Is this man actually trying to get into heaven or something?

Pope Francis says to avoid Rigid Ideologies?

So, pope Francis says to avoid Catholicism.

In the name of the father, the son, and the holy Spirit. Amen.

How do you be gay and catholic?

Are we gonna end up with an anti-pope?

I really don't know, I just know the term and it sounds cool.

“Let us remain vigilant against rigid ideological positions that often, under the guise of good intentions, separate us from reality and prevent us from moving forward"

Never expected pope to diss christianity.

Can he avoid fucking with the US Supreme Court and stopping his legions of priests from fucking small children?

It's official, the Pope identifies as ideofluid

May this be the beginning of the end of this fucking cult.

What is even the point of religion now? They profess to be a moral compass, but when they catch-up with the times, half of their followers cry "traitor!".

Too bad choir boys can't dodge rigid idealogues.

lol. His entire life is dogma; his position, home, city, and organization are a rigid and non critical exercise.

Recently heard a catholic who once tried to tell me that everything the pope does is ordained by God, and therefore "good", go on a tangent about how the pope is now corrupted by Satan and "needs to be taken care of" with the clear intention that someone should murder the pope over his "not as negative as it used to be" view of lgbtq.

Weird how their priorities used to be "God church family country" back then and all it took was a little taste of fascism to turn them To "my chosen human replacement for Jesus, the group of people who look and vote the way I do, THEN maybe church, family mixed in there too if they look and vote the same way I do"

Sort of like Christianity?

Nothing is real anymore

It's good for the soul to avoid rigid ideologies... Perhaps all ideologies.

Jesus Christ.

Seems a little too late to try and pivot and get young parishioners back. They gone, people don't go back to their old religion.

This isn't an actual step forward, just a ploy to keep religion going for as long as possible.

It's obviously all a lie, they just keep softening their policies to stay relevant in modern times. Imagine if they stuck to their old believes from a few hundred years ago or actually followed the bible, they'd become irrelevant in just one generation.

So instead they adapt to keep their power.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Pope Francis urged Vatican bureaucrats Thursday to avoid “rigid ideological positions” that prevent them from understanding today’s reality, an appeal made days after he formally allowed priests to bless same-sex couples in a radical change of Vatican policy.

Francis used his annual Christmas greeting to the Holy See hierarchy to encourage the cardinals, bishops and laypeople who run the Vatican to listen to one another and to others so they can evolve to truly offer service to the Catholic Church.

“Let us remain vigilant against rigid ideological positions that often, under the guise of good intentions, separate us from reality and prevent us from moving forward,"the pope said.

"We are called instead to set out and journey, like the Magi, following the light that always desires to lead us on, at times along unexplored paths and new roads.”

Progressives and advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church hailed Francis' declaration as a long-overdue gesture of welcome and acceptance.

Citing the teachings of the modernizing Second Vatican Council, he urged the assembled prelates to listen to one another, discern decisions and then journey forward, without being tied to preconceived prejudices.
