    In reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality

    mf saying they want to focus on equality while at the same time saying gay couples blessings, something that would bring EQUALITY, isn’t a priority… make it make sense 🤡

      They believe marriage is for the sole purpose of procreation, which is their little loophole. They’re so weird about it that I’m surprised they’ve never pushed fertility tests as a pre requisite before allowing a marriage ceremony.

        If they truly believe that then why are they all celibate? They are chalk full of pedophiles too. Why I hate any post praising the pope. Fucker also lives like a king. Wonder how many of the popes are pedophiles themselves.

          Priests cannot marry. Marriage and the Priesthood (Holy Orders) are the only sacraments that are mutually exclusive.

            Eastern Catholic priests can marry, actually. There are married Catholic priests out there right now, and not because they converted in from Anglicanism after they married (though those exist, too), but fully cradle Catholics who were married before their vocation. Somehow this has not exploded the church or whatever. It is inconsistent and ridiculous.

          Bats are birds, as per the Bible. Donkeys talk, as per the Bible. Slave owning is cool as long as you don’t beat them to death, as per the Bible.

          There’s plenty of stuff in the Bible that’s utter garbage.

                Leviticus 11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

                2 Peter 2:16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

                This is a miracle, not a statement that donkeys speak (literally SPEECHLESS DONKEY)

                Numbers 22:28 The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

                Again, A MIRACLE

                Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

                  The entire Bible should clearly be disregarded over the whole bird thing. Unless of courses you are seriously telling me that the ancient hebrews didn’t use our western classification systems for animals, but that would just be ludicrous.

                    Did god write it, or not? Why intentionally leave in any confusing mistakes? He must not be all-powerful.

                  OOPS

                  Exodus 21:20 “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.

                  Exodus 21:21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.

                  if the servant is “beat to death”, the man will be punished

                  and as Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament, it mostly doesnt apply to us anymore

                    Bats don’t belong on that list.

                    As for talking donkeys, you can’t bring obvious fiction or superstition into the real world by proclaiming “MIRACLE”. That’s now how reality works.

                    And “hey the slave didn’t die so by all means carry on owning another human being as property” is not the moral flex you think it is.

                    You haven’t proven the bible is accurate or moral. You’ve only proven that you are brainwashed by your religion into justifying atrocities and need to work on bettering yourself.

                    Finally, why are you explaining your holy book? A book that supposedly contains the infallible word of a god should not need mere mortals to explain it. God should have hired a holy ghost writer.

          Or a man and his many wives? Including slaves?

          The bible is human bullshit. It exists to normalize abuse. You took the bait and we all suffer for your failing.

              When did that change?

              And you’re still ignoring the slavery problem.

              Abram’s wife couldn’t conceive, so he fucked her slave. God condoned this action by sending an angel to tell the victim to return to her abusers and bear their child.
