In one of the most iconic moments coming out of World Youth Day, Pope Francis called on the hundreds of thousands gathered before him to yell back at him that the Catholic Church is for “todos, todos, todos” – everyone, everyone, everyone.
“Everyone is welcome here, even the gays. They’re just lesser members who can’t actually participate in the sacraments. But they’re still welcome! They’re just like, 3/5ths welcome…”
- the Catholic Church, probably
“They’re welcome here, they’re just going to hell if they don’t un-gay themselves.”
All are equally welcome to the church! Some are just more equal than others
Yeah, I as a queer person who grew up in a Catholic country I always felt very welcome
/s
It’s easy and cheap for him to just claim “it’s for everyone” without actually doing anything to address the bigotry, systemic issues, and culture surrounding the religion. I get the impression this is by intent.
“the pope was asked how he could reconcile his “todos” message with the fact that LGBTQ+ people are excluded from the sacraments. The pope answered the Church has laws, but is still a place for everyone.”
Equal but different.
Taking questions from reporters aboard his flight back to Rome after a five-day trip to Portugal, the pope was asked how he could reconcile his “todos” message with the fact that LGBTQ+ people are excluded from the sacraments. The pope answered the Church has laws, but is still a place for everyone.
Non-answers to appease all, as always.
They welcome everyone…to put money in the basket.
So sex outside marriage is a mortal sin, and we still aren’t allowed to get married in the Catholic Church. Got it.
PR pope says PR talking point. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a piece of shit homophobic bigot, long before he was made pope. Still refuses to meet or acknowledge the victims of his clergy. He’s nothing but talk, and not even his own followers listen to him. Go to any third world country full of Catholics and see if they treat LGBT people well because the pope said so.

Just so you know, your info is out of date
“But they still go to Hell forever.”
IANAP but nobody goes to hell in Catholicism. Big Catholic doesn’t want you to know but in order to go to hell you need to sin without guilt but there’s a technicality that you cannot sin without your soul feeling some guilt since the holy spirit resides within and will always experience guilt at the sin committed it means you’re good.

So they just treat you like shit because they want to. Got it.
it’s for everyone, and yet they won’t update their “rules” to actually include them.
Oh yes, it’s for everyone alright. You’re welcome to join, please help save the crumbling membership numbers, but you can never be close to equal and will never have the same rights. But it’s totally for everyone.
I’ve never understood why women support the Church in the droves that they do. It’s mainly women keeping Catholicism alive despite being treated like shit for more than a thousand years.
Yeah, ok, sure Francis.
How self loathing can a person be?
“I need to pick a religion, but I can’t decide which… oh, yes, Catholicism looks good.”
You 👏 don’t 👏 need 👏 religion. Just live your life. Make genuine connections with friends. Be good to everyone. Try to leave the world better than it would have been without you. No magic required.
The magic isn’t even real.
Great, now ask most Catholics what they think of this idea.
Everyone including pedophiles?
Uh… From what I’ve seen in the news, especially the pedophiles.
Actions speak louder than words.
💀
No it fucking isn’t. Fuck the pope.
Good for Pope Francis.
