Pope Leo XIV confirmed his intent to include LGBTQ parishioners within the Catholic Church ahead of their planned Holy Year pilgrimage to Vatican City.
Moot* but yeah, I agree. If religion was based purely on fact, or anything resembling reality, it wouldn’t need to change. But since it’s a construct made out of a desire to understand things, it has to change. Especially with the advent of science. Since science progresses, religion must as well or they’ll lose everybody eventually. Personally, I don’t see this as anything but a way to shore up their numbers, like when recruitment is down in the military, they start accepting people that they ordinarily wouldn’t.
