gustofwindIt’s really discombobulating after 2000 so years to finally see a Christian practice what they preach
And the fact that he’s a US Christian only adds to the discombobulation
All Catholics are Christian, but all Christians are definitely not Catholic
If you talk to some american christians they will tell you catholics aren’t christians.
If you talk to some Americans they will tell you that many American Christians aren’t Christians.
Well it’s literally a definition thing. You can argue that they aren’t true believers or something asking those lines but Catholicism is literally, by definition, a Christian faith.
I think what they mean by “christian” is protestant but they don’t know what that word means so just say “catholics aren’t christians”.
WytchA rare privilege. I hope he takes advantage and learns something from it.
Modern speed dating is weird. Four at once?
Chloé 🥕reports have indicated that he’s looking to join the seattle polycule 👀
altkey (he\him)I do this every Sunday and I’m not a dick that enables pedophiles. Where’s my news coverage?
“I’m here with someone who eats brunch and wants you to know about it. What do you have to say for yourself?”
Maybe between the main course & dessert we’ll have Pope Leona?
I’m not being sarcastic or snarky not a paying Catholic customer but I’d be all cool with a gender switcheroo.

The Pope does NOT Represent ME!
-Christian Nationalists!
Literally yes for most of them. Christian Nationalism tends to be more of an Evangelical Protestant thing. Most of them thing the Pope is straight up satanic.
Well yeah non-Catholic Christians are a thing.

Meeting people face to face is often a pretty good way to get over hangups about them. The closer you are to a person the harder it is to remain bigoted about them. I hope this will have some positive effect.
Edit: where I live there are Catholic schools that are explicit about being pro-LGBTQ+, with big pride flags on display and a policy of supporting gay and trans kids against bullying and discrimination. I have known trans kids that were happy at these schools. Their school may not be changing the official stance of the Vatican, and we might rather not have Christian schools at all, but I still think it’s worthwhile and important that a Catholic school makes explicit these messages of support and respect for its students. Even without the Catholic church officially progressing, a good number of Catholics and Catholic institutions are.
right so just pick and choose when the bible says whatever you want or dont want it to.
It’s what everyone does. Which doesn’t make all interpretations equal, but anyone who tries to live according to that book is picking and choosing and interpreting in some way.
Literally can not read the first book without it contradicting itself. The two genesis accounts are incompatible. If that was human error who’s to say what was and what wasn’t.
Yes. Interpreting the word of God is literally the clergy’s job lmao.
According to catholics god speaks through the pope (in certain circumstances). I don’t know how much more direct you can get than god telling you to chill out.

the Pope doesn’t. he is directly receiving the word of God, so anything he says is from God himself. except yknow, none of that is true and everything the Pope does is politically strategic and meant to bring more folks into Catholicism.
I’m cynical, but a Catholic friend argues that the church’s resistance to change is natural if you consider how long it has existed. Big changes take decades, if not longer. She argues that whilst this sucks for many Catholics who are struggling with a disconnect between their faith and the church in the here and now, that slower changes in the church’s stance towards LGBTQ people will make those changes more resilient in the long term.
Effectively, she’s saying that on this path, she believes that in 200 years from now, the church will likely still exist and be pushing for LGBTQ rights, and that by operating on a different timescale to countries’ politics, they will be an especially effective advocate. An example she used was how Trump’s administration has contributed to fickle corporations opting out of pride stuff. For better or for worse, the church is less fickle.
For context, my friend is queer and is in community with trans people (including trans Catholics), but is not trans herself.
They get some (hopefully for them, good) press.
