#anti-catholicism

[septemberadical]

I believe feminists should be more concerned about the rise of spiritualism and magical thinking the world over. I see many feminists uncritically regurgitating ideas about the divine feminine or the essential nature of women and men, and while its tempting to connect emotionally to a female deity in opposition to a man, the logic behind spiritualism is too dangerous. Your feminist god may say one thing, but if you concede there are otherworldly forces that can communicate with humans (somehow) than you are giving credence to everybody and his brother to justify their morals through those means. A feminist deity is just as valid as a misogynistic one because there is no way to prove the existence of either or to prove one god said it and one did not, or whatever. It's all nonsense.

Rationalism and secularism are the absolute most important things to the promotion of the equal rights of women. Any appeal to a supernatural power will inevitably be less persuasive and less conclusive, then the well-reasoned logical argument that women are equal intellectually, socially, and morally to men and are deserving of an equal say and position in society due to that fact. Evolution can get a bad rap because of evolutionary psychologists and their bad studies about the 'nature' of women and men based on evolutionary 'evidence' (this evidence is often correlational and they make huge assumptions based on it), but it is far easier to disprove bad science than bad religion.

In August 1834 Boston teamsters burned down a convent full of nuns, thanks to religious prejudice and the suspicious testimony of Rebecca Reed, a lazy teenager with a grudge against the Mother Superior.

“Fiery Cross, Klan Papers, Left Before Catholic Church,” Toronto Globe. October 27, 1932. Page 4. ----- (Canadian Press Despatch.) Halifax, Oct. 26. - Literature of the Ku Klux Klan was found today scattered about the ground in front of the Roman Catholic Church at Armdale, where a fiery cross burned last night. Nothing more sensational was reported, and citizens of the Halifax suburb were joking about the absence of hooded horsemen. The cross was noticed by Father P. F. Martin, priest at Armdale, who was sitting in the Globe House, talking to several visitors. They hurried to the scene of the fire, pulled down the cross and extinguished the flames.

Israel just bombed next to a Catholic church. During Mass. On All Saints Day. This is not and never has been an issue regarding religion. This is a genocide of ALL Palestinians. They are bombing indiscriminately under the guise of fighting terrorism, when they are the real terrorists.

From behind the papist virgin with her silver shoes there creeps another woman, poor, her feet bare and calloused, her swarthy face plastered with the dust of the road. Her belly is heavy with salvation and the weight drags and makes her back ache.

#16th-century anti-catholicism yes but/and i continue to be obsessed with mantel's writerly imagination #the mirror and the light #hilary mantel #the way she writes about theology fascinates me #as well as the way she writes about history obviously #[insert quip about 16th-century English history being inseparable from Anglican wrangling] #book quotes

anyway, Pope Francis is dumb as hell, he praises Russia's anti-Catholic, barbaric history.

russians: persecute catholics and destroy their country (e.g. after they invaded poland, they closed many roman catholic churches and turned them into orthodox churches, they did not allow people to build catholic churches, they persecuted priests, they hanged many priests who were against russian occupation, Tsarina Catherine personally forbade any contact with Rome, Nicholas I closed many monasteries, churches in poland (1832), he stole their property (1842), he sent many priests to forced labour, e.g. they sent many to Siberia for hard labor, + they especially hated and persecuted greek catholics/byzantine rite catholics)

Pope Francis: what a wonderful legacy 😍

The path to peace calls for respect for life, for every human life, starting with the life of the unborn child in the mother’s womb, which cannot be suppressed or turned into an object of trafficking. In this regard, I deem deplorable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother’s material needs. A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract. Consequently, I express my hope for an effort by the international community to prohibit this practice universally. At every moment of its existence, human life must be preserved and defended; yet I note with regret, especially in the West, the continued spread of a culture of death, which in the name of a false compassion discards children, the elderly and the sick.

How to not do Politics: DUP Edition

Within the last few weeks Northern Ireland has had a constantly updating list of political drama (NI protocol drama, border poll drama, TUV gaining voters drama and concerns over NI’s covid vaccine uptake) to deal with. However, we now look back at those carefree weeks as some form of utopian dream, after this weeks political […]How to not do Politics: DUP Edition

I think one of the hardest things about discussions involving groups of people is that you start to see people as [arbitrary concept] and not as... people. You'll talk trash on people because you think that nobody in your friend group is one of *those* people.

But the kid who's struggling with their sexuality hears you when you say that gay people are going to hell.

The kid who came out on the other side of childhood trauma and abuse hears you when you use their circumstances to justify abortion, essentially implying you'd be better off dead.

The person who's trying not to self-harm in your circles and hasn't found the guts to ask for help yet hears you when you call cutters attention seekers or crazy.

People are far more than [insert group]. They're not 2D representations of a group they're a part of. They're living, human beings. Remember that when you use your words.

My favorite thing about leaving catholicism is just, wholesale rejecting the idea of a thought crime. Like, thinking a terrible thing is not, in fact, the same as doing or saying it. There is privacy in my head. I don't have to scrutinize myself anymore. I can focus on the real world.
