No, no. Catholics have no need to kidnap children. Lots of misguided parents bring their children straight to them every week!

All the way down

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's why they're advertising the non-kidnapping. The last thing a pedo wants is Catholic sloppy seconds.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’d rather the kidnappers.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

At least they have free candy.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, real candy. None of this “body of Christ” bullshit.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

The cake is a lie!

[–] texture@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

so ... worse than just a regular kidnapping van then.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

yes, and then last week he made Orban lose the elections 😁

next, send jd Vance to Putin for a meeting :)

Bible doesn't say anything about furniture.

[–] TrollTrollrolllol@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Jesus was a carpenter after all.

Bet you could haul quite the "love seat" in that van.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So tone-deaf, I imagine this could be a joke. But, I suppose they really could be this deeply unaware of their reputation, or just as deeply in denial.

The complete disconnect between how they see themselves and how the rest of the world sees them is astonishing. I suppose that's what is needed to remain a believer.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

What they are trying to convey is that Catholics don't genuinely use birth control so they tend to have huge families so they need a big ass van. They also live in denial and refuse to accept that their religion is fucked up so I can see how they wouldn't get how this is a fucked up thing to put on their "not a pedo van"

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 2 months ago

Or the assumption that you are a good perdon because you got tricked into a cult

[–] heartpunk25@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Omg my church as a kid had vans like this! Everyone made fun of it.

[–] jasoman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

More of a warning then a joke.

[–] heartpunk25@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

def how it feels knowing all the abuse Catholic presists have done

[–] heartpunk25@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Also, one of my friends was sexually abused by someone in her church when she was a kid. I didn't learn about it until we were adults.

Yes, it was the steeple formed by their hands when kids did the "this is the church and this is the steeple" thing with their grandparents.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Exactly something a kidnapper would put on a big, white van.

[–] FaygoRedPop@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The van doth protest too much, methinks.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Will now I don't want to get in.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

You just know the Spanish Inquisition are in this van. Waiting.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Catholics, Mormon, or quiverfull?

Regardless. I am unlikely to find much in common.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

Catholics, Mormon, or quiverfull?

Still pedos, all three.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ummm same torn ashenhamer though
