Concerns about Pope Francis' Impact on Catholics with Same-Sex Attraction

The speaker, a recent convert to Catholicism, expresses concern that Pope Francis may be causing harm to Catholics with same-sex attraction (SSA) and their supporters.

Another individual questions the idea of blessing any relationship, drawing a comparison to pedophilic relationships as a way to challenge the document's stance.
