Disagree. The 400m relay race is pretty important. Wink

Another day, another bishop is having a hissy fit.

Quote:Bishop condemns UNL student's drag performance mocking Catholic Mass

Bishop James Conley of the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln has expressed outrage over a University of Nebraska-Lincoln doctoral student's drag performance that is said to have mocked Catholicism. The performance, composed by Joesph Willette, a graduate student attending UNL, sparked controversy and criticism from religious and conservative groups.

According to the UNL's commencement program Willette earned a doctoral of musical arts in composition. The drag performance was one of the final things he did before graduating.

The show imitated different tradition parts of Catholic Mass and featured different hymns from Gloria to Sanctus. The event was hosted by Our Saviour's Lutheran Church on Apr. 12, 2025 in Lincoln and was a recording was posted to YouTube shortly after.

The Diocese of Lincoln described the performance as "disturbing and appalling," criticizing it as a "blatant public display of faith-based discrimination." He called on the university to take action against those who encouraged the performance, stating, "There is no redeeming value in such a display of ignorance."

The performance was described by Willette as a culmination of his studies in music composition and gender, sexuality and queer communities. Willette said through social media to explain that the work juxtaposed "the holy and the profane, the sacred and the sinful."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

They only mocked religion, they didn't condemn them to hell fire!

Again, the morality of the Catholic Church turns out to be immoral.

Quote:Metairie parents rally behind gay Catholic teacher who lost his job at St. Francis Xavier

A longtime Catholic school music teacher beloved by parents is out of a job, and he claims part of the reason is that he didn't disclose he was living with his late husband.

Mark Richards taught at St. Francis Xavier for years. He says he is angry, especially because his husband died two years ago, and teaching is his life.

"It's just a stab in the back,” Richards said. “I was stunned. It’s just a sad reality that this is the world we live in today. It’s heartbreaking I enjoyed teaching at this school I loved those kids.”

"It's just time for this to stop. The rest of the free world does not think homosexuality is a big deal," Richards said.

Richards has taught music at St. Francis Xavier for more than two decades. When he was hired, he said he had to sign a morality clause. According to Richards, he had been married to his husband since 2014, prior to his death.

WDSU obtained a copy of the contract and the morality clause. The records state that certain specific acts violate the spirit of the Gospel and the church's teaching, which may lead to termination.

Those violations include, in part:

●Actively engaging in homosexual activity

●Obtaining or assisting another to obtain an abortion

●Becoming pregnant, out of wedlock, while teaching/working in a Catholic school;

●Fathering a child out of wedlock


He claims his career came to an end when his husband's obituary resurfaced.

Richards said when he asked the Archdiocese of New Orleans what policy he violated, he said they specifically referenced him living with his late husband.

Parents have reached out to WDSU expressing their outrage. A petition filed by parents now has more than 300 signatures.

RE: Damned Catholics
Pope’s recent meeting with Opus Dei backfires as his key interlocutor, Fr. Mariano Fazio, is investigated by Argentine prosecution service for trafficking and slavery of women. Fazio is former rector of Pontifical University of the Holy Cross

Quote:The Argentine justice system accuses the auxiliary vicar of Opus Dei of human trafficking and reduction to servitude

Reduction to servitude and human trafficking are the crimes for which the highest authorities of Opus Dei in Argentina are accused. Those accused since last year are four priests and now another is added: it is about Mariano Fazio, who today is auxiliary vicar of the Prelature of the Holy Cross, that is, the second in global command of the conservative Catholic organization. The court case states that at least 43 women were recruited by Opus Dei when they were minors, with deception and promises, to be forced to work for free for decades as domestic workers.

If until now the case affected those who drove the Argentine delegation of the Work between 1991 and 2022, the new accusation by the prosecution reaches its current highest hierarchy, based in Rome. The priest Mariano Fazio (Buenos Aires, 1960) is the main collaborator of the Spanish Fernando Ocáriz, prelate of Opus Dei, and the first in the order of succession, according to the tradition of the religious congregation.

The accused in the case are former regional vicars of the institution in Argentina: Carlos Nannei (1991-2000), Patricio Olmos (2000-2010) and Víctor Urrestarazu (2014-2022), who are joined by Gabriel Dondo, former secretary in charge of the Women Section in the South American country.

The judicial investigation of the events began in 2022, after the public complaint made the previous year, and the indictment was formally filed in 2024. There it is maintained that 43 women in vulnerable situations were attracted to the Work, when they were between 12 and 16 years old, with the promise that they would have a home and could go to school. It was, prosecutors maintained, a plan that “consisted of presenting a false proposal related to the possibility of continuing and completing their primary and secondary studies, as well as receiving vocational training to obtain job opportunities, all in a context of religious education”. But the only instruction they received was to carry out domestic tasks —ironing, cooking and cleaning—, to satisfy the demands of the male members of Opus Dei, both in Argentina and in other destinations. “Without receiving a salary” and without their rights being respected.

Women had to abide, under threat of punishment, by a series of “lifestyle norms”: obligation of chastity, breaking family and social ties, in addition to periodic health check-ups that included the provision of psychiatric medication. They did not have access to the media.

Catholicism's rules are strict but totally fair and just. People would do well to conduct themselves with a bit more decorum.

There is nothing just in punishing people for homosexuality, abortions, and having children out of wedlock; all while protecting pedophiles and performing human trafficking.
