He's been very good at mood music. He's been completely useless at actual substantive change on those issues. He gets very good press for saying nice things, which is as good as the Catholic Church is going to get.
Meanwhile, he's meeting and blessing Museveni, the leader of Uganda. http://uganda.news24.com/National-News/President-Museveni-me...
And then there's the anti-gay Spanish cardinal he appointed. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-...

> It's yet another small victory for the evil one
For your own good, please, please, please, please try to reconcile your religion with reality. There's a whole load of stuff in the Bible that isn't meant to be taken literally. The current Pope has been very forward-thinking (in Catholic church scales) in 'relaxing' views about contraception, homosexuality, etc.
But even if that weren't so, how can you call yourself an intelligent Human Being and believe that homosexuality is destructive and evil?
Do you believe it is a choice? Do you accept that it isn't a choice, but still think it is a sin? I'm genuinely curious.
> But it's my duty to speak the truth even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient. At the end of my life, at least I'll be able to say that I acted with integrity.
If only Integrity were a Singleton. You may think you're acting nobly according to your instanceof Integrity, but you certainly aren't by mine.
