Pope Francis defended sodomites for a reason.
This headline is fake news. I went ahead and checked the linked Independent article. The Irish legalized abortion and now have migrants from this Faustian deal. The Church bought some condo space in a building adjacent to the Vatican City, which unfortunately also houses that repugnant establishment- in 2008, which was a smart move after the 2007 real estate debacle. Berlusconi gave the Vatican a property tax exemption since the building spans, or is on the city state line, as I understand it. Hopefully, in time, all of it will be acquired, the lewd usage space exorcised, and turned into some rental office venue, or a museum of the Holy Inquisition. The Italian state should also return the historic papal residency which is their presidential palace now.
The Holy Catholic Church, by the virtue of its vastness and visibility, will always have some actual gay believers, you don't want to chase them around with a baseball bat, they deserve charity, and the Church has always encouraged therapy and spiritual healing, and then there is the lobby supported by the Democrat deep state, and more broadly by the Communist International, completely inorganic (this is also visible in Protestant congregations, where in general only those propped up by the government display gay flags, pastors like Tony Evans or Chuck Swindoll, and their living faith assemblies would never stand for that), Pope John Paul II had to fend off their attacks, and those of the wannabe "female priest" contingent, all of it coming right out of the US. Going to an all out war with them would not benefit the Church. When the king advancing against you has this much strength, you have to engage him diplomatically as Jesus said. Getting bogged down in a nasty fight is wasteful and counterproductive. Homosexuality has no legs, it's unnatural and contrary to human nature, it will die down naturally with time, we may pass away in the meantime, but that time will come. The Church is like a good parent, and tolerates those excesses within certain limits, knowing that the petulant child clutching her leg won't cause her to fall. Doomsayers will sooner die along with their prophecies, I remember pope Francis was supposed to bring about the ultimate end, yet neither me nor other people I go to church with have changed. In communist Poland, Cardinal Wyszynski similarly decided not to confront or totally and publicly condemn the government, as they would then have the excuse they had wanted, to at last attack with full force. He opted for 'dialogue'.
new pope, the first non-European [Ha ha], has broken all sorts of barriers in regard to LGBTQ issues, yet in some areas, he has remained as traditional as his predecessors had been

BTW, why are people such snowflakes? I laughed at Trump's joke- Habemus Papam! Trump is a red blooded man and has genuine respect for the Catholic Church, unlike those cold blooded EU lizards who feign staid and solemn reverence publicly, but probably tell distasteful jokes in private.
