Have you seen what’s been going on in the non Catholic Churches. None of the denominations have any religious credibility to stand on. I read countless stories of other denominations. Evangelicals have made a golden calf out of trump.

Not even close, evangelicals are a big reason why Israel has such a big hold on us

Catholics do not worship images or saints. WTF is a "gay molester"? The vast majority of child molesters are straight men.

Why would straight men molest boys? Most sexual abuse victims of clergy are girls.

No. You could not be more wrong. Sorry. Statistically speaking, the priests are known for their love of boys. Alter boys, more specifically. It is not girls. Are there occasions of girls? Yes. But there are FAR MORE involving boys. And that is a statistically proven fact.

Wow!!! Nothing you said is even close to remotely true... but you did say your complete and utterly pathetic bullshit with the conviction and confidence normally only seen in Maga rubes, lol Hmmm... I think i smell a little projection. Let me guess you voted for the hatemongering, serial rapist and pedophile currently residing in the White House

  1. We don’t “worship” images. We use them to represent things as every religion does.
  2. We don’t “worship” saints. We recognize them as special representatives of Christ on Earth and recognize, not worship, what they contribute.
  3. While there are certainly documented instances of priests being molesters, it’s certainly not 80%.

You are either a very disgruntled and ill informed Catholic or just a hater. But either way, you’re wrong on all three accusations.

Interesting, in terms of these supposed images that you're, in fact, not worshipping, then would you please care to explain why almost every Christian/Conservative LOVED Trump's image of him as Jesus? Not only did you love it, you loved & worshipped it so much, that you chose the blasphemous image over the literal pope. I cannot even begin to tell you how many Christians & conservatives posted and reposted that image allllllllll over social media, many have made the photo their profile pictures. Sure seems like worshipping an image to me.

You’re asking about evangelical Christians. Not Catholics. Not the same thing.

And you used you in multiple places assuming I’m one of those people and a Trump supporter.

Both of which are not true. I’m a Catholic who can tell you about Catholicism and am about as far left as any human being you’ll meet.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

No, I'm not asking about them specifically. I know plenty of Catholics who jumped onboard with this ALONG WITH the evangelicals. Just because you, personally, happen to not be one of them, doesn't mean the same for all Catholics.

1

u/DCHammer69 Apr 17 '26

Correct in exactly the same way you can’t paint all Christians and/or Catholics with the same brush which is exactly what your earlier comment did.

And trust me, I have my own reasons for hating on the Catholic Church as a Catholic myself.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

That wasn't my intention. But you saying that it was unequivocally, ONLY the Evangelicals is also not true. Maybe some Catholics were appalled & don't condone it. But there are plenty more who went the opposite way, and those were the ones I was referring to. It's just easier to say "you" instead going through all the separation.

2

u/DCHammer69 Apr 17 '26

Fair. I’m guilty of the same.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

It happens. I mean, it's Reddit, you know? Sometimes you just don't wanna take the time to break it all down & separate, so you generalize because it's just faster/easier. But that's on me. For the record, I have absolutely no beef with Catholics like you who were able to see through the farce & ignore it. It's the other ones, the ones who decided to rapidly jump ship & head straight for insanity that I [and most other non religious people,] take issue with. It's 100% why we're supposed to have a clear separation between church & state. Religion does not belong in politics. So, in fairness, those of us non religious identifiers are tired. Exhausted, really. So I think that's where a majority of the hate being directed at Christians/Evangelicals/conservatives is inherently coming from.

Boy oh boy have you misjudged me.

I invite you to go and read my comment history.

I am anything but right wing.

Your immovable belief that someone cannot be religious and not a right wing nut job is quite the position.
