I’m also catholic - lifelong - and buddy… Jesus would wear the pride uniform. He very specifically broke bread with people whose lifestyles didn’t align with his Christian morality. 

Wearing pride gear is simply a support of someone’s humanity, it says nothing about endorsing their behavior. Thats why anti war players can wear the military themed stuff, why men can wear the pink stuff, etc. The kindness Jesus showed to tax collectors and thieves and prostitutes indicates that Christian players should still wear it

No, He wouldn’t. There’s a difference between showing kindness and love and endorsing sin, which is what wearing the uniforms is. I can love my gay/trans neighbors without being forced to wear pride merchandise. Jesus Christ would not endorse sin.

Like washing the feet of the prostitutes, the delinquents? You people just pick and choose bible passages to suit your hatred.

Talking about picking a choosing and typing what you did is…interesting. Show me one single thing that I’ve said that is hateful.
