What dangerous cult would that be?

You've got to be kidding me. What pray tell is so dangerous about orthodox Catholicism. Y'all are killing me here.

Uh, huh. Have you even stepped foot in a Catholic Church? (I'm probably a member of this Orthodox cult you speak of) I can assure you it's full of very happy,
successful women from all walks of life. Those who have had successful careers (including Judge Barret) while successfully balancing home life. Most have college educations, many have doctorates. So what if they choose to put their career on hold or decide to stay home and raise a family? How is it oppressive of women to actually want to be wives and mothers. Studies have shown they're actually healthier and happier than women who forego traditional roles to keep up with social pressures to only focus on a career to make money.

Yes, a good six centuries head start on islam, which therefore, being still young and stuck in the juvenile imbecilic age, those delightful moslem pets of the PC contigent get to rape TENS of THOUSANDS of Kurds, Shiites, Druze, Zoroastrians, Jews, and yes, Christian W-W-WOMEN by dozens of men per day to the point that they can't even walk from the pain, as well as indulge in the impressive mass entertainment spectacle of throwing 15 year old boys off rooftops for the crime of allowing themselves to get forcibly and repeatedly raped by soldiers who will get a severe talking to by the iman for their naughty deed. I hear beheadings are really hot too.

I hope this deflection back into the real world where THE Pope of the Catholic Church just announced the other day that same-sex unions are ok. But then again, that's to be expected with the religion and culture that made such permissable in the first placee unless the reeducation camps in China and N Korea only reeducate those who, like Catholics, aren't all huggy about homosexuality because we must force everyone to like everyone - except the majority culture because they had it too good for too long so now they get to suffer at the hands of those they just made legal.

When you gotta read Vaga's comment 3 times before upvoting because you're not sure if he's agreeing with ya or picking a fight ;)

The truth does not need to be filtered through personal leanings to apply.
I try to tell it straight whenever possible.

Appreciate the honesty. Cheers!

So it's ok to criticize a Catholic woman for her beliefs even though there is evidence that her beliefs don't interfere with her job but we shouldn't criticize a Muslim woman? Show me an oppressed Catholic woman today, I could show you plenty of oppressed Muslim women. Judge Barrett as heck don't seem oppressed. Catholicism honors women more than many other faiths. If you actually take a minute and do research and read what has been written. I suggest you start with Mulierus Dignitatem (On the Dignity of Women) http://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_letters/1988/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_19880815_mulieris-dignitatem.html

What year are we in now? Oh the 21st century? Oh, ok. So why are we judging a woman based on the 1800 and 1900's? And she herself as well as those who know her and work with her said her faith doesn't interfere (actually a point that some hardcore Catholics might turn their nose at) sorry for deflecting again but last I checked Catholicism wasn't the one having arranged or forced marriages sometimes to underaged girls and making multiple women pop out babies fathered by one husband in order to populate the world and convert it to their way of thinking.

Really? Progress since that far back?

In most societies TODAY women are treated as inferior, and as property in most Islamic countries with no rights whatsover.

Even after decades of egalitarian atheistic Communism, the USSR, China, N Korea and whatever else still treat women as secondary. That's 2020, not into the 1900s.

In our society, now, today, women are also treated unequally.
Not as bad as the rest of them - in fact, our American Christian society has been the birthplace of numerous equal rights movements that have spanned the world - women, racial, and yes, gay - Stonewall the bar wouldn't have even existed in ANY country outside of the Christian West, let alone have a riot spanning days. Or as former President of Iran Ahmadinejad once famoulsy said in response to the question of gay rights in Iran, "Gays? We don't have that problem"

"No, Catholicism is just the one with a disgustingly long list of religious leaders who have been caught repeatedly raping young children and covering it up, physically abusing children in orphanages, and hiding the bodies of young women who died in their institutions (google Magdalene laundries)"

Correct, a list.
As the largest Church in the World with extensive record keeping spanning millenia, a very long list indeed. Something not matched by, say, Protestant denominations lacking such a centralized body, being autonomous, some, in fact, independent units run out of someone's home with no one to answer too nor keep documents beyond monetary, let alone going back centuries and including the pastor's misdeeds with the congregation.

Nevertheless, cases involving Protestent clergies, Rabbis, and yes, Imams have come to light.

Even with Amish, who have been alotted a large degree of independence maintaining their own justice system.
How, you ask? Typically in the rare cases those alleged of such are reported or otherwise exposed, a confession and apology in front of the congregation is had, followed by prayer, and a sincere effort to mend one's ways is then allowed to proceed. Needless to say, this system of reform is about as effective as it is cut out to be, so it's basic play and repeat and repeat. Abuse can thus continue unabated like this, with the most grievous maybe finally ending up in shunning.

"I'm not trying to hit below the belt but you're forcing my hand by trying to make it sound like Catholicism is all good and wonderful."

You mean the way many have gone below the belt with you on this site regarding the higher rates of child molestation involving LGBTQs or as with certain distasteful accusations of a more personal sort?
If anyone here should more aware of the very lesson you spend so much time and energy lecturing others on it is you. Taking numbers representing the vile behavior of minority of abhorrent individuals and pretending they are somehow representative - nay, advocated by the whole - is dishonest, reflecting a most cynical of personal grudges.

Want a religion that DOES advocate raping of children and women and treats both as chattel to be used and disposed of, as written in their own religious text? Then read up on Islam. And no, the "B-B-But they've only been around a mere ONE THOUSAND AND FOUR HUNDRED YEARS" is not an excuse. Try 8000, being the birthplace of civilization. Time for them to grow up.

ignore this, just a marker to me

Was supposed to say some to the effect of "false claim of," or "assertion," but ran out of room and forgot to fix while going through the rest editing and trying make room.

Come man, who you're kidding?
Go try and open a gay bar anywhere east of the Bosporus and see how many seconds you'll last after you even propose it. Heck, go start a LGBTQAetc blog anywhere outside of the West and see what happens.

Those movements weren't opposed by Christians because the were Christians, but by people who happened to be Christians. And it was that Christian background that allowed them to evolve beyond what everyone everywhere else has.1969 wasn't that long ago, you know. And despite having had 7 decades of Atheistic Communism that a majority of its citizens were born into, Stonewall hasn't exactly echoed in Russia just quite yet.

Are you claiming Christians inhabit every corner of the World, you know, were Sunni Kurdish women are raped by Sunni Arabs for being Iranic in Iraq, a 12yo girl dies in while giving birth to her 70yo husband's child in Palestine, Uighurs moved into concentration camps while Uighurstan and Tibet are slowly erased in China, a woman is sentenced to be gang raped because her 15yo brother who was kindapped and raped by 4 men was 'prostituting' himself in Pakistan, a ganf of Hindus RAPE TO DEATH a woman on a public bus in India?

You let me know where the Catholic Church has sanctioned anything remotely as disgustingly beyond barbaric while this has been going on with these sad little savages.
Go ahead, I'll wait.

LOL Biden and Pelosi say they're catholic you have no problem with that.

I legit know no one who wants to take rights away from the LGBT there are literally gay conservatives. As for reproductive rights, I'm assuming you mean abortion.

I don't hate liberals I hate leftists. Liberals are more like conservatives than most people think other than matter abortion. You should check out Charlie Kirk and Michael Knowles I agree with them a lot.

Terminating a pregnancy is murder. It doesn't matter what stage the baby is aborted it's the destruction of the further development of a person. For example, would it be ok if a mother slit her child's throat arguing that her child was not yet an adult and not completely developed?

What I'm trying to say why would gays want to destroy their own communities?

If conservatives were so hell-bent on destroying LGBTQ community then there wouldn't be any conservative gays.

Because of better values that's why.

Abortion is literally murdering anyone who thinks otherwise has a total disregard for life. Again conservative gay.

I just find it funny you didn't mention that.

What rights?

Wait whose taking people's rights?

I miss read that.

Is that a bad thing?

I'm not going to change your mind and vice versa. We're pretty much wasting time here. Have a good life.

She believes that wives ought to be subservient to their husbands, so she DOES think that wives ought to be barefoot, pregnant, living in the kitchen and bring their husband sandwiches.

Lol. I believe her husband is the one stuck making sandwiches.

Religious beliefs should not be forced down our throats in judicial rulings businesses, etc. Just because YOU or anyone else may think abortion is wrong, just because YOU or anyone else may thinks LBGT people shouldn't marry or is a sin, doesn't mean a majority of the population feel the same way you do. Oh! and by the way..... when is the Catholic hierarchy going to punish all of the priests and cardinals who have practiced pedophilia over the last several years, huh? don't get all righteous on me or anyone else! >:(

not true
