Image transcription: A screenshot of a Tweet by @Terror_Alarm, with images of Pope Francis and the transgender flag attached. The Tweet reads: “🇻🇦🏳️‍⚧️ His Holiness Pope Francis to finally allow #transgender Catholics to be baptized, the Vatican announced. It is a major step for trans inclusion, very big and good news for millions of Christians.” Quote-tweeting this, @cungadero responds “he finally played his copy of undertale”. End transcription.

    Pro tip: You don’t need the allowance of a stupid old man to do be baptized. It also doesn’t mean anything, so you can just not do it and care even less about the opinion of the stupid old man.

      I don’t think that’s exactly the point here, I think the point is that one of the most influential people alive (though not to everyone as you can see) just said trans rights.

        … as long as it doesn’t upset the congregation or confuse people.

        “if there are no situations in which there is a risk of generating a public scandal or confusion among the faithful”
