unless Pope Francis changes specific church doctrines this exact minute*, they're pretty unimpressed
Its not that I don't like his talk. Its that the Church's walk has been deadly harmful. The Church's present position concerning homosexuality is itself "disordered" in the sense that it is "ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil". (I chose my words from their own.)
I don't accept, apologize for, or in any way defend such a position. When Francis reverses this, or even plants seeds to do so, I'll be pleased, but twice shy.
