So, my parents are pretty religious so I have to to fucking Bible study or some shit. Apparently homosexuality is immoral. Immoral my ass. With no authority whatsoever I can say FUCK RELIGON. Catholicism is bullshit.

Basically they were talking about “sexual immorality” started pressing them to provide detail. They rambled about how gay sex is immoral. And topped it off with “we should accept them still” yes Simon you daft bastard, you totally meant that last bullshit. I’m so tired of us being seen as abominations

    And yet the Catholic Church only saw a serious decline in numbers after she became less dogmatic, after Vatican II Council.

      Too little too late? Plus it’s since reneged on that right with Pope Benedict at least? Pope Francis seems alright within reason?

      I am not a Christian nor do I have a Catholic background, but I just want to push back against the idea that Churches shouldn’t reform or try to be progressive, which I’m not even entirely sure you’re trying to do by criticizing the Vatican II council.

        The denominations that are most progressive are shrinking the fastest. It won’t be long until there are essentially zero Anglicans or Episcopalians.
