I will never understand how LGBTQIA people can remain religious after reading the bible. It literally tells people to stone you to death with big fucking rocks.

Or women picking and choosing what parts of the Old Testament to use as weapons against others
At least straight men could be argued to have self interest involved, but even then it's absurd what rules it sets.
I completely get how LGBTQ people are drawn to Jesus' message of peace and forgiveness so I can see why they'd want to be included in 'Christianity', but I don't get why they'd care about being Catholic.
If you're raised Catholic and think that's the only way into heaven and then find out that way doesn't include you- maybe rethink the initial assumption.
It's pretty easy, they should just create some sort of conversion therapy, it's not like you are born like that and there is 0 biological reason or proof for that sort of condition. I mean it's pretty easy to choose any other spiritual outlet or meaning to life than religion.
Alternate headline: "Transgender catholics show no understanding of their religion."
But... they're all in dresses all the time!
To be fair (🎵to be faiiiiiiiiiirr . . ) Jesus never said anything about trans people, and the Talmud (which Jesus was ostensibly a big fan of) has eight - count 'em eight - specific genders already specified and ready to go.
So really it's the Catholic Church who's not understanding - very possibly intentionally. But there we go. SSDD.
FWIW I think Francis got a good old fashioned political situation handed to him and, for whatever it was worth to him, caved.
But they're choosing to follow the Catholic Church by being Catholic, so the point still stands.
Not to say that the life view of any ancient peoples are wholy applicable to modern life but holy shit based
"Trans Member of Conservative Group Shocked by Mistreatment of Trans People"
It would seem that the face eating leopards are very inclusive and will eat your face regardless of what you identify as
I'm shocked, shocked I say, that the people who live in their own religious state that is walled off from the world and has been there for a thousand years don't have an understanding of the lives of modern people.
Very nice art though. Some of the best, really.
Walled off...? You really need to see for yourself the true extent of the vatican kingdom, not counting its history and the meaning of it. I'll go as far as saying that as long as there is a Catholic institution somewhere in the world, that is where the subtle power of the vatican goes.
Oh fuck the pope
