I like Francis for one reason: He is destroying the Catholic Church.Tom Mazanec wrote: Tue Feb 07, 2023 8:46 am Hshsg, the Church is like the 2000 year old man...it has seen everything. Out of 266 popes Francis is far from the very worst, even for Traditionalists (if they know their history). About the only thing a Pope can't do is ex cathedra promote heresy. I am not Right or Left but I am considerably more Conservative than Francis. But I ain't leaving the Church over that.

Still standing tall.
Anyone aware of Catholic history would be aware that they haven't always been a bunch of saints. I may not agree with the common style of Catholic bashing - I bash a bit different, and sympathize a bit more with the Pope moving with his base - but I'm sure aware of where the bashers are coming from.Tom Mazanec wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 6:28 am It is obvious that the people on this thread are characterized by a combination of anti-Catholic bigotry and a desire to be able to rut like animals without being responsible for the babies they are creating.
Maybe it is OK to hate child abusers and their protectors. Maybe it is OK to hate those that believe their religious doctrines should be forced on others who don’t share them. Maybe it is OK to hate those who believe one should “kill them all, let God sort them out.” Maybe there are other reasons to hate holders of various beliefs catholics have held over the centuries.Tom Mazanec wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 6:28 am It is obvious that the people on this thread are characterized by a combination of anti-Catholic bigotry and a desire to be able to rut like animals without being responsible for the babies they are creating.
Seems like a lot of the anger directed at the RC church on this board is by Catholics (or ex-Catholics).Bob Butler wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 4:11 pmMaybe it is OK to hate child abusers and their protectors.

At any rate, do there exist catholics who don’t fall into any such category? Lots? If you find such a catholic who has no such distasteful or questionable belief, would it be bigotry to hate him anyway? If he does fall into such a troublesome category, is it not a valid dislike?
If a central theme of Generational Dynamics is to hate those that are different, are catholics different? If one should avoid hating those different within your own culture, is such hate permissible if there is a good reason that applies to the person hated?
Not all Democrats, but Senator Ed Markey (D MA) wore such a pin. The pin was apparently provided by Planned Parenthood. Markey advocated abortion "as essential healthcare and we need to codify this right."John wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 9:12 pmTucker Carlson just reported that the Democrats at the state of the Union address last night were not worrying American flag pins. instead, they were worrying pins that say the word "abortion" , with a heart replacing the o' s.
