Breaking Pope Ousts Top Vatican Judge Known For Incendiary Anti-Gay Comments - The New Civil Rights Movement

"American Cardinal Raymond Burke, a darling of conservative Catholics who is virulently anti-gay, has confirmed to BuzzFeed what rumors from Rome have said for weeks. He will be demoted by Pope Francis from the head of the Roman Catholic Church's version of the Supreme Court to a figurehead role as the Patron of the Knights of Malta"

He made a very public spectacle of disagreeing with the Pope. It doesn't mean that the Pope is ready to have gay weddings in the Cathedral. It means that the Cardinal went too far. He didn't learn his lesson last time.

At the Vatican, a Shift in Tone Toward Gays and Divorce

OCT. 13, 2014

VATICAN CITY — In a marked shift in tone likely to be discussed in parishes around the world, an assembly of Roman Catholic bishops convened by Pope Francis at the Vatican released a preliminary document on Monday calling for the church to welcome and accept gay people, unmarried couples and those who have divorced, as well as the children of these less traditional families.

The bishops’ report, issued midway through a landmark two-week meeting, does not change church doctrine or teaching, and will now be subjected to fierce debate and revision at the assembly.

But it is the first signal that the institutional church may follow the direction Francis has set in the first 18 months of his papacy, away from condemnation of unconventional family situations and toward understanding, openness and mercy.

The 12-page report, written by a committee picked by Francis, says that without abandoning church teaching on the sacrament of marriage, pastors should recognize that there are “positive aspects of civil unions and cohabitation.” That is a striking departure from traditional Catholic preaching that such couples are “living in sin.”

The report also says that gay people have “gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community,” and that some gay couples provide each other “mutual aid to the point of sacrifice” and “precious support in the life of the partners.”

WWJD?


Archbishop Bruno Forte, the synod’s special secretary, said in a news conference afterward that while the church does not condone gay unions or gay marriage, it must “respect the dignity of every person.”

“The fundamental idea is the centrality of the person independently of sexual orientation,” he said.


they finally figured out What Jesus Would Do!

Good on the Pope. His entire tenure has consisted of trying to save that sect from itself Given all the gaffes prior to his appointment. Doing a pretty darned good job at it too, I might add.

Another good move by this Pope. What kind of "christian" cardinal uses homophobic slurs?

 

[Circle_Breaker]

LOL at the OP for posting this like its a bad thing. Sure the vocal 5% of ultra conservative christians might get pissy. The rest of them are glad to see the changes that this Pope is bringing to the church.
