text: These are not culture war issues, and for the Pope to dismiss these as "issues" is beyond bizaar. These "issues" are serious, grave sins and hurt the souls of those who commit them as much as poison hurts the body. What is happening here is that less and less people believe(or know) that these things are poison for the soul (and body for that matter) and therefore rabidly attack those who are simply trying to remind them of what the Church, which should be the hospital for sick and wounded souls, always taught.
