The purpose of the Church - of any church, actually - is not to deliver moral lessons, if by that you mean "pretend it's morally superior". When religious people do that, which obviously happens regularly, they're wrong.
Being hungry for dirty little secrets is definitely a sign of a narcissist, and t**** is def a malignant narcissist. Nothing they love more than something they can hurt you with later.
Well we agree there. The purpose of the church is to stockpile wealth and keep the population pliable. But in order to do that they pretend to hold a position of moral superiority.
Omg you mean I’m wrong about the Church socking away incredible wealth? I guess it could be worse. They could be doing things like helping pedophiles evade justice. That would be much worse.
Not that a surprise. What surprises me is the readiness of the German bishops to throw old dogmata over board: ordination of women - necessary; celibacy of priests - has to go; homosexual employees - no problem. Etc.
Yep. I went to Catholic school for a few years. Playground was paved. I was and am convinced that it was an evil plan to get us to tear holes in our uniforms while playing, so the nuns and teachers could verbally and physically abuse us.
The envoy from the Vatican has already dampened expectations

Sophomoric, Sam. Are you really a teen, or do you just sound like one?
Do you have a point to make or you’re really falling back on name calling so soon?
Your arguments are sophomoric, Sam. All I'm asking is if there is a logical explanation, like maybe you're in the sophomore age range.

Of course.
These people are never jazzed about life. They are only jazzed about keeping females pregnant and forcing them to give birth.
They're consistently stupid and reliably nasty.

I hope it happens here. Way overdue.
The day a prenatal test for LBGTQ+ is developed, the Republicans will be all for medical test mandates and government funded abortion on demand.
I daresay it's overdue everywhere. I really wonder whether the scandalous behaviour of the French primas, cardinal Barberin, will have consequences.
