Pope Frank urges openness and vigilance amid same-sex blessing controversy
[GEO.TV] Pope Francis
...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...
, in his Christmas greetings to the Curia, the Vatican's central administration, cautioned against inflexible ideological positions that may impede the Church's progress, addressing concerns following the recent approval of blessings for same-sex couples.

At 87, the pontiff acknowledged the ongoing debate between progressives and conservatives, emphasising the need to avoid rigid ideologies.

Expressing a commitment to journeying forward, Pope Francis invoked the imagery of the Magi, urging Christians to follow the guiding light even on unexplored paths.

This comes in the wake of a divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
 ruling allowing priests to administer blessings to same-sex couples under specific conditions, triggering both support and opposition within the Church.

While welcoming the pope's gesture, many conservatives voiced concerns, fearing it might challenge the foundations of faith and potentially lead to a Church schism.

Pope Francis, elected ten years ago, has consistently sought to foster inclusivity without altering traditional Church teachings on moral issues, particularly emphasising a welcoming stance towards the LGBT community.

Is any surprised the given this Popes Social and New Normal agenda history?

IF there still is a GOD fearing sinless College of Cardinals. When will he be removed?

Or is the goal to mimic the Church of Satin to put butts in the seats and $$M$$ back in the pilfered Churches coffers?

#5 ^ #4 as in the Martin Luther 95 Theses?
Where he called out the Vatican over 500 years ago for its abuses and sins even then. Thus cementing the foundation for Protestant church growth.

Sunday morning: "We're here for your blessings."
