Pope says 'backward' US conservatives replaced faith with ideology - Lemmy.world
Pope Francis condemned the “very strong, organised, reactionary attitude” in the
US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time. Pope Francis
has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church,
saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding
of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time. Francis’ comments were an
acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split
between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire
papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion
and same-sex marriage.
Religion is the biggest scourge against humans. Controlling behavior, brainwashing the young and stolen untold trillions of $$. Fuck religion. They all need to be labeled as cults and treated as harshly.
And yet a lot of people are still religious so if you’re running around suggesting destroying the thing they love and feel positive about you might find they are unwilling to listen to anything you have to say. Right now I really would rather we focus on collective action over the climate than worry about whose version of faith is correct.
When this sorry undeserving species is all dead. Alien archaeologists will learn how religion was the biggest, most successful device used by the powerful to appease the poor and keep their interests driving everything (including destroying the habitability of the planet for short term luxury), from the early civilizations until the very end. Then they will find your comment on an HDD and fucking laugh at you, at all of our stupid asses.
