When Two Gay Catholic Tribes Go To (Cold) War

. . .the first tribe is the Progressives — some sexually active, others not — who believe homosexuality should be normalized by the Catholic Church, and are pushing openly for the Church to change its teachings to reflect that. . .

. . .the second tribe are Conservatives who live a double life.  Outwardly they advocate for traditional Catholic teaching on homosexuality, but they also live homosocially (in the sense of socializing with other gay conservative priests), and some have gay sex.  They, therefore, live in a state of cognitive dissonance. . .

Seven Quick Takeaways on the Creation of 14 New Cardinals

. . .arguably, no single thing any pope ever does is more consequential than choosing the cardinals who will elect his successor.  When a pontiff reveals his picks for new members of the Church’s most exclusive club, therefore, it always delivers a powerful statement not only about where the Church is today, but where it may be going in the future. . .
