Daily Prompt: A House Divided

“Pick a divisive issue currently in the news. Write a two-part post in which you take on two personas and approach the topic from both sides. Bonus points for a creative format (roundtable discussion, debate transcript, etc.).” –The Daily Prompt 

I remember hearing about how the Pope stated that he has a more neutral position on gay marriage and does not having anything ‘against’ it. I think that’s great! 

I’m Catholic and while I don’t consider myself very ‘religious’, I do engage in religious activities with my grandparents. For example, I’m going to a saint’s shrine in six days to pray to him with my grandma. 

Knowing that the church somewhat accepts makes me feel a little bit more comfortable going to this shrine but I still feel like something is off. 

I know it eliminates the purpose of this prompt but I’m not going to state an opposing view in this post for personal reasons.
