That is most definitely not true. Local parishes are telling people who have divorced and re-married that they are not welcome. Homosexuals who are sexually active have been told that they are not welcome.
The Catholic Church is not welcoming to all.
Some individual churches and parishes and dioceses are making different decisions. It will be interesting to see how the Vatican responds. They do seem to be tightening things up. <which is why the colleagues I've mentioned elsewhere have recently decided to no longer go to church, and will no longer be financially supporting the local diocese>
