The latest horror! Pope Francis is on the cover page of The Advocate, a "gαy" magazine. Yuk!!
So much for two Protestant friends who WERE thinking of becoming Catholic. This is a deal breaker for them both.

So, Holy Father, I'm sure your very pleased when the world and sodomites praise you?

Can it really get anymore obvious that the man isn't Catholic?

I am convinced that for some folks he could say "I am not Catholic" and they would somehow explain it away.

And some of those folks reside right here on CathInfo.

What did Pope Francis do that was scandalous? The same week that he made that "Who am I to judge" comment, the Vatican announced the excommunication of a gαy advocating priest.

Poche, when only one is excommunicated out of thousands, and it is publicized, that's called propaganda not discipline. It would be a matter of intellectual vice for most, to believe that is an actual sign of overall efficacious enforcement of moral and divine law when vast numbers go untouched.

People who believe something because of a single incident are not discerning properly. Such appeals to sentimentalism rather than reality are a sign of an effeminate approach to discernment rather than appropriate use of the intellectual virtues.

If thousands are murdered every day, and then one murder is caught and imprisoned -- but the police ignore the rest, are the police performing their function properly?

No. Perhaps in North Korea that would pass as efficacious enforcement, but not in a just society.
