[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP made a great point about motherhood making one vulnerable to conservative propaganda.

Being a SAHM for 8 years in this area has definitely moved me rightward. Not enough to join this group or party (I'm also an atheist...). But Dems have been shortsighted in totally ignoring parents who want to stay home while Vance (someone I deplore!) embraces us. Found this article fascinating.  [/quote]

Huh, I’m a SAHM in the area and it has moved me leftward, and sort of more opposed to religion generally. I see all those St Jerome’s kids running around and I feel terrible about the ones who are inevitably gay or trans. Like even if the church doesn’t do anything “wrong” like on the level of their history of child abuse, it’s going to be awful for those kids. And their families, honestly. I just don’t see the Catholic Church as being pro-family at all. [/quote]

Churches are pro "in-group" family. That is, they will support pro-family policies if you fit the mold of what they deem to be an "acceptable" family. Families at congregations have always turned their nose up at single mother households, families with the "sensitive" boy (aka he will be gay), families that have a problematic or disabled child, inter-racial families, etc.[/quote]

Depends on the church’s. My Episcopal church in NOVA is very accepting of all kinds of families (same sex parents, single parent by choice, divorced, interracial, international. etc), has done gay marriages for almost 2 decades and has gay ministers. It definitely is no where near one size fits all. Please stop spreading this narrative. [/quote]

I doubt your church is crawling with MAGAs and realignment conservatives. Sorry, but Episcopalian is where the outcast Christians go after they got bullied at Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran and Evangelical churches. I love the Episcopalians for that reason. But the Episcopalians are hemorrhaging congregants. [/quote]
