People real upset about LGBTQ+ Catholics.

The group petitioning the Pope is not only not hurting people (either through dogma or otherwise), but are actively trying to make the world better by easing what are already rancorous divisions.

Let people have their harmless comforts while they can.

If you're trying to reconcile LGBTQ+ interests with Catholicism, maybe it's time you just took the damn hint. Abandon archaic religions and free your conscience.

Jews for Hitler ask Hitler to rethink concentration camp idea.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours ago

They did. And they're called Zionists. The idea? Gaza: a more fenced off open air concentration camp approach, where you can ban world media coverage and commit genocide without anyone really knowing the full extent of the horror.

LGBTQ+ Catholics

Isn't that like an oxymoron or something

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

It's moronic, at any rate..

I know that part of growing up Catholic is excessive guilt, but being LGBTQ+ without realizing that the whole religion is toxic and specifically harmful to people like you is some Log Cabin Republican level of denial!

The "oxy" is where you went wrong.

LGBTQ+ Catholics? How the fuck does that make sense?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

Until John Paul the Second, Catholics didn’t care. Most of the priests were gay. In a different era where coming out was not a legitimate option for most, being a priest was a pretty good way to have a fulfilling life.

There was a shortage of priests. People looked the other way about what happened after hours.

It doesn't.

The meeting transpired about six months after the Vatican released “Dignitas Inifinita” (Infinite Dignity), in which it referred to gender-affirming care as threat to human dignity akin to poverty, abuse, and war.

Sorry, the Pope is infallible. If you align your gender, you're basically Stalin.

the Pope is infallible

Technically, the pope needs to explicitly invoke infallibility before making a statement if he wants it to be infallible. The last time this was done was 1950 to state Mary, mother of Jesus, had both her body and soul transported to heaven. Other statements are just the pope's opinion and followers of the faith are allowed to disagree without being heretical.

Thanks for this info, this is very interesting! I'm not religious but I find this kind of thing fascinating.
