I'm a cradle catholic and I can never fully not believe in Catholicism because this shit is burned into my brain guilt wise. That said, we gotta stop this shit. It's just bad for people and the marriage of capitalism with Christianity has been catastrophic for the world. From the slave trade to the genocide of the Americas to AI slop convincing people climate change isn't real or that angels will save them or that god will make them rich it's just a net negative for humanity at this point.

We've had a total of two good popes trying to address the horrors that the church has perpetuated but only when the Vatican is pretty much inconsequential politically. Our priests don't even bless flamethrowers like the Eastern Orthodox wackos.

I'm not 100% sure where I was going with this, but I'm not a fan of selling religion and really not into this proselytizing shit. Faith is supposed to be an internal journey and a challenge to rectify your own failings and cruelty to others or to feel bad for cranking off too much, not a fucking app to subscribe to.

Buddy what part of "we had a total of 2 good popes trying to address the horrors that the church has perpetuated but only when the Vatican is pretty much inconsequential politically" sounds like I'm a fan of the Catholic church and its numerous sins? Yes I'm well aware. They pretty much arbitrated the carving up of all of South America for Spain and Portugal to run their slave empires in and resulted in the deaths of million, helped the fucking Nazis with their genocide as well as hide money and war criminals flee at the end of the war, had incessant sexual abuse of kids throughout the clergy and sided the fascists. The only good part of catholicism is liberation theology and even that is fucking slim pickens compared to everything else the church got up to.

Not sure what you're going for here?
