How would you feel if people posted on here attributing to you and all Jews the actions and beliefs of the worst offenders among the Orthodox Jew you just called fools? Because that is what you are doing to Catholics in your post. |
Please I'm Catholic in NYC and don't take any offense to what PP said. In Suffolk County there is a lot of MAGA, but that is not every Catholic everywhere and we all know that. |
Fair point. |
This is true. |
PP is correct. Just some Catholics are known to be pedophiles or covering up for them. Pp doesn't mind being associated with them. |
If I felt any group I was affiliated with supported pedophiles or voted en mass for a felon, I'd leave that group. I think most decent people would |
All Catholics are certainly not MAGA but many certainly are. The right wing MAGA Catholics have joined forces with the right wing evangelicals to push their pseudo version of Christianity onto others. There are many highly educated MAGA Catholics in the DMV who wish to push their religion onto others. The intellectuals behind the MAGA movement tend to be Catholic. Latter includes several Justices. Absent changes, the Catholic Church in the US will increasingly become dominated by the MAGA types, as the more sensible Catholics simply leave. Unlike several protestant denominations, the Catholic Church is not splitting into two. |
And the next move will be parochial schools being subsidized by taxpayers. In smaller communities, the end result will be that students have no choice but to attend a Catholic parochial school. |
What a judgmental bigot you are! I hope you are not Catholic because you need to confess this. You certainly aren't Christian be ause you are judging others without knowledge. |
Sadly, the Catholic Church in America is in decline because of MAGA. Some sensible people are leaving, and many who remain are disheartened and disillusioned. I wish we could break into two. One Church for normal people and then the other for the MAGA Catholic crazies. They really don't give a damn about the future of the faith. All they care about is forcing their misogyny and homophobia on everyone else in the here and now, including non-Catholics, and banishing Catholic folk mass music from mass. |
Catholic relief organizations are affected too. |
Catholic Charities’ work to ensure folks know their rights is the definition of faith in action; the USCCB is a whole other story — the Federalist Society of the Catholic Church. |
Lifelong Catholic here. I’m in my 50s and seriously considering leaving the church. MAGA is destroying the church from the inside out. Nationally, Catholics voted for Trump by a 15 point margin. Trump goes against everything I thought the church stood for. MAGA actively seek to be cruel. They are focused on wealth and power instead of caring for fellow man and for the environment. I still have faith but I don’t have anything in common with the people around me in the pews. It makes me very sad. |
The right parish of Episcopalians or Lutherans would probably work for you. The service is very much the same and the people vary from parish to parish, like everything else. Maybe you could even find another local Catholic parish that suited you. |
