VATICAN CITY \u2014 An unprecedented global canvassing of Catholics has called for the church to take concrete steps to promote women to decision-making roles, for a "radical inclusion" of the LGBTQ+ community . . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The document also asked what concrete steps the church can take to better welcome LGBTQ+ people and others who have felt marginalized and unrecognized by the church so that they don't feel judged: the poor, migrants, the elderly and disabled, as well as those who by tribal or caste feel excluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Perhaps most significantly, the document used the terminology "LGBTQ+ persons" rather than the Vatican's traditional "persons with homosexual tendencies," suggesting a level of acceptance that Francis ushered in a decade ago with his famous "Who am I to judge" comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Satanists must feel<\/em> terribly marginalized<\/em> by the RCC even at this late date. They need to be recognized<\/em> so that they don't feel judged<\/em>.  'Catholic' means universal; so shouldn't everyone be included?  Diversity, equity, inclusion<\/em>!  In fact, Satanists are more worthy of inclusion than New Atheists (Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, Harris, et al.) because the former, unlike the latter, believe in the super-natural, the meta-physical.  In any case, the New Atheism is so pass\u00e9<\/span>! Hell, nobody knows what it is is anymore. Satanism is the current thing and must be honored as such. Diversity<\/em> demands the inclusion<\/em> of Satanists! And (superlunary) equity<\/em>, equality of soteriological outcome, for all, regardless of merit or demerit!<\/span><\/p>\n

Moral judgment must be avoided at all costs since, as we all know now, there is no difference between making moral judgments and being judgmental, and no bien-pensant<\/em> wokester wants to be perceived as judgmental<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

"LGBTQ+ persons" absolutely must replace the Vatican's traditional "persons with homosexual tendencies," because of the latter's implied distinction of tendency\/disposition and exercise.  It was traditionally held that there is no sin in having the innate homosexual tendency or disposition; the sin consists in exercising or acting upon it. But this distinction is quite obviously homophobic <\/em>and hateful <\/em>because it marginalizes <\/em>those who act upon their inherent homosexual desires. Besides, it's a bogus distinction; it sounds like some dusty punctilio from some superannuated scholastic manual of the sort the beatific Bergoglio rightly excoriated.   Both disposition and exercise are to be, not tolerated, but celebrated.  By her own astute admission, Karine Jean-Pierre, as the first black, female, lesbian WH press secretary, is a historic figure<\/a>.  No doubt about it, and qualifications for the job have nothing to do with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
