Exactly! The church has a lot of nerve talking about child abuse, especially since they are making shit up about others, and ignoring their own well-documented, disgusting history.

It's a mistake to think the Catholic Church is in danger of bankruptcy. They have plenty of properties they can sell off. It's actually a bit obscene, I'd say profane but I wouldn't want to confuse that word with its ecclesiastical use. The Church has more money than God. (very intentional joke)

While their buildings APPEAR to be made from the finest stone, they’re REALLY throwing those stones from glass houses…

The church has repeatedly, throughout history, stomped on, stabbed, burned and raped human dignity. They have no agency here.

The Vatican saying that every person is made in God’s image and then pretending there are only two genders is so ridiculous and contradictory, they really want to keep tanking enrollment huh

Toujours assez rigolo de voir les culs-benis pédophiles parler de "dignité humaine" ... Même pas un échantillon sur eux ..

Religion is the number one threat to human society. It's inherently divisive with each religion claiming a divine knowledge superior to any other. The starting point of every religion is that they know more than you and are superior to you because of this knowledge. It's insulting and baseless.

I would like to apologize to JB for being so mad about their writing style when I was a WS minor back in the early 90s. I had a valid point about liberation and language accessibility, but the real failure was the prof stanned JB and wouldn't tolerate critique OR help us access their ideas.

99 words on child abuse, just 2% of its total word count on topics of concern, from abortion, 'gender theory', war, etc. Only 2 of the 5 sentences in this paragraph focus on the church itself.

Hey I'm reading that one! It's such a good book and goes to show how much of the rhetoric used today can be traced back to the Vatican.

Blaming the LGBTQIA+ is a sure win for them. It pleases their followers They also know that we are a threat to their dogma and the patriarchy they rely so much on.

These child abusers, these pedofiles at the Vatican can fuck all the way off. The grave threat is and always has been organized religion. They teach hate, they enable racism and bigotry, and they prey on the weak and vulnerable.
