    The Vatican, more compassionate and tolerant than America. Who’d have thought it’d ever happen.

    It’s nice that some random old dude gave permission to a bunch of other old dudes to sprinkle some water on transgender individuals and call it something significant. How saintly.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The department, known as the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith, was vague however, in response to a question of whether a same-sex couple could have a Church baptism for an adopted child or one obtained through a surrogate mother.

    Bishop Jose Negri of Santo Amaro in Brazil sent the doctrinal office six questions in July regarding LGBT people and their participation in the sacraments of baptism and matrimony.

    The three pages of questions and answers were signed by the department’s head, Argentine Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, and approved by Pope Francis on Oct. 31.

    In response to a question of whether transgender people can be baptized, the doctrinal office said they could with some conditions and as long as there is “no risk of causing a public scandal or disorientation among the faithful”.

    The document said a person in a same-sex relationship could also be a witness at a Catholic wedding, the office said, citing current Church canonical legislation which contained no prohibition against it.

    The response was less clear regarding persons in same-sex relationships and their role in baptism, which is the initiation into the Church for infants, children or adults.


    The original article contains 501 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Hey, just a heads up before anybody engages this guy. He’s a pretty prolific troll and he’s picking fights just to pick them. Take a look at his profile

            I can’t help myself but laugh at your obsession even if it’s caused by a mental illness and you need serious professional mental help which I hope you will manage to get.

              You’re just mad that someone is calling you what you are? Once again, every single time you choose to respond to me you’re part of it too. It’s not my fault your ego is preventing you from leaving me alone.

            Yeah, everyone knows that everyone who can see how pathetic catholics are is a federal agent.

                  Hey man, 150 posts in 10 hours. That’s consistently a post every 4 minutes for 10 solid hours! That’s pretty cool. You must really have nothing else going on except picking random fights on the internet. Way to devote
