re: Pope Denounces ‘Hypocrisy’ of Those Who Criticize LGBT Blessings

So about these articles you posted I’m not going to go into the article and address each individual point but I will give my general thoughts on the matter.

I think the majority of the criticisms are reading their own bias into what the Pope says. A classic example is in the second link you posted. They claim that Pope Francis is committing heresy by saying that only faith is required to recieve holy communion. I could easily read it another way. Based on what I read about everyone being invited to the supper of the lamb is that God, who desires that all be saved, desires that all come to the wedding feast of the lamb. Being that is scriptural I don't see an issue with it. The wedding feast of the lamb is scriptural imagery for heaven. You may have a theological disagreement with what Pope Francis but that is far from heresy.

Another issue with these articles is their bias comes through in their articles, and they come from a perspective that since Pius XII no Pope has been legitimately elected.

I think the most you can reasonably say about Pope Francis is that he has made many poor judgments in his words and his actions. But this is far from being a heretic.

Hope everyone is having a nice Mardi Gras. For the Catholics in the thread, have a good start to your lent!
