Well, that’s big of him, especially since the church he leads said just the opposite for over a millennium. I guess it wasn’t a good look for the church in a more educated and skeptical world. Just like they changed their minds about unbaptised babies not going to heaven when they realized how indefensible it was to a lot of peoples way of thinking. I can’t even imagine the torment this caused through the ages, then oopsy, we got it wrong, sorrrrrrrrry. But, of course, everything else we say is absolutely correct , just ignore the stuff we got wrong. I wonder how long it well take them to decide that using a condom isn’t worse than getting or spreading AIDs?
