As an ex-Catholic, I would like to say, fuck the Catholic church. For this bullshit and their many other crimes, moral failings and abuse.
Joke's on Diana — kids getting knocked up is exactly what the church wants.
Sounds like a factory that produces mentally ill people
Yes have you not heard of Catholicism before?
You think that's something you need to visit the south.
Jesus is coming to take them away on his spaceship just before he nukes the jews, atheists, catholics, and all other non-Christians any day now.
Not just the non-Christians, the wrong Christians as well.
I don't think ignorance is a mental illness
I went to an all-boys Catholic highschool. I had a teacher that was a Christian Brother. One day he had an argument with a classmate over how effective condoms were. He basically argued that condoms don't work. (Even arguing that a Ziploc bag couldn't keep semen from escaping.)
This teacher was pretty popular because he was a character, who'd sometimes make crude jokes.
After graduating, some friends and a I ran into him at a mall. He asked us "What are you guys up to? Picking up little girls?"
We laughed it off thinking he was still his same old jovial self.
Not long after, I heard that this same teacher had been arrested for being involved with minors. His "joke" that day seemed like some major projection.
even for crude humor that's just gross.
I grew up with religious parents. Looking back, they restricted me from doing things, even innocuous, without explicitly stating we to why. But I know that it's because they are afraid I "might get ideas". Fortunately, I have been to good schools and got taught about basic sex education. Ironically, my parents sending me to good school taught me better than being "taught" by my parents who don't want me to "get bad ideas".
I wonder how she thought she'd get pregnant.
For many religious groups it's common for teens and even young adults to not have a clue where babies come from. The biological urge to have sex is still there. So teens experiment around and figure it out but often don't understand the consequences.
Teens are going to have sex whether you teach them anything about or not. Comprehensive sex ed reduces teen birthrates and STD transmission. It also delays the age when they initiate sex.
You'd think knowledge of where babies come from would be the worst kept secret ever, but here we are.
I understand, but it's the "It made no sense to Zalazar", which seem to imply that she thought she knew how she could get pregnant.
Maybe she was taught the "when mommy and daddy really love each other" way of getting pregnant.
I learned abstinence only bullshit in school. Many pregnant teenagers in high school

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
