Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yeah... they are "right" but almost assuredly for the wrong reasons.
catholicism is pretty much the blueprint for what right wing assholes are doing with "evangelicals". Batshit insane extremists who want to control as many governments (and armies) as possible.
So if the catholic church is complaining? That just means someone isn't kissing the ring (or the Prince Albert, if you are a little boy).
Right wing fascists are fucking insane and going to be the death of the world. But this really doesn't mean shit
doesn't mean shit
It could to people it's targeted at. I know a lot of devote catholics because I was raised in that faith. Some of them might actually listen to these comments from the pope. At the very least, if they defy the pope, then they'll at least stop affiliating with the church.
If they stop affiliating with the church, that's a win IMO. these people don't follow Jesus
