No change to “not a sin to be gay, it is a sin to have gay sex”. Add on that gay couples are now officially “irregular”.

Wow, great strides there. (👈sarcasm)

In response to a question of whether transgender people can be baptized, the doctrinal office said they could with some conditions and as long as there is “no risk of causing a public scandal or disorientation among the faithful”.

A transgender person would “cause a public scandal” according to any priest that doesn’t want to include trans people. This announcement is pointless, it changes nothing.

When the system allows racists, sexists, homophobes, etc. to wield authority, then the system is racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.

Heh. Who saw this coming when Musk initially got involved in Twitter?

Bought. Tanked. Paying a 00’s celebrity to endorse a pink icon. Next up is hire Aaron Carter to sign the app startup jingle? But only for paying subscribers though, ofc.

Of some formulations, yes, there is a shortage going on like a year now. Nothing in the article indicates that it is why this dude isn’t having his prescription made available to him.

“[…] despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours.”

So he’s not being given his full prescribed amount? WTF. Give it to him.

I don’t really care if this guy is trying to use ADHD as an excuse for his crimes or not. I DO NOT want judges and lawyers deciding if I really need my prescribed meds or if maybe I can get by on half. I would call that a human rights violation.

Just give him his damn prescribed meds. Full stop. His ADHD is then off the table as a possible excuse.

0% surprised by this.

Nah, some Catholica do. Some are pissed a Jesuit priest, among the most progressive of orders, is the pope.

Also, his word isn’t as binding as you think unless he speaks ex cathedra, which no Pope has done in decades outside canonizing saints. The pope can say all he wants about gay marriage or global warming or whatever, it’s not binding unless he says it ex cathedra and it will be a cold day in hell before he does something like that. It would split the church apart immediately.

“I’m ready to be vilified to defend my ideals,”

Ok. He’s a gross, sexist man who any organization should be embarrassed to have as a representative.

“I grabbed that part of my body that you have already seen”

Ah, so he’s done this sort of thing before. Repeat behavior, unapologetic and doubling down on it. This should take the Spanish FA less than 24 hours to kick him out and issue an apology statement for having kept him on for as long as they did.
