Everything is made up and the rules don’t matter, my friend

That may be true. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s markedly less likely that some gay kids are going to be bullied. Or that some homosexual couples are going to be denied a marriage certificate.

You seem to be missing the forest for the trees.

Anyway, this discussion is pointless. I’m out

Ok, so a heavily bigoted organization with their fingers in governments across the globe is better to you? The Vatican isn’t going away buddy.

What you’re saying is essentially that you’d rather a completely evil and corrupt organization influencing global politics than a reasonable but still immoral and slightly more popular organization doing the same.

Either way, this argument doesn’t matter. I don’t care for catholics either. It’s a whole other thing to actively sneer at the group for adopting more tolerant policies.

Have fun with that.

Oh, you sweet summer child

Fact is, Christianity is getting less bigoted. Does it matter if it’s a calculated move by the Vatican or one man using his authority to call out immorality?

Insult me all you like. The end result is the same

It’s better for a good man to take up a morally bereft throne than for him to yield the position on principle to an equally morally bereft man.

Pope Francis may not be perfect, but the facts are that he’s still making progress considered unheard of by Vatican standards and he still leads one of the world’s biggest religious sects that very sorely needs the progress.

After several years of having 4+ cats, I can confidently say that cats care about the location of a piece of furniture more than the furniture itself.

If you’re worried about your cat using a cat tree, for example, maybe try putting it next to a window or in a vantage point for their favorite room.

Every time I’ve moved my cat tree a different combination of cats would sleep on it. Right now it’s behind a door and the only one who likes it is my 8 year old torti, who hasn’t spent a day in her life on it until now. We put it there temporarily to clean the space it was previously in but we left it because she suddenly started using it.
