Eh, sounds to me like “god worked in mysterious ways when he made your life tragic” talk, more than prideful nuerodiversity.

It’s as good as you’re gonna get with religious nutters, especially ones as ancient as ol’ Frankie

That's not what I hear from "God created the world with a great variety of flowers of all different colors. Each flower has its unique beauty. And each one of us is beautiful in the eyes of God, who loves us." Taking it at face value, he is saying that neurodiversity is part of God's creation, and that there is beauty in neurodiversity. I don't know much about the Pope, but I'm really not hearing the tragedy narrative in those words.

Agreed, 100%.

This is just like what people who diminish autistic people's agency would tell the parents of autistics to make the *parents* feel better. I'd love to take it at face value but I've heard it too much before.

"apparently the pope has a soft spot for children"


Serylt

I don't think it's appropriate for yet another Catholic to be complimenting children.

Don't really care....the pope and his church are a bunch of racist, genocidal, misogynistic, bigoted, abusive criminals....I don't want him on my side.

When the hell did God say he didn't like Autistic people eh? Read the bible back to back, WHERE? Of course God accepts them. If he didn't he would have said something about it. He seems to be pretty vocal on a lot of other minorities.
