    45 years too late for AIDS victims and their loved ones, but thanks I guess. Maybe he can get the message to Ronald Regan.

    This is big news.

    Can Pope command ACB on how to vote?

    It is notable how much US Catholics will ignore the Pope.

    I am fairly certain the vast majority of my practicing Catholic friends will not approve of this.

    They probably won't but considering the Pope is anti-abortion, against contraception, against the death penalty, believes in Climate Change, anti-Trump, and criticized developed nations for not doing more to help poorer nations how many US Catholics follow all of those and act or vote on all of those?

    Just to add in just this month we've seen those on the Right accuse those on the Left of being anti-Catholic over Amy Coney Barrett. Those on the Left accuse those on the Right for being anti-Catholic since Biden is a Catholic and the Pope has criticized Trump.

    You mean the Communist Pope who approves of homosexuality and soon to be abortions. Soon he will say Jesus wasn't straight and that the Church is guilty of great sins against the world and should disband.


    Nah they must love this guy.

    I seriously doubt the Pope will ever approve of abortion, so I don't know why you woukd say that.

    Do you have a problem with homosexuality?

    I don't read into this any support from the Pope for gay marriage or for homosexuality. It seems to me that he's making a distinction between what's appropriate within the church versus in civil society.

    Very much.

    I think it's a good move and is the right compromise between the secular world as it is and the religious. There is now way Benedict would've made such a compromise.

    Isn't that like a Staff Sargent disagreeing with the Head of the Joint Chiefs?

    I'm sure there are a lot of Catholics who don't like this. That goes to the point of how many US Catholics actually follow all of what the Pope says.

    No. Just communism. But Catholics may have an opinion on that. Do you have a problem with gay people?
