A reporter asks Pope Francis how he can say that "all" are welcome in the Catholic church when LGBTQ people and women are, as anyone with eyes to see can see, treated as second-class citizens.
Francis's reply: well, all are welcome, but certain rules apply to LGBTQ people and women within the church that don't apply to others.
Notably to men. Especially to straight men, who have extraordinary privilege in the church.
