Catholic church's hate for gay people, women, and everyone else who is not an impotent old white Catholic man is really deep
Quote:Catholic church opposed suicide hotline because it included support for LGBTQ people
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops quietly lobbied behind the scenes against the creation of the National Suicide Hotline in 2019 because it included specific support for LGBTQ people.
The group of church leaders also opposes the Violence Against Woman Act for the same reason.
The men also refuse to consider providing broader public accommodations protections for women, people of color, and the disabled that would be included in the Equality Act because the bill would provide nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people.
The Equality Act would be a “violation of precious rights to life and conscience,” they say. New York Cardinal Timothy Nolan described the bill as “ill-named” and said it would “chip away at religious freedom.”
But the bishops are only strengthening public suspicions that they aren’t trying to protect religious beliefs as much as they seek a license for religious people to discriminate against LGBTQ people with impunity, declaring them above the law.
The Equality Act would amend federal civil rights law to include prohibitions for discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, credit, and jury service.

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"
