sex marriage doctrinally, and hopefully the abolishment of the Catholic "Gender Theory"
but it hopefully is going to lead the catholic church somewhere?
Absolutely, and that is something worth celebrating, I just don't want you guys misinformed
True

That's what I was meaning. Thank you for expanding on that. : )

To be honest, I’m a little disappointed in the pope for being too much of a coward to step up and say gay rights in full, but this still is a good next step.
I think it’s pretty smart actually
if you say something that bold that fast the karens aren’t going to listen
hopefully baby steps will make it less shocking to them

That’s fair.
What Ella said. I can pretty much promise by the next pope, the Catholic church will start running pride parades (metaphorically).

Or literally, even! My church is pretty active in the queer community of Battle Creek at least at pride and one of our leaders is gay which is amazing, I forget his name though.
Ooo that's neat! I love seeing religious organizations of all sorts present at Pride. I'm a simp for multiculturalism.
I'm so glad the Catholic church is finally starting to slowly come around! Unfortunately, my family is Mormon and i don't think they're going to stop being homophobic and transphobic any time soon T-T

My mom's entire side of her family is mormon and yeah… it's rough
skdewhklfw i used to go to vacation bible school and stuff when i was younger since i hadn't discovered my sexuality or my beliefs yet
and i start taking part in atheism, and my mom didn't care until:
i was at a hospital getting an EEG done, and this conversation happened:
the nurse: "do you practice a certain religion, hun?"
me: "not really…"
my mom: "but you went to vacation bible school-"
me: "i know, but still-"
