Just need to do some more lgbtq+ education and these losers will finally make it to the starting line of being "alright"
at least where i'm from originally, catholics tended to be more progressive than the average religious person, which makes sense for a place with that much history with the KKK. turns out being hated by the white supremacists makes you at least a little more amenable to marginalized people a century later.
I have a pretty low opinion of protestants, and it's not some kinda internet thing. I was born into a catholic family, and in that shitty village of a town protestants didnt acknowledge catholics as christians, except when it was convenient. I had a friend who called me out for not being "conservative" enough cuz thats what catholics were suppose to be more so than baptists apparently, but fuck that. Even in a small town we had a diverse parish, fuckin hell one of our parishoners was a transwoman.
You cant really have any pride in being a catholic, look at the history of the church, it's deeply deeply fucked up, but it still led me in a round about way to who I am today.
If the American converts make an anti-pope I will DIE for bad-pope good-pope francis. Or like, post about it. Idk yet
Ergo the need for lgbt+ education on these christ cracker crunchers
I guess I just expected it to be higher.
I was raised catholic and I thought our parish was “progressive” by religious standards. Not once did I hear any anti-gay rhetoric, which I guess is the bar for that…
I mean relative to most protestant and pseudo-christian religions in the u.s it does seem progressive, which is a nice thing and means communists could have an easier time working with catholics over protestants on certain issues. But they're still relatively on the more conservative side than the wider u.s population. Personally I think there's inroads to alliances to be made among the not do dogshit catholics, but that's just me.
