We all know there's a new Pope. As
a former Catholic, I'm incensed that they've picked another hate-filled
man, so totally out of touch that will keep the church in the Middle Ages. NOW, before you think I'm being Negative, or nasty, you need to know some things.
In his acceptance,this new Pope called gay people
like me "of the devil" and said that gay marriage is "evil." Anyone that knows me or people like me knows I'm far from "evil." What kind of "loving" person attacks ANYONE in their acceptance in a position that is supposed to represent the unconditional love of God? The previous Pope did the same thing during the Christmas homily. Yes, the Christmas message included hatred and intolerance for gay people.
This is NOT what a church about a loving God should be.
He's
Anti-abortion even if the mother's life is at risk. He's
anti-contraception, too. SO, the Catholic church had a chance to come
into the present, but remains in the middle ages. It's disgusting.
Don't believe me?
The Huffington Post reports that: "Pope Francis is a conservative who is anti-gay marriage and anti-gay adoption. He has described same-sex marriage as the work of the devil and a “destructive attack on God’s plan.” He has also said that gay adoption is a form of discrimination against children. In 2010, Francis championed against a bill for same-sex marriage and gay adoption, according to the National Catholic Register."

So, here's another hate-monger who may spend more time bashing gay people
and denying them of having their marriages like mine legally recognized.
If I were still Catholic, I wouldn't be celebrating this Pope, I'd be mourning. The Church remains in the Middle Ages while society becomes more civilized, and more accepting of people who are different - After all, God loves EVERYONE.
