And in the case of this issue, even Pope Francis has moved from a position of significant opposition to LGBT rights when he was a Cardinal to his famous "who am I to judge?" comment a couple years ago. He hasn't changed church doctrine on the matter yet, but if the leader of the Christian church can suffer a period of reflection, one has to ask why so many Christians are not able to do the same.
I wouldn't fall for this. I personally think Pope Francis is running a shell game here. He knows the winds of change are blowing, so he's altering the "message" to make it more appealing to that mindset, without actually altering the core beliefs. He's a very dangerous individual and should not be taken at his word in any way shape or form. In the immortal words of the great Admiral Akbar: "It's a Trap!"
