Are you still Catholic? If so, go fuck yourself.

Somehow it was only this morning that I remembered that the Catholics love the concept of original sin, but reject the idea of guilt by association.

If I'm supposed to burn in hell for all eternity because one imaginary couple ate a piece of fruit thousands of years ago, there's no fucking way that today's church gets to escape punishment for thousands of cases of abuse and rape and murder that happened over the last century.

I’m sorry where were you when American christians were stumbling over themselves to deepthroat Donald Trump for the last 4 years?

The Donald was more under the control of right wing religion than vice versa.

Pope's not well, I hear.

He's been one of the more socially aware ones, so let's hope he's on the mend.

Of the ass.

He’s the PR Pope. He’ll say something that sounds kinda nice, and then have his underlings carefully walk it back while blaming the media for getting it all wrong.

I can't believe the Pope is so morally bankrupt that he'd surgically alter the perfect and correct body that God wanted him to have.

Shower thoughts...

How many Canadians died on 9/11? Google suggests 24.

How many bombs did Canada drop on the Taliban as a result? How many buildings were destroyed, how many mosques were burned to the ground?

The Taliban didn't plan or carry out the 9/11 attacks. They just knowingly sheltered the people that did. But I've never heard anyone say the Taliban didn't have it coming.

Residential school survivors call for an end to arson attacks on churches

'Whoever is doing this, you're going to wake up a very ugly, evil spirit in this country,' survivor warns

Since German seems to have a word for everything, is there a word for "not actually thinking something should happen, but because of the circumstances, not being able to make yourself feel particularly bad when it does"?

Translation: If you're really that upset, go beat your kids and drink yourself into an early grave like your grandparents did. Don't give the white man an excuse to kill us any faster than they already are.

Sadly, Google was unable to turn up a decent image for what I imagine would be the response of the individual who torched the churches, "Bitch, what are you talking about? If my ancestors come back, I ain't the one who's been snuggling up to the white folks who murdered them!"

I think the 21st century has firmly established that religion has lost any claims to morality, what with the global Catholic church scandals, Evangelicals vehemently supporting Trump, televangelists being proven to be grifters, Christians bombing/going on shooting rampages in the name of anti-abortion, ISIS, Mormons taking teen wives and going Waco on them, Scientologists kidnapping Katie Holmes, the NXIVM sex cult brainwashing Cally from BSG and the blonde chick from Smallville who then went on to fucking sex traffic people, and Jehovah's Witnesses waking me up when I'm still in my underwear on Saturday morning.

Well, presumably everyone on Grindr and in gay bars is an adult ...

And presumably every priest is on Grindr...

Got removed from your diocese for spouting QAnon bullshit about the Capitol riot, the election, Breonna Taylor/Trayvon Martin and cancel culture? Never mind, you can get a gig delivering the opening prayer at CPAC!! And sit on one of their panel discussions!

This goes back to what I mentioned in the BBP thread - they need to seriously look at ways to stop the Capitol rioters profiting from it, because any jail time is going to be outweighed by a fucking life on the GOP/QAnon gravy train otherwise.

Vatican's Cardinal Becciu on trial in $412m fraud case

Oopsie!

Winnipeg Catholic priest accuses residential school survivors of lying about abuse for money

Do you want to get cathedrals burned?
'Cause that's how you get cathedrals burned.

No one should believe him when he shows up at an emergency room with most of his scalp missing in a few days, he's obviously faking it for some kind of payout.

On a related note.

No way!

You mean the Catholic Church engaged in fraud?

You know what they say, “You can fuck with the kids, but don’t fuck with the money.”

I bet he'll die of old age before the church's lawyers ever let it get to trial.

Well, well well:

Didn't the Catholic Church promise to raise $25 million to compensate residential school survivors and then didn't? Seems they could have just sold a couple of properties in London and Paris

This organization man, yeeeeesh

Christopher Hitchens loved to point out that piles of money donated to Mother Teresa over the years were never accounted for, and since MT fetishized the suffering of others, those funds were almost certainly never spent improving conditions at any of the hospices or missions she ran.
