Do you think that Catholics will warmly welcome this or will they go berserk and switch to Mel Gibson's Catholicism?

Quote:At a private Vatican audience with Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles this past month, Pope Leo XIV made a bit of quiet history.
The two men — Alex Capecelatro, a renowned tech entrepreneur and CEO of Josh.ai, and his husband Brian D. Stevens, a celebrated Catholic philanthropist — were part of Gomez’s delegation.
When Pope Leo learned “we are married,” Alex later said on social media, he received them with unmistakable warmth and kindness, not a hint of hesitation.
For Capecelatro, who wasn’t raised Catholic, the moment was especially heartwarming alongside Brian, a devout Catholic.
Speaking with an English-speaking pope whose message is unity and peace, they felt fully welcome in the Church’s embrace.

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"
