text: "Young people should love, believe and follow their dreams, never despairing because Jesus is always with them, Pope Francis said."
  
  Unless they're young, Catholic, and gay, in which case they should not love in the way that lovers do, not believe in a life of happiness of the sort that straight people take for granted, not dream of a life full of love and happiness, but rather despair that they will be consigned to a life of loneliness and solitude if they wish to remain in good standing with the church. Which is why so many young gay people take their own lives - they are offered no hope for a bright future by the church. Thus it has always been and thus it will apparently continue to be, even under Pope Francis' otherwise sunny and upbeat leadership. Kumbaya.
