Yeah this is why I hate this Pope bandwagon. Is he more progressive than other popes? Yes, but at the end of the day the church is the church and it won't become liberal over night.
Well I mean, he didn't lie. But their employers, be it a private business or the government, should have the right to fire them for not completing their job duties as well
Ppl have a right to religious freedom, like that hick who went to jail for refusing to perform marriages to gay people. Pope Francis saying otherwise would be heresy and would cause huge ructions in the Catholic church. He is generally progressive.
