Pope Francis condemned the “very strong, organised, reactionary attitude” in the US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
If your Mom is being scammed by a Nigerian prince via email, you would shout to the rooftops to tell her and try to protect her.
Brain washed religious people should be warned just as vigorously.
My mom isn’t going to be scammed by the Nigerian prince if she already knows it is a scam
Brain washed religous people ≠ religion. That’s my distinction. Just because people murder each other in Harry Potter doesn’t mean kids are going to interpret that to go on and be murderers.
The people who should be ridiculed for the actions are the murderers, not the entire fanbase.
Educating the religious should be a priority. Pull them out of the cults and save them from giving their $ or time to a huge scam.
There is no defending any religion.
Adios, muchacho.
