Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it’s freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

      Might be superficially pro human but anybody who uses such a horrific book for the basis of their religion can’t actually be pro human. They can make their impact less by being decent but they are still a net negative by believing such horrific shit.

      And do you think he has that stance because he wants control, or because he believes it to be wrong? He also has directed bishops to stay out of politics, and removed one of them when they didn’t stop

      I didn’t say he doesn’t have bad takes, but his beliefs and actions are consistent. He’s repeatedly denounced capitalism, raised the alarm on climate change, told the church to accept LGBT people (including directing priests to bless LGBT couples), and generally has told people to not use religion as an excuse for hate

      You can criticize him over the abortion issue, but if you can’t see the difference between him and Pope Benedict I don’t know what to tell you

        I don’t pretend to be a mind reader. His actions and words are all I can really go by. He has consistently been pro-forced birth.

        I can see that they are different humans yes
