Rev. James Martin (He’s a Good Guy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A petition with more than 7,000<\/a> signatures urges support for the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas on its decision to deny enrollment to the child of a gay couple<\/a> at a Prairie Village Catholic school.

Rev. James Martin, a secretariat of communications for the pope, has written about how the church can be more welcoming to LGBTQ people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Twitter, he called the archdiocese’s decision “unjust discrimination.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In this case, these rules are being applied selectively and used to target LGBT people specifically, as well as punishing the child,” Martin said in a tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secretariat is responsible for Vatican Radio and the Vatican Television Center as well as the Holy See’s website and the pope’s Twitter handle, @Pontifex.

Almost 2,000 people signed a petition asking the church to reconsider a decision they felt “lacks the compassion and mercy of Christ’s message.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
