What would Galileo think about the Catholic stance on trans people?

Pope Francis, in his relatively short time serving as the leader of the Catholic Church has talked about inclusion and acceptance of diversity thereby, at least in his words, seems intent on taking the church out of the 17th Century where it has remained stuck for some time and carry it on the wings of a dove to at least the 19th if not the 20th or 21st century regarding the concerns of LGBTQ people.

But alas, the dove has died as has the hope. His policies and teachings on topics of same-sex sexuality have remained unchanged. Even more troubling, the Pope has further tightened church restrictions on trans identities.

...

Thus, the church has concluded that the expressions of homosexuality and forms of gender non-conformity, plus many forms of heterosexual sexual behavior are “gravely and intrinsically immoral” or “gravely and intrinsically disordered” (as clearly stated in the Catholic Catechism).

...

(Like with Galileo) Will it take another 350 years for the Catholic Church to finally admit they got it wrong again?

And in the meantime, how many people will suffer?

1. The Pope sure won't suffer

There are people on this forum who will continue to wash and kiss his feet even though he is the preeminent bigot of our day.

2. Perhaps Trump is advising him
