Pope is getting his holy ass whipped by bishops who still want to hate/ persecute gays, and who even seem to consider the pope a heretic
Quote:US Cardinal Raymond Burke hits out at Pope Francis for sowing 'confusion' among Catholics by endorsing same-sex unions and says the pontiff's 'private opinion' does not 'correspond to the teachings of the Church'
American bishops have hit out at Pope Francis for endorsing same sex unions
Cardinal Burke said Francis's remarks are 'devoid of Magisterial weight' and 'do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church'
Cardinal O'Malley and Bishop Tobin also spoke, calling remarks 'private opinions'
Francis called same-sex couples 'children of God' and 'have right to be a family'

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
