Patronizing says we will "tolerate" their ignorance while we know better.
No, it doesn't. It just says we appreciate all the good things this man has accomplished in this world. If you patronize one man, you don't patronize every single one of his actions and beliefs. Otherwise, we wouldn't have anyone to patronize, because no one is perfect.
No one on here has said they agreed with the Pope's position on gays. No one has patronized that ideal. But we can still patronize a man despite his imperfections.
Martin Luther King was supposedly a womanizer. Does that mean I should tell people to stop patronizing him? No way! MLK is in my to 5 respected people of all time. I forgive him for being a womanizer. He did a lot more good than bad in this world.
