Pope Francis has suggested there might be ways to bless same-sex unions. The Vatican on Monday published a letter Francis wrote to five cardinals on July 11 after receiving a list of five questions, or “dubia,” from them a day earlier.

    The Catholic Church has actively ran the longest largest worldwide Pedophile ring in human history. For the past 1800 years the Catholic Church recruited, supported, obfuscated, defended, and excused pedophilia, which continues to this day. The fact the Catholic Church still allowed to operate, in any way shape or form, with youth of any kind, in any country, anywhere, means we’ve all purposefully lost the thread. Beside the Catholic Church being criminal, it’s only shown how very little adults care about the systematic raping of children. Like, at all.

      That’s not the worst thing they did.

      Ask yourself: why did the Holocaust happen exactly? Who is responsible for almost all antisemitism, from past to present?

        That’s a bit of a stretch don’t you think. I don’t like the church either but saying they’re responsible for the Holocaust is quite a leap lmfao

          Not directly, no.

          But would you mind exlaining to me why the Nazi’s social darwinism heavily focused on Jews?What’s the root cause of antisemitism?

          I can answer it: the church’s centuries of antisemitism. There’s a reason antisemitism was this extremely widespread in Europe.

            Antisemitism was prevalent long before the Catholic Church, and was prevalent outside of the church. Unfortunately it’s one of those things that is just shitty behavior, and not exclusively a shitty church thing

    Do gay people really care about being blessed by the Pope? Pedos I can imagine might have some affinity towards the Catholic church, but gays, Nah.

      Because of those pesky human rights that mandate “freedom of religion” or whatever.

          I mean it kinda does with the whole “freedom of expression” thing it has.

          I could be wrong on this, but that’s how I interperted it.

              No clue about the constitution, since I am not american, but it would be logical to think that the religous can rule as long as they don’t break other human rights.
