Transgender people can be baptized in the Catholic Church and serve as godparents, per an official Vatican document published Wednesday.

Why it matters: The decision builds on Pope Francis’ support for LGBTQ+ people, who have faced marginalization from the church — though the pope has previously approved a Vatican doctrine that Catholic priests cannot bless same-sex unions because God “does not and cannot bless sin.”

    Okay this is the second time I’ve seen a quote like this in the past couple days. Yet the only time I’ve ever seen this quote was on QI. Rich Hall asking Stephen Fry if he could be milked.

    Is… Is this the reference? Or am I totally lost

        Huh… I’ve never actually seen that movie. That makes a whole lot of sense. Also makes sense why Rich would have said it on QI. Was within a year or two of that movies release so the quote probably stuck.

        Well. Today I learned.

        Also yes you can fuckin top this. I’m a random dumbass who’s specced his points all over the place but nothing consistently in one area. I’m like the first or second gym leader. You’re the protag. You got this. Go kick todays ass.
