Quote:Catholic group launches $9.7M campaign against Biden targeting swing-state voters
A Catholic voters group launched a $9.7 million campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, targeting Catholic voters in swing states.
Biden, if he is elected, would be the country's second Catholic president and the first since John F. Kennedy.
The group attacking Biden, CatholicVote, is a conservative faith-based advocacy group that takes issue with Biden's position on abortion, among other issues.
"Joe Biden's record makes clear he will not protect our Catholic values or defend our way of life," CatholicVote President Brian Burch said in a statement. "For Catholics who cherish the Faith and their freedom to live it, a Biden presidency represents an existential threat."

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"

Churches in Germany are closing because of sex. Priests don't want to carry the cross of blue balls for Christ anymore.
Quote:Germany’s Largest and Richest Archdiocese Will Close 90% of Its Churches by 2030
In Germany, the Archdiocese of Cologne — the largest and richest archdiocese in the nation — is shrinking from 500 churches to 50 over the next decade. (Hey, for once, a good tithe!) That’s according to Wolfgang Picken, the head of one of Germany’s oldest Catholic churches.
Somehow, the Church is no longer appealing to potential priests with its marketing campaign of No Sex For Life and people always associating you with child sex abuse. One organization that’s critical of the new plans says the celibacy requirement is the biggest obstacle to finding more priests. But even if Catholic officials consider budging in certain situations, that’s a rule that’s not about to change.
Reducing the number of churches also means some people will just stop attending since the closest one may be too far away from home.

 I guess they haven't heard of Jefferson's "wall of separation" between church and state?

"The Church was a thousand years old before it definitively took a stand in favor of celibacy in the twelfth century at the Second Lateran Council held in 1139, when a rule was approved forbidding priests to marry. In 1563, the Council of Trent reaffirmed the tradition of celibacy."

Let me guess: nice guys finish last
Quote:Priest recorded having group sex on altar of Pearl River church, police say; 3 arrested
Peering inside, the onlooker saw the small parish's pastor half-naked having sex with two women on the altar, according to court documents. The women were dressed in corsets and high-heeled boots. There were sex toys and stage lighting. And a mobile phone as well as a separate camera were mounted on tripods, recording it all. One woman was defecating into priest's mouth and saying: "Body of Christ".

Well, it's certainly going to make for an entertaining court case.

And the altar of the church was immediately burned by the archbishop who also consecrated a new altar, all in 48 hours.
So catholic church can be swift when they want to.
In other words: if priests rape a child on the altar, church doesn't do anything unless they are really pressed by the community and put the priest in some other community, but if a priest has a consensual sex with adults he is immediately arrested.
Quote:The archbishop of New Orleans says an altar used as the setting for a shocking tryst involving a priest has been turned to ash.
His obscene behavior was deplorable,” Aymond said. “His desecration of the altar in Church was demonic. I am infuriated by his actions. When the details became clear, we had the altar removed and burned. I will consecrate a new altar tomorrow.”

I fully approve of having a threesome. I especially approve of it being done on an altar. Bravo.
