Is lemmy hooked up to the algorithm? I just saw this post 2 minutes after first hearing that term “third spaces” on Spotify

I did the DB Cooper jump

What is that?

My issue with these “progressive” christian takes that hateful, controlling christianity is a recent phenomena, is that christianity has been hateful and controlling for all of its existence.

Its just denial.

Ah, and by the way, saying that the decline of the Catholic Church is a good thing does not make you much different from the more extreme Christians you criticize. Both positions ultimately celebrate the weakening of a group.

I am just happy that an organization that have decided life and death for people, cultures and religions for centuries is in decline. Hilariously, it happens due to the absolute choke hold it has had on the world, being lifted. As soon as it has fewer privileges or power, it is sent into a spiral of disappearing members.

The Catholic Church generally doesn’t care whether you personally obey its teachings

The CC is HUGELY influential in many countries where it severely curbs the rights of women, LGBT and minority religions. This “liberal progressive catholicism” is only a thing in USA.

“religia” and “ecclesia”

What relevance does it have in this discussion?

Also, is the Catholic Church even the giant boogeyman you’re making it out to be?

I am not sure what boogeyman i am making them out to be. But think my assesment of their hypocrisy is accurate.

Christianity has been declining across much of the Western world for years, especially the Catholic Church.

Good.

What’s more interesting, however, is your selective outrage.

Why are you bringing up islam? I don’t think islam is good either. All religions that seek to bring everyone under their banner are bad.

Are you Catholic since you are so addement about defending them?

I am not a massive, global, wealthy organization morally browbeating the rest of the world. The Catholic Church is.

And how many acres of monasteries and churches don’t they own? Let refugees live there. It’s only fair if they tell secular institutions to give them living spaces.

C’mon.

Start WW3.

JUST DON’T TALK ABOUT IT.

Honest question: what kind of outreach does the Catholic church do to migrants in Europe?

Aren’t they closing up shop because the company that makes their animation clay is closing down? https://www.dtmovies.com/the-company-that-made-modeling-clay-for-aardman-studios-has-closed/

they were mentioned in the video

Looks like something from a horror movie.

LOL true. But you can hardly blame Eastern Europeans. It is also the area with the most support for a united EU army.

The Catholic archbishop of Washington, D.C., Cardinal Robert McElroy, on Wednesday removed a well-known priest as an exorcist of the archdiocese after he made public comments suggesting that UFO sightings were the work of demons.

The archbishop said Rossetti’s statements “linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”

“It’s my personal belief that probably many if not most of these UFO sightings are in fact demons,” Rossetti added.

They are in fact a powerful force in many countries where they lobby against the rights of women, LGBT and religious minorities.

Nah dude. You can’t expect this murder cult leader to use their pile of gold for anything. Just clap when he posts motivational quotes.

Tech titans entirely silent after countless of other individuals have warned about risks of AI, long before the pope.

Did intel of the Venezuela attack leak before it happened? To the wide public? As I recall everyone was caught completely off guard.
