’s report described the Vatican’s statement as "combative," warning that the move "threatens to widen the chasm between the church and much of the LGBTQ community."
The legacy media and many American and global institutions have rushed to embrace the hyper-charged sexual revolution of recent years, a revolution that weaponizes the language of "tolerance," equates same-sex relationships with marriage, hints at polygamy, pushes nebulous gender identity over biological sex, and demonizes dissent from this agenda as "bigotry."
