And who wants to predict the flood of catholics saying the pope isn't catholic because of this statement?

They already did that when he told people to be nice to trans people. He didn't tell them to embrace them into their lives, just treat them nice and they lost their shit about it.

If Jesus had access to pantaloons or blue jeans he would have rocked them.
