Hundreds and hundreds of years.
Well, priests aren’t supposed to get married or have kids. I guess they found a loophole to “still get into heaven”, or something. Who knows. It’s all fucked up.
We found out about it because those people are still alive. The Catholic church has been at this for centuries
Thousand plus years.
I don’t know exactly when sneaky catholic scribes changed up the wording to make being gay bad except when they’re being gay with children. But it’s definitely their doing.
Pretty sure there isn’t a single Catholic among them that would tell you such actions weren’t sinning…
Totally. You think they parade around at NAMBLA marches or something?
They would if they were honest.
But don’t worry. Catholics don’t have a monopoly on child abuse. Evangelical youth pastors are gunning for the crown. (They’ll never get close. But they’re trying)
Catholics did not write the scripture that says being gay is bad; that’s from the Torah - the Old Testament. Christianity came after Judaism and believes in both the old and new testaments.
You could look up the exact text for it easily. It’s basically “he who lies with a man as with a woman…” and something about him being an abomination and should be put to death or something like that.
Some might argue that’s the point of the church.
As someone who is stationed close to a catholic church should i be weary?
Ive honestly thought that there is a distinct possiblity that hundreds of years ago the church was the unspoken way to dispose of your children who had no interest in breeding and furthering the family line. They are your kids, and you love them but if they arent carrying their weight in the family…
So off to the dark building full of shadowy alcoves, loose fitting clothing and lots of secrecy full of other men “cut of a similar cloth”.
