Pope Francis Trashes Transgender Teens

In his new letter on marriage and the family, Amoris Laetitia (“The Joy of Love”), Francis claims that teaching kids about safe sex “promotes narcissism,” that transgender teens should just stop complaining and “accept their own body as it was created,” and that same-sex couples are not “legitimate families.”

Claiming that transgender teens are “self-centered” and “self-absorbed,” Francis writes:

The young need to be helped to accept their own body as it was created, for thinking that we enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often subtly, into thinking that we enjoy absolute power over creation.

An appreciation of our body as male or female is also necessary for our own self-awareness in an encounter with others different from ourselves. In this way we can joyfully accept the specific gifts of another man or woman, the work of God the Creator, and find mutual enrichment.

Remind me again how "progressive" and "liberal" the Wonderpope is.

3. The Roman Catholic Church is shutting parish by parish in the developed world.

Several Catholics Schools are closing their doors in the Northeast this year.

Keep it up and you will have no left to finance your bullshit.

Pope Photo-Op, dropping his guard and reminding everyone he really truly is a homophobe at heart.

6. That article's over a year old, as is the document.

Are you running out of anti-Catholic stories to post, trotsky?

Here's the actual document if anyone wants to read it without trotsky's filter.
