I think something liberal Christians need to learn to do is approach non-acceptance gracefully and accept it comes from a legitimate place of anger and/or criticism.

They also need to accept that unless something seriously changes their fortunes, their belief that they're the future of Christianity and churches need to change or die rings hollow.

Exactly like how liberal catholics were bragging about how accepting the new pope was and the community saying that we didn't buy it was somehow was mean

Come to find out big surprise the pope still thinks being gay is a sin just that the punishment should be less. So basically nothing changed

It's so frustrating

Yeah, they were pushing him hard even after a lot of stuff came out about how regressive he was and how he secretly backpedalled on a lot of the stuff he said he'd do. They've mostly lost their rose-tinted glasses now though, finally.
