(FYI I'm a confirmed, happily life-long-lapsed catholic as a legal adult, so ban me if you want, but this isn't just some rando agnostic rant. I'm not the type to make a habit of trolling. it's just, your organization sucks, and it's sad there's so many of you, and it's sad you choose to clog up our limited server space with your junk, but hey, do your thing, I'm not here to say you shouldn't be here, I'm just saddened that you catholics exist at all anymore!)

I mean, I don't really care to have an answer as to why they care- that's not really the point of my post. if you know why they care and you agree, then, wow! it's ok you and your generation will all be dead eventually, and the window will shift slowly but surely away from your nonsense as it has for a while now

i wonder how much more time you would have for living like jesus- how much more time you could and would spend helping feed the hungry and housing the homeless, comforting the sick-

i wonder how much more time you would spend doing what you claim is the most important thing in life if you didn't spend so much time worrying about if other people are being good catholics, and dictating with legislation if other people have to act like good catholics, rather than living by example which - i'm pretty sure - is how you're supposed to act as a catholic, not by dictating to others that they MUST do the right thing or else they're a criminal

yikes

anyway, happy solstice, transphobes! your bishops could be like 'make sure you spend extra time this cold holiday season helping the less fortunate among you who need food and shelter, and instead their organization is using its voice to... i dunno, you tell me if spending your holidays gathering signatures for a ballot initiative that dictates biological gender standards for children's sports competitions sound like radical, unconditional love

does it sound like jesus to teach children to worry about who is better than the others at arbitrary competition? i'll go ahead- nope, sure doesn't! sure sounds like that's just a whole lot of completely inconsequential bullshit compared to oh i dunno people starving, or hey how about starving children? sorry starving children of washington state! these awesome catholics chose to spend some time worrying about dictating who you compete against in shit that totally doesnt matter, instead of using the might and obscene wealth of their organization to systematically make sure every single one of you was well fed. theyre out here latching onto (the wrong side if you consider what they claim to believe) a political wedge issue (as if it benefits them when the population is divided), using their platform as champions of love to help some republican party hacks steal elections with manufactured outrage

y'all are just so embarrassing and somehow you go along like you don't even know it

also to the 'oh but im not transphobic-' nope, shut up. you give this organization money? the catholic church? you're part of the problem, you're supporting them. and if you're not actively changing their stance, then you're condoning it, plain and simple!

('peace and grace' my ass, you rabble rouser)

EVERYONE ENJOY THE LONGER DAYS!
