Neh, he saw religions ratings and realized they are hemorrhaging users. So they are rebranding their entire religion to now allow transgender people. “God” was fine with that. It wasn’t one of the serious rules, unlike eating pork or shellfish.
Now how about the pope acknowledges and reveals how many priests they’ve protected from molestation charges?
The catholic church still considers being trans a sin (and hence inferior to being cis).
I wish people would stop whitewashing that organisation, even if this is a tiny amount of progress (no shade on the op, just a general comment on the way conversations around organised religion and the catholic church in general seem to be happening >.<)
