Conservatives Upset That Gay Catholics Were Invited To Meet Pope Francis At The White House
The pope has also welcomed gay people to the Vatican and invited a transgender man from Spain to meet with him at his private residence. He has met with advocates for LGBT Catholics and appointed a German bishop to next month’s Vatican synod who has suggested that the church bless gay couples.

Big deal. Who cares what the pope does?

I think the inclusion of so many activist groups is a bit odd, because Roman Catholicism is a religion that is "top down"... it's not a democratically-governed institution. So why a meeting with pressure groups? Whether or not you agree with the causes they represent, it seems inherently counter-productive. Freedom of conscience? Hello? Anyway, people will believe whatever they believe.

So what aren't the conservatives upset about?

Why does the thread title say "CUBA" when the OP is concerned with gays and doesn't mention Cuba at all?

"Conservatives" is a broad term. I'm a conservative and I could not care less. This is a baiting article meant to bash a group of people.

I'm a conservative also and an Episcoplian if that matters. I believe we are all the same in GOD'S eyes.
So what's the big deal?
