And, of course, the ABC is a very willing partner in any such endeavour. You quote this passage from the ABC article:She is considered a more modern Catholic figure and has previously addressed advocacy groups fighting for the inclusion of LGBTQI+ people in the church, as the institution grapples with declining participation in Australia.
"more modern Catholic figure" That is supposed to indicate that she is better than "less modern" Catholic figures, but doesn't.
And this sneaky wording: "inclusion", when no one is actually excluded from the church. I have lived in many Catholic parishes, and have not once encountered any attempt to exclude anyone from the Church except when someone deliberately makes a statement or gesture that demonstrates defiance of Catholic doctrine. So "inclusion" really means acceptance of beliefs that are contrary to Catholic traditional doctrine. And "declining participation" is an extremely poor reason for abandoning the truth.
