Rule of thumb in a world where Trump is the president: anything you say satirically has a big chance of actually coming to pass.

I think you’re confusing tolerance with acceptance. Considering how messed up Christianity is with sex in general, I’d say tolerance is the best you’re going to get from some people.

You showed them. Trading their fairy tale for your own.

You what kind of position gravely hinders a member of the clergy from relating correctly to men and women? Holding the position that only a man can do his job.

Please keep in mind, while the prior pope was forced to join the Hitler Youth and Luftwaffenhelfer, he fled/deserted and denounced Nazism.

The real “cool pope” would be like “this religion is bullshit and you’re all dumb fucks” as soon as he gets his hat thingy.

You forgot to mention Christian. Remember the Bible series he and his wife Roma Downey produced starring Satan Obama? Yay Christian values!

They really fucked it up when they gave it to Giuliani in 2001, though. It was so obviously bin Laden, but they didn’t want the backlash.

Paula Dean said, “it’s the sexiest thing I have ever seen, and by a big margarine.”

If the dad had just planted a taser on the kid’s body, he could have had a good enough self-defense claim to hang a jury.

Just like that Albert Fish fellow.

To be fair, the judge only made those comments because of his economic anxiety.

Lol. Grew up Catholic. Church doctrine is it literally is the body and blood of Christ.

Actually, I’m far more worried about this homophobic guy:

My sympathy becomes a little stretched when you purposely elect a proud proto-fascist.

But it was struck down by the Supreme court. A court that may, at some point, have 3 judges selected by him serving. If that happens, he’s absolutely going to try to gut the first amendment.

You can’t do this *now.*

Can you do this with a quiescent Congress and a different majority on the Supreme Court? Oh, you bet your ass you can.

Don’t forget, Eichman and Texas v. Johnson were both 5-4 decisions, and the fact that Stevens was in the dissent suggests that the issue can cut across normal party lines.

I…

Donald Trump?

I am the proud owner of volumes 1,2 & 3 of the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia. Let me tell you, I had no idea of the levels of antisemitism running amok in Russia at that time until I opened up those books. I mean, really, really awful stuff.

A more useful path for the Catholic Church to join the modern age would be for it to simply go away. Sell off all of its assets and give that insane pile of money to the poor and then just go away.
