Church first brainwashes people and then wonders why are people so removed from reality
Quote:Some parents of Boston College students are outraged the school mandates vaccinations against COVID, despite Pope Francis’s guidance
“This is not what BC taught me when I was there,” said an alumna. “Even my priest couldn’t believe it.”
Some parents of Boston College students are shocked, outraged, and deeply offended that BC is insisting that students returning to campus be vaccinated.
That’s not good enough for those who claim their children’s religious freedom is being violated by being forced to take vaccines that were tested using fetal tissue harvested from aborted fetuses decades ago.
This, remember, is the same crowd that demanded BC rescind an honorary degree for Enda Kenny, then taoiseach, or prime minister, of Ireland because Kenny, as the duly elected leader of a constitutional republic, had the audacity to follow a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to create an exception to Ireland’s then-strict prohibition of abortion when the life of a mother was in danger.
To its credit, BC stuck to its guns in that instance, even after Cardinal Sean regrettably gave cover to those ultra-conservative Catholics who obsess about abortion while the preening, judgmental bishops who preside over their church dismiss gay people as “disordered” and act as though it’s still the 18th century when it comes to women.
In the meantime, those Catholic anti-vaxxers might want to have their kids transfer to Providence College. The bishop in Providence is more up their alley, though it should be noted that most alleys are, in fact, dead ends.

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"
