Good thing is that the Pope has no real power beyond those who swallow his bullshit. LGBT are not obligated to bow to his bullshit.
Funny, because in the other thread you seemed to think the Pope DID have that power. Make up your mind.

Do you have any concept of the word "Nuance"?
The Pope/Vatican does have power and influence. But not in any western government law making power.
He only has power over those who follow him. Nobody in the open free west is mandated by government to worship him or his religion. He has no power over same sex couples.
His proclaiming the Vatican cannot bless same sex unions because "it is a sin" is an attempt for that institution to assert power over others.
