The more I grow older the more I find out what shit things the church I was born into has done the more ashamed and angry I become. How thrilling that men who have no lady parts can dictate what should be done with mine.

Personal opinion: I’m done. The roman catholic church can fuck OFF.

@bellacoker: I was trying to think how to say that very thing. The Church now exists only to perpetuate itself. Its methods of choosing leaders is based not on their moral character (if it ever was) but on how loyal they are. And when you get a supreme leader at the top who cannot be challenged and who is seen to embody the organization as a whole, you get what we’re seeing now. Although as a whole, Judaism has been free of this kind of behavior, when it happens, it tends to happen in Orthodox communities. No one wants to question the rabbi, or even look too closely at him, since questioning him means questioning everything they believe. Absolutism and religion are an exceptionally toxic mix.

Uf! This is what happens when an organization which does not allow questioning internally branches out. They have no experience with reasoned discourse, so as soon as someone says anything less than flattering they go straight to persecution and martyrdom.

@NefariousNewt: How is the priest thing hypocrisy? It’s completely consistent with this line of action. On the one hand, they are fighting to keep pregnant women in the dark about important options that are available to them, and on the other they are keeping parishes in the dark about the fact that their new priest is a sex offender who was transferred in from somewhere else to avoid getting caught.
