Pope Francis condemned the âvery strong, organised, reactionary attitudeâ in the US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Pope Francis has blasted the âbackwardnessâ of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francisâ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
Yea I donât think Iâm changing your opinion here. I think everything has two sides to it. Iâm of the opinion of just let people live their lives. Shoving atheism down everyoneâs throat is equally as annoying as shoving religion. Remember that religion â Christianity. The Greeks gods are also pretty cool in my opinion.
Itâs just human nature to âworshipâ something. Whether it be materialism or idealism. As I see it, there couldnât have been an early world without religion because humans are just that way.
If your Mom is being scammed by a Nigerian prince via email, you would shout to the rooftops to tell her and try to protect her.
Brain washed religious people should be warned just as vigorously.
My mom isnât going to be scammed by the Nigerian prince if she already knows it is a scam. Thatâs the importance of educating yourself.
Brain washed religous people â religion. Thatâs my distinction. Just because people murder each other in Harry Potter doesnât mean kids are going to interpret that to go on and be murderers.
The people who should be ridiculed for the actions are the murderers, not the entire fanbase.
