I don’t know why the headline made me Imagine the Pope getting really excited and calling all his homies in cause he found out what sex is
“Brothers, look, we had it wrong this whole time. It says ‘Celebrate’!”
Me learning about masturbation for the first time: 😳
The priest showing me: 🤫
h-h–hh–hholy shit 💀
“So are little boys!” — the clergy
That would be doctrinal breaktrough, but the long strings of popes saying whatever they find convenient at the moment tuned the formal requirements for pope to be infallible pretty high. And i won’t even mention that whatever cool thing Francis ever said as a pope have exactly zero influence on church reality.
That would be doctrinal breaktrough
No it wouldn’t. This is a standard way of talking about marriage in oppressive religions, including Catholicism
So by “relationships” he just meant “marriage” as church always did? It’s clear from the context he is not, since lower there is mentions of “same-sex relationships”, not to mention even the word itself suggest any something wider.
I think he’s intentionally vague when using the word relationships. The word does not explicitly mean any one thing. But yeah sex within marriage has always been praised in Christianity. It’s been a big selling point of marriage in general. I don’t see anything in the article to suggest he’s explicitly blessed homosexual sex or truly changed any doctrine.
Yeah, if that was taken on a face value then the acceptance of all kinds of extramarital relationships would be a big doctrinal change, but nothing is happening, as i noted in my first post.
Or is it the result of years of evolution to increase reproduction?
Theistic evolution believers: why not both
So is the pope speaking for/to God or not? Fucking Religions can’t even be consistent within their own made up framework.
If he’s standing it’s his own words.
If he’s sitting on his “throne” then it’s the word of God and the Pope is infallible.
Doesn’t make any sense rationally, but that’s how they differentiate.
He can say this progressive stuff while standing and it just pisses conservative Catholics off.
If he does it “from the throne” we’ll likely see a formal split and conservative Catholics may even nominate their own Pope and officially split.
So, as with any other person, when “on the throne” more shit comes out?
Is this actually true?
Do you mean is it Catholic doctorine?
Yep.
If you meant “does God literally speak thru the Pope but only when he’s on his special golden throne?”
Then no, it’s not true

I wonder if the choir boys feel the same way
IIRC Song of songs is all about s3x or the pleasure of it. I struggled when i first read it back when i was still one of them.

Pretty sure sexual pleasure is the result of friction, nerve endings, a bunch of neuro-chemicals, and a whole lot of fetishes. If anyone is letting us enjoy sexual pleasure, it’s the other department.
