Catholic Gay Rights Group Gets VIP Treatment At Vatican For First Time, Cites ‘Francis Effect’
“This is a sign of movement that’s due to the Francis effect,” said Sister Jeannine Gramick
“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:5 (KJV)
Pope Francis has caused so much radical change in such a short period of time that his fawning admirers have given it a name, they call it the “Francis Effect”. This effect is bringing sweeping winds of change to the Catholic Church. Francis is opening up the One World Religion tent, and all the end times animals are coming in.
VATICAN CITY – A prominent American Catholic gay rights group was given VIP treatment for the first time at an audience with Pope Francis on Wednesday, a move members saw as a sign of change in the Roman Catholic Church.

“This is a sign of movement that’s due to the Francis effect,” said Sister Jeannine Gramick, co-founder of New Ways Ministry, which ministers to homosexual Catholics and promotes gay rights in the 1.2 billion-member Church.
Gramick and executive director Francis DeBernardo led a pilgrimage of 50 homosexual Catholics to the audience in St. Peter’s Square.
They told Reuters in an interview afterwards that when the group came to Rome on Catholic pilgrimages during the papacies of Francis’s predecessors John Paul and Benedict, “they just ignored us”.
This time, a U.S. bishop and a top Vatican official backed their request and they sat in a front section with dignitaries and special Catholic groups. As the pope passed, they sang “All Are Welcome,” a hymn symbolizing their desire for a more inclusive Church. source- Yahoo News
