Nine Catholic Bishops Express Support to LGBTQ Kids

This shouldn’t be congratulated as some sweeping change in 2021 here of all places

It's the Catholic Church hierarchy. Baby steps.

Following public opinion now is like starting to crawl at 96. I’m not sure it means much to the masses, including Catholics, out there. Plus, the decentralized nature of the Church means that it means even less in socially conservative areas with high practicing Catholic populations.

Statements like these by members of the hierarchy do give license to those in the Church who want to stand up to the Rad Trad types, who have been sucking up all the oxygen in the Catholic ecosystem for years. Will the Rad Trads continue their tilting at the windmills? Of course. But it does give a green light to the silent majority in the pews.
