The Pope is making headlines lately for all the right reasons. As a reformed Roman Catholic turned agnostic/spiritualist (don’t judge me, it’s my life), I tend to avoid any and all religious news, but this time around I’m glad I was paying attention.
What happens when the guy who is the head priest in charge starts talking about how sex is divine AND how it’s cool for LGBTQ+ folks to get hitched? The world is about to find out, my Peepz.
Pope Francis was interviewed for a book by Carlo Petrini called Terra Futura. In the book, he talks about all sorts of things that he believe the church has gotten wrong in the past. My favorite thing is that he talks about overzealous morality being a wrong interpretation of the Christian message.
Say it louder for all the people in the back!
That’s not all though. He’s also the subject of a new documentary that was premiered at the Rome Film Festival. In the movie, he talks about how all people, regardless of their sexual identities, should be allowed to be in civil unions. Especially with the world being turned on it’s head with hate being completely visible and sometimes accepted in certain communities, I love the fact that he has decided to take a stand.
Listen, is the Catholic church fucked up? Absolutely, 100%…however, I’ve got to give a shout out to the fact that he’s trying to change the old school opinions about what backwards people believe “the truth,” about that faith is.
It’s all in the interpretation of things.
I’ve definitely got my own baggage, but I’m kind of psyched that someone in power in the Roman Catholic Church is speaking out about the hate that so many of it’s members preach. It’s completely fucked up.
Sex feels good. Eating delicious food is divine. It’s cool if people want to get hitched if they’re into each other. These are all the lessons that everyone should be learning.
While I’m on my soapbox about this topic though, let’s get all those deviants out of places of power and get some therapy for all on the table.
