I think we're really gets me is that they're trying to play both sides right? They're willing to have priests bless gay marriages but that's as far as it'll go. They stand up for human rights... until it comes to abortion, surrogacy, and bodily autonomy.
They're just hell-bent on being on the wrong side of history.
Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be "welcoming" to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.
As a queer person I'm definitely biased, but I've always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don't see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I've known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it's a lost cause as far as I'm concerned.
I suppose eventually their karma will run over their dogma.
