The Catholic subreddits were filled with bile filled people praising Trump and wringing their hands at othering the queer community. Honestly one of the worst places I saw when I was on reddit.
Yeah thatβs not surprising. Catholicism has gotten quite a few converts by being the conservative religion with aesthetic in America in the 21st century.
Itβs definitely not the religion of the Jesuits who taught me as a teenager that however god made you is good and that learning more about the world is a holy act anymore
Religious conservatives are a breed apart that is for sure ...
Yup. They would nakba the fuck out of everyone here on Lemmy given the slightest opportunity. They're dangerous af.
For most Catholics, abortion is the only issue that exists, so that's not surprising.
