English: 
There's this Catholic priest, Father Greg Reynolds. He's from Melbourne, Australia
and he recently got excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
And you would think, "Oh man, he's basically kicked out of the Church. He can't take the sacraments anymore"
"He must've done something really awful."
Like what did he do, did he molest somebody? Is he a pedophile or something? Because that's usually -
Those people get hit with those types of punishments from the Church.
But no, he didn't do any of that. What he did is he said,
"I think it's okay for women to become ordained in the Catholic Church. And gay marriage? I'm fine with that."
"Like I would ordain, you know, a gay marriage." And the Vatican basically said, you can't do that
You're going against everything we stand for and you're out of here. You're excommunicated
You can't take communion anymore, which is a big deal to them
And here's the thing that really gets to me: we've been seeing so many headlines,
I even made a video about Pope Francis, and how he's really out of the mold for a lot of Catholics

Spanish: 
Un sacerdote católico, el padre Greg Reynolds,
de Melbourne, Australia,
recientemente fue excomulgado
de la Iglesia Católica.
Y pensarás:
"Hombre, lo expulsaron de la Iglesia, ya no puede
impartir los sacramentos. Debe haber hecho algo horrible".
¿Qué hizo? ¿Abusó de alguien?
¿Es pedófilo o algo así? Porque suele pasar
que esta gente reciba este tipo
de castigo por parte de la Iglesia.
Pero no, no hizo nada de eso.
Lo que hizo fue decir:
"Me parece bien que las mujeres
sean ordenadas en la Iglesia Católica".
¿Y el matrimonio gay?
"Me parece bien... el matrimonio gay."
Y el Vaticano básicamente dijo:
"No puedes hacer eso."
"Vas en contra de todo
lo que representamos, y estás fuera."
"Estás excomulgado. Ya no puedes dar la comunión",
lo que es una gran cosa para ellos.
Y esto es lo que
realmente me llega:
Hemos visto tantos titulares.
Incluso hice un video sobre el papa Francisco,
y cómo en verdad
se sale del molde para
muchos católicos, porque está

English: 
because he's openly saying we shouldn't be focusing on these divisive issues like gay marriage and abortion and everything
But, even though he could've said, "You know, I'm okay with this Father, and he should not be excommunicated,"
he didn't do that. He actually heard the whole presentation and he was fine with it.
He agrees that this excommunication ought to take place.
And that's the thing, for all the things this pope is saying, let's not forget he is still bound by his Catholicism
And he has to follow the Catholic rules. He may be changing the tone and the rhetoric,
but the substance is not changing. He is still, you know, vehemently against gay marriage.
He still says women can't be ordained in the Catholic Church. That's what the rules are.
And the pope has no desire to change that, and when this Father Reynolds came around and said,
"I disagree with all that," what did Pope Francis and the Vatican do? They said, "All right, goodbye, you're out of here."
I mean, that's the Catholic Church for you. And even under the new leadership,

Spanish: 
diciendo abiertamente que no deberíamos
enfocarnos en estas cuestiones divisivas como
el matrimonio gay,
el aborto, y todo.
Aunque pudo haber dicho:
"Me parece bien
lo de este padre.
No debe ser excomulgado",
él no hizo eso.
Escuchó toda la presentación
y le pareció bien. Estuvo de acuerdo
en proceder con la excomunión.
Y esa es la cosa.
A pesar de todas las cosas que este papa
está diciendo, no olvidemos
que sigue atado
a su catolicismo.
Y tiene que seguir
las reglas católicas.
Puede que esté cambiando
el tono y la retórica,
pero la esencia no está cambiando.
Él sigue estando
vehementemente en contra del matrimonio gay.
Sigue diciendo que las mujeres no pueden ser ordenadas en la Iglesia Católica.
Esas son las reglas y el Papa
no tiene ganas de cambiarlas.
Y cuando al padre Reynolds
pensó diferente y dijo:
"No estoy de acuerdo".
¿qué hicieron el Papa Francisco y el Vaticano?
Dijeron: "Muy bien, adiós, estás fuera".
Esa es la Iglesia Católica,
Incluso bajo la nueva dirección,
incluso bajo el Papa Francisco,

English: 
even under Pope Francis, that has not changed yet.
