Pope Francis last week approved a ruling at the Vatican that permitted priests to administer blessings to same-sex couples.

    I’ve seen this idea a few times now that somehow being inclusive will ‘spread division’ which makes absolutely no sense at all. Including people and groups repairs division.

    This was one of the things the majority of Australians parroted when they voted ‘no’ to recognising Aboriginals in our constitution. Somehow a respectful act of inclusion would divide us? So long as you don’t think for even a second about it it’s easy to believe and get outraged I guess. We all gotta exclude people so that we can unify.

      Before EVERYONE had to hate the same specific people, and then this guy says that you don’t have to hate them, so now you got some people not hating, while others just don’t want to quit hating.

      If we can’t agree on who’s better than who, how will we know how much better we are than everyone else?
