It’s more like Jesus giving the finger to Satan after he played Satan like a fiddle. ---

Can any Catholic familiar with Jesuit tradition explain the reasoning behind the crucifix used at sacred heart church? Most Catholic churches have simply a crucifix, but this one is different. ---

Compared to American Evangelicals? Like a million times better. Just ask the current Pope’s ruling on the matter (he was a Jesuit). ---

Not compared to anything. What is their actual stance? I’m curious if they are OK with it. ---

Current pope ruled that same sex unions may be blessed. They have no stance against being homosexual except that while it’s against nature, as in not intended for nature, it happens because creation is already corrupted and we accept that it happens. I think this is the official Jesuit finding on this subject, though I am unsure where to find it. But out of all the Catholic orders, Jesuit is probably the most open orders when it comes to homosexuality. ---

That’s good to hear! Do the churches individually follow orders from higher up? Happy for you 🙂 ---

Pope’s ruling must be followed by all Catholic churches, unless they want to break away and no longer be Catholic (and I don’t think this is easy to do at all). ---
