“Pope Francis has closed an assembly of Catholic bishops that revealed deep divisions on how to respond to homosexuality and divorce, saying on Sunday the Church should not be afraid of change and new challenges.
Francis, who has said he wants a more merciful and less rigid Church, made his comments in a sermon to some 70,000 people in St. Peter’s Square for the ceremonial closing of a two-week assembly, known as a synod.

Let’s be serious for a second. TYT criticizes people for bashing Islam (for whatever reason), and then they have a title like “Gay-Hating Bishops”. Yes, they probably do hate gays. Does their decision against the Pope mean that? No. TYT is bombarding my feed with “Why you should love Islam” posts all the time, or at the very least, “Why you shouldn’t hate Islam”, and yet they treat forms of Christianity with the same distaste which I treat Islam. Double standard, imo.
First of all, being criticritical and hating are not the same. Cenk is even more critical of Islam. Cenk is giving an informed opinion. Your hatred for islam is based on your ignorance of it, and believing all the information given to you by hateful bigots.
