Pope Francis last week approved a ruling at the Vatican that permitted priests to administer blessings to same-sex couples.

    Christian leader encourages love. Heretics/Pharisees get very angry and call for more hate. And Jesus wept.

      Last I remember, Jesus never wept for the Pharisee but instead got angry and invoked the Table Flip meme.

      Like this.

      Punishment for heresy is excommunication, used to be a fine and or imprisonment and sometimes to be burnt alive. Bible says to warn them twice then ignore them entirely ostracizing them from society. If they were real christens they should be canceling each other for biblical wrong think. Its hilarious that people who dont follow the faith, regularly know more about what the bible says then people who are adamant “followers”.

      “Heretics.”

      It may be convenient to distance yourself from this, but Christians that don’t actively support LGBTQ+ issues are still Christians. They’re not “heretics”.

      In fact, I would say that the Christians that have decided to ignore parts of their supposed holy book because it isn’t convenient are more akin to “heretics.”

      The bible is full of hate and bigotry, and it is very clear about homosexuality. As much as people want them to be, the two are not compatible.

      You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
