I think religion is not wrong to value life or see it as inherently precious
A baby is a financial disaster, woman ends up with the baby, without father, no financial support So womens sexuality is what determines births, and we need fewer births All that aside, I see religion as deeply favoring men. The ones that allow women priests are moderate, the rest can be deemed as backward in their own way |
Look up infallibility… the Pope is only infallible when he ex cathedra aka “speaks from the chair”, which he rarely does. Vatican 2 isn’t even infallible. The Pope is one source of information… God who should speak to you through your soul or the Holy Spirit is your only real guide. Men are sinners, they are not perfect and power is a dangerous aphrodisiac. Don’t let them have power over you. Sit quietly with your soul (not your ego) what does it say … follow that |
I have the Catechism and Catholics for dummies and pope John Paul’s book all there within a hands reach. I am from a extremely religious family. We joke that they educated us too much we can see through the errors of the preachers. Hold up padre what about (fill in quote of scripture). Read up, learn but then apply logic and common sense. Listen to what god tells you through your soul. |
Yup. The American Taliban - the GOP - wants to oppress women with their extremist religious beliefs. |
IOW, use your head. Or in religious terms, use the brain that god gave you. |
| They don’t view women as humans. They think the possibility that a 10 yr old rape victim may be carrying a male is more important than the life of the 10 yr old female. |

I love how we have these Catholics who are trying to convince us that it’s totally ok to just reject what the Church/Vatican says.
None of us believe that’s how it works. |
If Vatican 2 isn’t infallible, then does that mean that if my soul tells me that the Jews killed Jesus, then it’s ok if that’s what I believe? |
Has your soul told you that it was it your ego? Or was it your brain? |
I’m position that my soul told me that. |
*positing |
I hate how some Catholics were duped into blindly following fallible men and reject Jesus’s actual teachings. |
You can’t posit about your soul. Your ego is in overdrive. BTW ego has nothing to do with being egotistical. Your deep need to prove somebody else wrong with debate strategies is getting in the way of your spiritual growth. |
How can you be Catholic and reject what the Church says? If you want to solely follow what Jesus says and reject the Church entirely, then just switch to another denomination of Christianity. |
You said “sit quietly with your soul.” You also said “Vatican 2 is not infallible.” I am asking you whether that means that if I sit quietly with my soul and conclude that the Jews killed Jesus, is that ok? |
