It's not a CIA op or something. It's just anti-semitism.

Vatican II included a stance of not blaming jews everywhere for the death of christ and opened itself up to the ideas of other religions and science.

This ended up leading to an apology for the persecution of astronomers such as Galileo and Copernicus years later

They use the flat earth thing as a dog whistle for wanting the Catholic Church to go back to its old ways.

That's all it is. It's just trad cath fascists jerking themselves off and some dumb guys following along not realizing what they're doing.

    I never understood the whole “hating Jews because they killed Jesus” thing. Like, would Christianity even be the same if Jesus had lived for 40 more years and died peacefully in his sleep?

      It wouldn't exist, also Jesus was killed by his dad... It literally says so in the bible. He was allowed to die by God to absolve the world of sin. So God killed him, not the Jews... Which still, he was killed by the Romans?

        Yeah... But it wouldn't make sense to hate the Romans when you're marketing your religion to them.

        Exactly, it just wouldn’t make sense any other way 🤷‍♂️

      It is not okay to let fans wait for 60 years for the sequel.

    Laughing at flat earthers is fun but remember something like 40% of US Americans believe the universe is less than 10,000 years old. Sure, you can go outside and see that the earth isn't flat, but you can also look up at the night sky and the fact you can see most stars is because the universe is much older.

    Young Earth Creationism is just as silly to me as Flat Eartherism, and a lot more people actually believe it.

    The “Nazi Lies” podcast looks at lots of “harmless” conspiracy theories that in fact are just Nazi dogwhistles

    the church shouldn't have apologized to galileo and copernicus. but otherwise you're right.
