The Catholic Church Should Burn

[WolfEyes]

When I am not around anything that runs off electricity, including powerlines, my tinnitus starts going away. I've had to live with the constant loud noise for more than 50 years now. How I've managed to stay relatively sane is a mystery.

I might be down for "Civilization Should Burn," except that I'm part of it.

Civilization is okay... despite the political / capitalistic problems it's worth it for:
central air / indoor plumbing / money / food / electronics / books / parks / ....

Should we start a new thread titled "The Anglican Church Should Burn?"

Anglican is basically Catholic Lite. It's part of the same clan.

Vatican officially now allows Italian gay men to train to be priests, if they remain celibate.

This has already been their internal policy, but now it has been made public.

It may be their "official" internal policy, but unofficially they're holding gay orgies.

I hear unofficial gay orgies are the best gay orgies.

The free jalapeno poppers is a big draw.

He said: “Having sought the permission of his majesty the king, I have today taken the decision to retire from active ministry in the Church of England.”

Another reason why I would hate being a potentate.

• The headline leaves me wondering how many accusations The Guardian thinks may have been true
• Probably worth noting that the two cases mentioned both relate to followers of traditional African religions, though the practice is apparently widespread in some West African Pentecostalist churches

Mormon church rocked by child sexual abuse allegations in California https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/08/mormon-church-child-sex-abuse-allegations-california?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky&CMP=bsky_gu

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) in the US has been rocked by a slew of sexual abuse allegations launched against it in California in the latest scandal to hit the organization that is better known as the Mormon church.

A three-year look-back legal window that allows adult survivors of sexual assault to file claims in California has produced almost 100 allegations of childhood sexual abuse by Mormon leaders.


The claims, in keeping with similar allegations against the Catholic church, the Church of Scientology, the Boy Scouts of America and other hierarchical institutions in the US, have a consistent theme: alleging that officials used their power to groom, manipulate and abuse children, and that senior leaders of the institution that either knew or should have known about the abuse did not act to halt it.

Same-sex marriage is an apostasy in the LDS church, but hey sexually abusing your own daughter can barely force the elders to have you step down from your bishopric.
