Schizophrenic man that hears voices tells his cultists no body mods.

Better title.

Haha I agree

Our planet becoming nearly uninhabitable or uninhabitable with millions if not billions of people dying seems like a bigger problem. But then again spreading hate about the LGBTQ+ is more important to the spokesperson for 'god'.

The pope did not read the full address, instead delegating the task to Monsignor Filippo Ciampanelli. “I still have a cold and it’s tiring to read for a while,” the pope said to the participants assembled at the Vatican.

Where's your god now? Can't even give his #1 on earth the strength to mumble his message of hate. Fucking losers.

The world is on fire, fascism is rising, and your god is dead.

ETA: I actually personally left the Catholic Church over their stance on trans people. I had had other issues for a long time, and was firmly pro abortion, gay marriage, and female priesthood, but those were things I thought I might see them come around on. But then I got to trying to figure out why I was so damn miserable. Long story of self discovery later I learned I’m trans and that the psychological agony I’d been in my entire pubescent life was gender dysphoria and that’s why nothing was fixing it. The Catholic Church’s stance was that I either accept easily curable pain for the rest of my life that has little downside or a loving god will punish me forever when I die. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I took a year off of Christianity to cleanse my palate as I transitioned expecting to go episcopal or Quaker and wound up atheist -> pagan with an understanding that I will choose gods by their morality rather than choosing my morality by my gods.

"it's okay he's a good guy he ate spaghetti with Italian trans women"

“It is very important that there is this meeting, this meeting between men and women, because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences,” the pope said during an audience with members of the French-based academic organization Research and Anthropology of Vocations Institute (CRAV).

Gender ideology, which seeks to blur differences between men and women through movements such as transgenderism, “makes everything the same"

I mean...isn't this a good thing? Why the fuck do men have to hold doors open for women, specifically? Why are women supposed to be the stay at home parents? Equality seems pretty fucking good tbh. I mean, good lord, men have nipples and that line on the scrotum because we start out as women while in development. The proto-ovaries descend to become testicles. We have some hormonal differences and some brain development differences, but we truly are not that different. Being seen as equals should be a thing we strive for. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter who you fuck or what privates you have. We all only have one life on this planet, make the most of it. And be nice to other people while on this place.

Sure, it's a good thing for people for whom these differences represent disadvantages. The Catholic Church, however, is a historical beneficiary (and cause) of the oppression of women, so blurring the line threatens that disadvantage.

That's RIGHT! GENDER IDEOLOGY is the Ugliest Danger! Says the man who Protects Child Abusers!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

But think of the clergymen who are diddling boys that might accidentally diddle a trans boy! They might get PTSD or something! 😢

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To steelman, or whatever they call it. Perhaps he's calling for radical acceptance; that men and women are undeniably different, and those differences are something that should be celebrated rather than denied.

Today the ugliest danger is ~~gender ideology~~ religion.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Always has been.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

"Gender ideology" has absolutely nothing on organized religion in that regard.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 year ago

Thank goodness! I was starting to like the head of the Catholic Church for a second there. That's better! No hate like Christian love, Frankie.

I'm surprised by this, I thought this guy was basically a socialist.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, he's a guy who's desperately trying to market a crusty old religion to a population that gets more tolerant and progressive with each generation. They've just barely started pretending they dont actively hate gay people, it'll be a few more decades before they do anything like that for trans people.

Funny how God seems to change his mind about social issues whenever the pews start getting empty.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, this is basically “ok, I’ve said some tolerant things about gay people, can’t let the hardliners think I’m out of control, let me make sure I repeat the whole “man and woman are specifically created by god” thing
