Pope Francis condemned the "very strong, organised, reactionary attitude" in the US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.

Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.

Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.

Hitler bent the knee to the Roman Catholics. Nuff said.

I'd have a hard time believing that Hitler was super cool with the people who worship a Jew as a god.

Hitler in his table talks: "The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science ... Gradually the myths crumble. All that is left to prove that nature there is no frontier between the organic and inorganic. When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light, but worlds, perhaps inhabited worlds like ours, then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity."

Good rule of thumb is to never underestimate Hitler's ability to hate a group of people lol

Don't have a hard time believing it. Christianity has indoctrinated most into believing Jesus was white. Just look at all these southern baptist molesters that want Trump as their new god.

I'm sorry, I'm genuinely not sure I understand your comment. Are you saying that because you believe Christian propaganda to be that powerful, you're ready to believe that Hitler also fell for the same propaganda? I get why you're ready to make that assumption, but I don't think choosing to believe an assumption made out of heavy bias is appropriate in the face of evidence directly to the contrary. Hitler outright condemned the belief more than once

[–] ineedaunion@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

I didn't say that at all. I'm saying Christianity isn't about God. It's about power, slavery, money, pedophilia. Same as with the elite now. Hitler was just a part of it. It's all a big club.

Hitler also loved dogs. So not sure there's anything to that.

And the Catholics were cool with him.

Look at how much hate we're getting. All of my posts about corporatism and GOP spouting nonsense getting blasted. This place is another spot for GOP, facism and the church to have a voice in the form of bots.
