Well, he is certainly correct on that score. Interesting since the Lavender Mafia has been calling the shots in his pontificate. Elderly people in decline often lose their verbal filters and sometimes begin telling what they perceive as truth bluntly. Something is going on with the Pope.

Me: “There’s no such thing as samesex-marriage,(laughter) that’s an oxymoron.”
Am I old?
Maybe there is such a thing as a Scranton Mind Meld. (?)
I don’t understand him nor can I keep up with his changing views. Obviously gays shouldn’t enter the seminary. Obviously.
I think Pope Francis hates homosexuals, but he hates conservatives and traditionalists more, so he will use homosexual sentiment against conservatives and traditionalists because he knows how much that angers us. Remember: he is a Marxist Peronist Caudillo, always using one side against another. Now maybe yes he is a victim of stoke or senility or some other age-related cognitive decline. But given the fact that his mind started out at such a low intelligence level to begin with, one wonders how much of a decline is needed before everyone realizes he’s babbling like Joe Biden and $h1tt1ng in his underwear.
People have told me for years “the Truth will out”
I hope we as church can “handle the truth!”
We have looked back at false teachers in the past and we must also look at the actions of those successful teachers who kept “righting” the ship – with hope, steering the narrow course between those two famous pillars
For what it’s worth, I think Papa Francesco dislikes “teh gays” on a visceral level, but likes or tolerates them on a personal level, so long as they are or have been useful to him. After all, he’s the one that appointed that smorfioso as the prefect of Santa Marta–and he’s a known froccio (just borrowing the papal vocabulary!) but also a known friend of the Pontiff. Soon after, though, he boots that bishop in Uruguay and the other in northern Italy because they have a “gay problem” in their seminaries. However, both were of a traditional bent.
