You can pretend Francis is liberal but he actively supports anti-gay and anti-women policies. How anyone can support such a backwards, repressive institution and still call themselves a liberal is beyond me.

By the way, you've got a lot of nerve calling Bluenorthwest a bigot for despising an institution with a centuries' long track record of hardcore persecution against many groups of people, including gay people like Bluenorthwest. Of COURSE Bluenorthwest hates a bigoted, anti-gay church like the RCC -- it has actively worked to make the lives of gay people fucking MISERABLE for untold years. And this is not just harmless rhetoric. Do you know how many young gay Catholics have killed themselves out of guilt? Would you criticize an African-American for hating a racist, anti-black group? Would you call that person a bigot?
