It is sad - but of no surprise - that Pope Francis continues to remain ignorant of what scientific research has taught us for more than 50 years now.  It is not by any means a matter of "tendencies."  It is by all means a matter of sexual orientation variations that have all the same markings as being heterosexual.  Until the Catholic Church can bring itself to pulling free of, at best, 19th century thinking, and into, at least, the latter half of the 20th century knowledge, they will continue to spout culturally-defined attitudes and beliefs that push more and more Catholics away.  Why stay were one continues to be branded as disordered, no matter the language used?  What I counsel those LGBTQ Catholics who wish to remain with the Church but feel disgusted by the very words Pope Francis has repeated in this discussion with reporters, is to stay with the sacraments, with the Eucharist, the Mass, and leave the rest for those who persist in a distortion of Christ's message.
