We've heard some folks in TAW lately lauding this pope and looking up to him, which I find perplexing.....
I find it fascinating how this Pope Francis refuses to take on LGBT issues and stand up for what their church teaches on it. Kim Davis refused to issue "gay marriage" licenses, and was jailed, as we all know. And recently she met with the Pope. Interestingly enough, the Catholic Church went out of its way this week to say this:
"The pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects," Lombardi said.
Heaven forbid the Pope support Kim Davis and stick with the official teachings of the CC.
I think that's telling.....we should be careful, as Orthodox Christians with our flirtations and admiration for folks in other denominations, being cautious to size up their positions with Holy Orthodoxy....
