Damned Catholics

I don't recall that particular command of Moses to the Israelites. Sounds like abust of paraphrasing to me.

God told the isrealites exactly how much a magical abortion cost, and it was done at the temple. These people don't just have weird ass beliefs, they have weird ass beliefs about their weird ass beliefs.

Deuteronomy 30:19. Moses explicitly to the Israelites to 'choose life', but in an entirely different context.

Thanks, I was too overconfident in my Bible knowledge there.

The church is just angry because it's getting less important by the day. Why should Mamdani suffer through a boring Catholic mass that includes the installation of some asshole who is against basic human rights?

Backlash grows at New York mayor skipping Archbishop Hicks installation

Archbishop Hicks was installed on February 6 at St Patrick’s Cathedral, among 68 bishops, 13 archbishops and six cardinals, as well as 2,200 well-wishers including interfaith leaders and politicians.

However, Mamdani did not attend. In a brief post on X, he congratulated Archbishop Hicks, noting that they “share a deep and abiding commitment to the dignity of every human being” and that he looked forward to working together to create a more just and compassionate city where every New Yorker can thrive.

The absence makes Mamdani the first mayor of New York in nearly a century to miss the installation of the city’s archbishop. As far back as 1939, when the non-Catholic Fiorello La Guardia attended the installation of Archbishop Francis Spellman, mayors have attended the installations of archbishops of the city.

There have also been other noticeable incidents suggesting indifference towards the city’s 2.5 million Catholics. At his inauguration in January, no Catholic clergy or representatives were invited.

Similarly, at the annual interfaith breakfast organised by the mayor’s office, where 400 faith and community leaders gathered, no Catholic clergy or representatives were present. The breakfast opened with reflections from two Muslim representatives, continued with a reflection from the daughter of the Rev William Augustus Jones Jr, followed by speeches from Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Lutheran representatives, and another Muslim representative, before Mamdani gave his closing remarks.
