    Ahh yes, the Roman Catholic Church.

    Well known ally of Planned Parenthood, the LGBT community, and Communism.

      I think the idea is that any bishop that supports Biden is therefore not a real Catholic. That website is a different headspace. I think it's reactionary American Catholics who hate Pope Francis. Check this shit out:

          Right? These people apparently believe that Pope Francis is trying to spread Marxism in partnership with China. Based Pope Francis, who knew?

    It's fucking mind boggling that abortion is still a successful issue.

    My parents are severely in debt because they could only stay afloat with overtime, which stopped when Covid hit. They are voting Trump because "Who cares about our struggle when there are babies being harvested legally? They'll get to us once they finally ban abortion!"

      This may or may not apply to your parents, but I have found that a LOT of folks who claim to really care about abortion really only use it as a way to avoid discussing the fact that they like a lot of what Trump or the GOP does but they know deep down it's evil.

      For example, I know people who think locking up migrants and separating families is good. But they also know this makes them look like monsters. So whenever you press them on this, they will say "yeah but abortion kills MILLIONS every year!!!" But they don't actually care that much about abortion, they just want to deflect and shut down your objections to their other horrible views.

    What is the middle symbol on the stick supposed to be? I don't immediately recognise it?

    Funny that they think even the most liberal catholic clergy members are ok with abortion (they are not).

      Well, the Pope recently denounced capitalism and previously said "it is the communists who think like Christians" so there is at least some shift happening on the last one, not that I expect a lot of "catholics" to actually pay attention to that.

        Depends on if your Catholics are in the US or not, really.

        "When the church hears the cry of the oppressed it cannot but denounce the social structures that give rise to and perpetuate the misery from which the cry arises."- Saint Oscar Romero

        "As we see it, a perhaps faulty presentation of the Christian message may have given the impression that religion is indeed the opiate of the people. And we would be guilty of betraying the cause of Peru's development, if we did not stress the fact that the doctrinal riches of the Gospel contain a revolutionary thrust." Bishops' Council of Peru.

        "The liberation of our continent means more than overcoming economic, social, and political dependence. It means, in a deeper sense, to see the becoming of mankind as a process of the emancipation of man in history. It is to see man in search of a qualitatively different society in which he will be free from all servitude, in which he will be the artisan of his own destiny."

    I had no idea that protestant dumbfucks think that Catholics are gay communists that do abortions. I wish it were so.
