Wow! Amazing! Incredible! Surprising! Enlightening!
Pope Francis has hit a home run two times in a row over the weekend. Who knew he could play Religious Leader so well?
To discover his Real Pope Colours, we had to wait until he forged forth into another country (Brazil) to make speeches which were uniting rather than dividing.
Following his quite balanced comment about the Amazon where he stated that We Humans have a responsibility for the "…respect and protection of the entire creation which God has entrusted to man, not so that it be indiscriminately exploited but rather made into a garden", he now believes that Gays Are OK if they are willing to love God and so on. Yeah. A Pope Said That. He also humbly admitted, "Who am I to judge (them)?"
What? He actually expressed an Understanding (of sorts) that All Humans have a right to love whomever they love – and/or that despite being "Gay" if one loves The Lord it shows a desire to be a good person no matter what! What happened? Did someone hit him in the head with one of those Ruby Red Slippers? Or, perhaps he simply gets it about human nature. That tells me he has been watching Animal Planet wherein we've learned that homosexuality exists in other Living Beings beyond Humankind. OR, an angel floated into his dreams one night and whispered sweet something's into his consciousness. Who knows?
What I do know is that he is spreading a message of love, tolerance and a Higher Awareness unlike most Religious Leaders with a High Profile. Unlike his Baptist Brethren who spew Hate and Intolerance, inciting violence and other unsavory feelings, attitudes and acts against those who are LGBT, a bit of Positive Energy is circling his Being, which then spreads out to his followers. Nice move, Pope! I may have Big Issues with your church in general, but I certainly like how you're handling your new job.
No flog today, obviously. At times we need to applaud the Good Deeds And Words of some of the Peoples Of Power.
Shine on, Pope Francis. Hopefully another Angel Of Mercy will tiptoe into your chambers tonight and tell you that Women are just as capable of being Priests as are men. For now, however, carry on….
Have a Wonderful Whatever, everyone, and Thanks for stopping by!
