Francis Send Gays a Letter and His Blessing
Pope Francis turned to pen and paper to respond to a letter from a group of gay and lesbian Italian Catholics sent in June, according to the Italian daily La Repubblica (Note: this account in English relies on a Google translation; it may be imperfect). The group had written to Pope Francis in a personal appeal to to be recognized as people and not as a "category." A leader of the impromptu committee said as gay Catholics they had in the past written to other members of the church leadership in Italy and had always before been rewarded with silence.
In their letter, a group of gay and lesbian Catholics organized into the group, Kairos of Florence, asked for openness and dialogue, noting that closure to discussion "always feeds homophobia." The members were shocked to receive a personal response to their appeal from Pope Francis.
One Kairos leader said Pope Francis had also assured the group of his blessing, something they could not before have imagined happening. The members of Kairos have decided to keep the rest of the message of both letters private.

Something smells fishy......or rather like dead fishys........ :-p
May God have mercy on us all.
Yeah, it's all fishy to me. Heaven help me but when I see his picture as above all I can think is this guy is "finishing off" whatever is left of the Church, or at least whatever Catholic is left of the conciliar Church and smiling while he does it. He gives me the willies, I'm sorry if that sounds bad but he really does and has from day one.
