ROME — Pope Francis met a group of transsexuals in the Vatican this week, the fourth such encounter just in 2022, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano reports.
“The pope’s attention to people who live this fragility with great suffering is opening up unimaginable hopes,” said Sister Geneviève Jeanningros and Father Andrea Conocchia, a priest and religious sister that offer pastoral care for the group.
According to L’Osservatore Romano, the nun and the parish priest summarize the meeting, which took place after the pontiff’s weekly general audience Wednesday, as “revolution and hope,” words that express the meaning of the encounter for its participants.

God's not woke. If the Pope is, he's saying "I will not obey." That cannot end well for him. He's in the wrong place, the wrong frock. Where is B16? Why did he go?

Initially, I bristled at another Pope Francis headline. The more I thought about it I had to agree that many of these individuals must suffer a great deal.
If Francis can offer hope, healing and acceptance of God's Will to them that is wonderful. If he encourages their behavior and condones an unhealthy (or unholy) lifestyle, that is a real problem.

#3 - Thank you. Gentle Ldotters should not let headlines alone lead you to make untrue assumptions. At the end of the article you would learn:
"In 2020, Pope Francis denounced the 'evil' of gender theory, saying it seeks to erase the differences between men and women. Gender theory is 'dangerous,' the pope said in an interview later published as a book, because it implicitly wishes 'to destroy at the root that creative project that God wanted for each of us — diversity and distinction — by making everything homogeneous and neutral. It is an attack on difference, on God’s creativity, on man and woman. If I say this clearly, it is not to discriminate against anyone, but simply to warn everyone of the temptation of falling into the foolish project of the inhabitants of Babel: doing away with differences to seek a single language, a single form, a single people.' Francis said."
I doubt anyone in this salon would disagree with these words, or the forthright way in which Pope Francis expressed the teaching of the Catholic Church. This meeting shows the world that confused people, while struggling with sinful tendencies and temptations, can find pastoral care and understanding within the Catholic faith with people willing to walk with them on their difficult journey. Like the Church's ministry to Catholic gays and lesbians, they are encouraged to lead a celibate life. The Cross of Christ offers forgiveness and redemption to every sinner, no matter how foul, no matter how many times they fall.

Sorry for the second post but the article did not say that these were flamboyant transsexuals who ride on parade floats and flaunt homosexuality.
I have read many articles about people with gender dysphoria who were treated by therapists and doctors who, rather than helping them work through their illness, affirmed and encouraged them to transition. (What if that was how an anorexic was treated for their dysphoria?) After "waking up" years later and realizing what had been done that now could not be undone, suffer for the rest of their lives.
A lifelong Catholic, Pope Francis is a real problem for me. As I said in my other post, If Francis offered compassion for their situation and guidance on leading a life / lifestyle, that was holy and pleasing to God, accepting the fact that He was not wrong giving them the body He did, but those who ignored and exploited their mental illness were.
Now, if Francis appeared to convey a message that open homosexuality was acceptable and flamboyant "Pride Parades" were great and fun and a great way to meet little kids with a "Who am I to judge" attitude that is a very different, evil story.
People in spiritual pain, in other words sinners, no matter what the reason, need compassion and guidance to change their lives and accept God's will. If their sins caused pain and suffering to others, the acknowledgement, repentance, and acceptance of the consequences of their actions would also be required. I wouldn't expect any religious leader, of any faith, to turn them away unheard.

#3 is correct.
But Jesus was taken by a converted tax collector to meet with many of his friends who he hoped would also believe the truth that he had found.
Jesus never changed the message to meet the sensitivity of the audience. The audience was changed by His message.

To #3:
#16 makes a key point: Jesus went to eat with sinners on their home turf. Jesus never invited the sinners to a worship service in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Must remember that Jesus also told the woman caught in adultery, "go and sin no more." Jesus never condoned sin.
By welcoming the trannies onto his home turf, Francis has made the strongest public endorsement of their perversion.

Pope Francis is to Christian faith what Joe Biden is to America a total destroyer of our bedrock beliefs.
