The Vatican on Monday declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, putting them on par with abortion and euthanasia as practices that reject God’s plan for human life.

The Vatican’s doctrine office issued “Infinite Dignity,” a 20-page declaration that has been in the works for five years. After substantial revision in recent months, it was approved March 25 by Pope Francis, who ordered its publication.

In its most eagerly anticipated section, the Vatican repeated its rejection of “gender theory,” or the idea that one’s gender can be changed. It said God created man and woman as biologically different, separate beings, and said people must not tinker with that plan or try to “make oneself God.”

“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document said.

This is barely news; the headline might as well be 'Hate group hates'. But jeez, I giggled at the start of the fourth paragraph with, "In its most eagerly anticipated section…" Even among Christians, even among very-very-Christians, is there anyone who "eagerly anticipates" the Vatican's declarations of doctrine?

"Organization that has repeatedly violated human dignity by organizationally exploiting children for sexual purposes (when not outright abusing and murdering them for being the wrong color), and brutally oppressing those who it declares carrying the sin of "wrong think", thinks its allowed to have an actual opinion on the very concept of human dignity, much less what adult individuals pursue to obtain their image of it"

A man who claims he talks to a great sky wizard says the wizard doesn't like it when you do something that incidentally, he also does not like. He says he's very sorry but these are the rules, and the great sky wizard will be very cross with you if you don't follow them.

He says you'll be burned alive for eternity and deserve it if you seek out appropriate care for psychological issues. Wait no that can't be right can it?

the vatican can blast this dick

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

They'd only be interested if you were a minor

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

So glad they're only blasting it and not slamming it.

Diderot said "Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest". About time , if you ask me.

Not holding my breath, but I'd love to see a day when religious leaders run out of followers.

No it's not, but being abused by a priest sure as hell is.

The social engineering once forced upon the masses to increase slave production is finally coming close to irrelevance

Remember kids: this is the leftwing darling good Pope.

Religion, not even once.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

More of a liberal darling ya? Pretty sure the left is anti-pope in general.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I would basically be fine with the Pope if he stopped the child fucking. The bar is pretty low. I try to have a bit of empathy for the elderly not being very progressive.

Funny I felt a lot less dignity without gender affirming surgery.

And on a bitchier note, my genitals may be handmade, but I’m allowed to use them.

can we just blow up the vatican

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That doesn't sound fair to Italy. I am sure Italy has enough issues without random debris raining down on her.

A heist at the Vatican is my best chance at being able to afford retirement at this point, I'd appreciate if one of the more ethical options to steal from isn't destroyed before I can get to it.

Can I be your tech expert who disables the alarms? Or at least the distraction?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You're in. Now we've just got to make sure we get into the right vault and not one that's just full of the "relics" of body parts from dead saints.

Violence is not the answer to this level of zealously and hate. They will just squeeze their ignorant followers for money to rebuild bigger and more extravagant than before. You have to hurt them by making them a non-issue. Vote for political candidates and laws that remove religion from politics.
