At what would it be reasonable to have a conversation with one's child about sexual orientation?
You do realize that those words strung together in that order are not a denial of anything.
I've never liked Pope Francis. But I've always believed him to be a sincere man.
Now I'm starting to believe he is a duplicitous scum of a human being.
I really hope more information comes out on the books that were sent to Pope Francis. I'll bet you one of the books in that collection deals with the children's sexual orientation.

The Guardian Says, "Pope Francis sends letter praising gay children’s book" - Vatican Issues "Denial"
At what would it be reasonable to have a conversation with one's child about sexual orientation?
Italian book that explores different family types including same sex was banned by mayor of Venice, but pontiff becomes unlikely supporter
The book, however, was met with disapproval by Venice’s new mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, who in June banned Piccolo Uovo and about 50 other titles from schools.
The decision led more than 250 Italian authors to demand their own books be removed from the city’s shelves, a move one writer described as a “protest against an appalling gesture of censorship and ignorance”.
Now Pardi has found an unlikely supporter in Pope Francis, who through his staff has written to the author praising her work.
“His holiness is grateful for the thoughtful gesture and for the feelings which it evoked, hoping for an always more fruitful activity in the service of young generations and the spread of genuine human and Christian values,” wrote Peter B Wells, a senior official at the Vatican secretariat of state.
The letter, dated 9 July and recently seen by the Guardian, was a response to a parcel of children’s books sent by Pardi to the pontiff in June.
The collection from her publisher, Lo Stampatello, including seven or eight books which deal with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues (LGBT), was accompanied by a heartfelt letter from the author describing the attacks she has come under in recent months.Vatican denies encouraging gender theory with author letter
Missive to Francesca Pardi ‘was supposed to remain private’
(ANSA) – Vatican City, August 28 – The Vatican on Friday denied encouraging gender theory via a letter from Pope Francis to an author who writes about gay marriage.
“In no way does the letter from the Secretariate of State mean to endorse behaviour and teachings not in line with the Gospel,” the Vatican press office said.
It said the letter to Francesca Pardi, in response to a letter from her to the pope after Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro banned ‘gay’ books from the city’s schools, was meant to remain private, something which “unfortunately did not happen”.“In no way does the letter from the Secretariate of State mean to endorse behaviour and teachings not in line with the Gospel ...”
