Even Mexico has figured out the Catholic church is out of touch/outdated. I wonder if all the cartel bosses are sick of dealing with baby mammas ?

[The AD]

At this point in the U.S. I don't think it's primarily catholics who are driving the anti-abortion agenda.

[ghwbuush]

Th current pope is a jesuit and very progressive for a catholic.

[rideit]

I Can only imagine the cognitive dissonance…

“Mexicans are going back to Mexico! Yay!”
“All abortions are sins!”
Wait…

Most sensible people see abortion as a medical procedure not a morality play.
The people pushing this want to increase the population among poor people in the US and they know cutting access to abortion will do the trick.

Mexico is 72% lawless.

Too bad it's all controlled by the old geezer cardinals. WTF do old celibate geezers that have never had any real life headaches know ?

If history is any indicator: not much.

Oh heck... abortion is legal in Ireland and they are 69% Catholic (faith has been falling off in the last decade)

Th current pope is a jesuit and very progressive for a catholic.

Jesuits rock. My Catholic education was all Jesuit. Not that I'm a practicing Catholic anymore but I was for almost 50 years before I turned Athiest.

You know we are going in the wrong direction when both Ireland and Mexico have changed course on abortion

Jesuits are kinda rapey too but their hs usually kick academic and athletic ass

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most people in positions of power with little or no oversight are kinda rapey.


Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.

Imagine what would happen if you had to be celibate and suppress basic human urges..... then put you in a position of power....

All the evangelical youth pastor rapists/sex pests are not celibate by mandate yet being an evangelical youth pastor is still the number one signal someone is a rapist/sex pest.

If they were the percentage of freaks would be higher, much much higher. At least they CAN have a wife to bang occasionally. Maybe there would be a few more Americans willing to become priests if they could be married and have kids.... Going to mass and needing a translator or use a CC screen can be be a PITA.

The people pushing this want to be able to demonize THE DEMS as:

Godless
Baby killers
Want late term abortion on demand
Most blacks use it as a contraception method

And the deplorables lap it up

Not that many priests are actually celibate.

the catholic church has had probelems getting anyone to enter the priesthood so they have had to go foreign

Oh heck...

I was for almost 50 years before I turned Athiest.

You're over 50? I've always pictured you as a wise beyond your years 30 something I guess I did paint that picture in my mind a few years ago...

Jesuits rock. My Catholic education was all Jesuit. Not that I'm a practicing Catholic anymore but I was for almost 50 years before I turned Athiest.

First RC's in my family got here in 1672. When asked if I'm a practicing Catholic in church on Sunday, the reply is "Don't go to church. I practiced for over 70 years and have it down.

FWIW, We Catholics are just as divided as Americans are on politics. Our liberal Pope has said that he's ok with listening to the conservatives ...... except they think they are always right.

Wait a second. Aren't those same people anti-immigration (or anti-illegal-immigration)? Seems counter intuitive does it not?
