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
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.
Yeah, I, as a queer person who grew up in a Catholic country, always felt very welcome

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.
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.
Also, how does he claim to be pro lgbt while passing decrees that prevent priests from blessing same sex unions?

Just so you know, your info is out of date
it’s for everyone, and yet they won’t update their “rules” to actually include them.
