re: Uh oh...everyone's favorite "pro gay" Pope just shite in the punchbowl

As a Catholic, it is hard to accept the proclamations of a Pope who refuses to excommunicate the likes of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi who use their power and authority to make the act of abortion a possibility and publicly claim to be a Catholic. Yet here he is telling a family that the very act of bringing a child into this world via surrogacy is a sin.

Will the surrogacy is a bit of a derailment, but....

None of these decisions are Pope Francis' original thoughts or interpretations. You can't look at it as Francis "owning" or "condemning" things.

Pope's do not excommunicate that often (and it's usually clergy they are working on), and for what Biden and Nancy do - it's tough to say they should be. As bad as they are, there are many Catholics equally guilty. Or equally holding opinions. Politicians have stages, but that does not separate them. They answer to a higher power - and the church can definitely survive their influence, minimal as it is.
