What religion supports FGM though? The only one I can think you attributing it to is Islam, since most FGMs occur in Islamic countries. But even still, that's a tribal practice as Islam doesn't require it and numerous fatwahs have been issued against it. So no major world religion supports it. In fact, rates of FGM have been down since after colonialism, so it would be safe to say that the growth of Christianity and Islam in Africa has actually helped to extinguish the practice. And how can the West oppose FGM and circumcision, especially when voluntarily, but support men getting their penises bludgeoned in the name of feeling like a woman?

Love don't mean what "sick liberals" think they mean in the Christian sense. Love means to reprove your brother and stop him from going down the wrong path. It is incumbent upon Christians to love everyone, by correcting them when they fall in error. That's what true love is. And the liberals aren't advocating for "tolerance." They want affirmation of homosexual wrongdoing and want us all to pretend as if that is normal/good. That's the major issue.

Utter rubbish. The Holy Father's comments were from a 2019 interview and were heavily edited and there's also been a suggestion that he was mistranslated. This was the FULL context and the words which appeared in the documentary are in bold. And notice that he said "that doesn't mean to approve of homosexual acts." And regarding the comments about civil unions, the Holy Father used the term "ley de convivencia civil," which roughly translates into "civil coexistence." It CAN mean civil unions, but not in the context he used it in. He was talking about anti-discrimination laws, so homosexuals aren't mistreated because of their sexuality etc. But the media ran with it and are making it appear as if his comments resulted in some change in Church Doctrine. That's false. He didn't go against Church teaching which states that homosexual acts are sinful and that it is WRONG to give any legal recognition to homosexual unions (CDF, 2002). Besides, comments made by the Pope have ZERO effect on Church teaching unless they are made "from the Chair," using a specific formula.

“I was asked a question on a flight - after it made me mad, made me mad for how one news outlet transmitted it - about the familial integration of people with homosexual orientation, and I said, **homosexual people have a right to be in the family**, people with homosexual orientation have a right to be in the family and parents have the right to recognize that son as homosexual, that daughter as homosexual. **Nobody should be thrown out of the family, or be made miserable because of it.**”

“Another thing is, I said when you see some signs in the children and from there send them to - I should have said a ‘professional,’ what came out was ‘psychiatrist.’ I meant to say a professional because sometimes there are signs in adolescence or pre-adolescence that they don’t know if they are homosexually oriented or if it is that the thymus gland didn’t atrophy in time. Who knows, a thousand things, no? So, a professional. The title of the daily paper: ‘The Pope sends homosexuals to the psychiatrist.’ It’s not true!”

“They asked me the same question another time and I repeated it, ‘**They are children of God, they have a right to a family, and such**.’ Another thing is - and I explained I was wrong with that word, but I meant to say this: When you notice something strange - ‘Ah, it’s strange.’ - No, it’s not strange. Something that is outside of the usual. That is, not to take a little word to annul the context. There, what I said is that they ‘have a right to a family.’ **And that doesn’t mean to approve of homosexual acts, not at all.”**
