IS IT ALL OVER NOW ....

 ... Baby Blue?


Hey! I read some good news (see what I did there?) today. Pope Frank's putting the boot into the Catholic Church again. Well done that man.

Pope Francis has called for an end to anti-gay laws and welcomes LGBTQ  people into the Church. It's a late welcome for all those LGBQT priests, brothers and nuns already in the Church but ... better late than never. The big news though is that women ... remember them? .... are welcome too and will be able to have voting rights.
Frank criticised laws that criminalise homosexuality as “unjust”, and said that God loves all his children just as they are and has called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.

“Being homosexual isn’t a crime,” Francis said on Tuesday in an interview.
This is important because next, if homosexuality isn't a crime the Catholic Church might finally admit that it isn't a sin either. They're still a bit conflicted over this though, even Pope Francis:
Francis articulated the position: “It’s not a crime. Yes, but it’s a sin. Fine, but first let’s distinguish between a sin and a crime.”

“It’s also a sin to lack charity with one another,” he added.
The Church apparently won't recognise marriages between gay and lesbian people because 'it's a sin'.



You can read about it here (Robert, you might need to confess if you read it though):

END OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

Well, not yet until Frank mans up and denounces all of the silly stuff not just some of it. He could be the new Martin Luther.
