God made you like this and loves you like this and I don’t care. The pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are.Needless to say, this has caused a certain stir in conservative Catholic circles. I’m not clear why anyone should be surprised, though. It is completely in character with Francis’ entire pastorate.
When Francis says something similar to a child-abusing priest, it will solve the “priests molesting children under their pastoral care” problem. Why didn’t his predecessors think of this ‘brilliant’ solution?
