> Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese criticized Pope Francis after he approved a Vatican document that stated "impossible for God" to "bless sin" in relation to same-sex marriage.

> Pope Francis approved a Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) judgment that stated "the Church does not have, and cannot have, the power to bless unions of persons of the same sex," drawing criticism from McAleese and the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP).

> Former President McAleese said that Pope Francis' “chummy words to the press often quite reasonably raise hopes of church reform which are subsequently almost invariably dashed by firm restatements of unchanged church teaching”.

> She also said that Pope Francis is "the pope who toes the old hard-line".

> In a letter penned to Catholic Primate Archbishop Eamon Martin and seen by The Tablet, McAleese described the Pope as a "populist" and the CDF document as "withering".

> She said the recently-approved CDF document features "unbearably vicious language which can only have brought more heartache to our gay children and to us their families".

> She said that the Catholic Church had fired a "missile" of heartache and hurt.

> McAleese noted that the Catholic Church runs 90% of Irish primary schools and 50% of secondary schools and said that children had the right not to be exposed to "cruelly-worded teachings that conduce to homophobia".

> She called on "even one" Irish bishop to publicly acknowledge that the document's language was cruel.

That skanky lesbo bitch needs to be removed from her position. She should have never been allowed to hold that position to begin with. Religion isn't supposed to change as society changes. FFS, the bible clearly says society is going to degrade to sin and that the purpose of the faith is to reject that change/sin. This bitch wants the church to embrace the change.
