and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Isn't god supposed to be unchanging according to their book?

What? Definitely not.
At least catholic christianity emphasizes how Jesus brought change to the jewish traditions on how to live "close to god". Change is a thing in the catholic church, which is exactly why people have tried to make a lot of things they liked into unchanging doctrines over the centuries.

Religion in general is pretty backwards as well.
Has he met the Catholic Church?
Inquisitions? Witch burning? Who does he think did extremism biggest and best?
Sure, now they mostly just coverup for paedophiles and rampant baby murder at orphanages, but they were the OG extremists, let’s not kid ourselves.
The pope: "maintaining rigid and unchanging ideology is bad and room for change and growth must be allowed"
You: "um excuse me but hundreds of years ago the church killed people"
The church sucks ass but this is the absolute worst take regarding this specific post.

Those are the same people who called Jesus weak so I think it's a bit late for the pope to weigh in
Note that he said this in a private conversation, not an official statement.
He will backtrack on this in less than a week, he always does this little dance.

Didn’t this guy pay a personal visit to the christofascist who refused to grant a gay marriage license September 2015? Guy wore a similar hat anyway.
Wake me up when Catholics aren't forced-birth advocates that will vote in any fascist that aligns with their single issue.
Change over time? What, we getting new words from God? Gonna add a newer testament?
