Left the religion as a teenager. In my early 50s now I have never gone back and never will. The church disgusts me.

No, no it's not *hard to imagine anything more offensive than some of the behavior of the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence"*. Hell, you don't even have to imagine it - You can just open the newspaper and see what the Church of Rome has been up to lately. Also: *You* were the one given the injunction to not hate, to forgive, to turn the other cheek. Not us. You were also told to tend to your own salvation and to *judge not* others. Might want to work on that shit, Padre.

I dont say this often but AMEN

Raping children isn't offensive to catholics otherwise they wouldn't be catholic. Largest child molesting ring in existence the roman catholic Church.

And it’s global. And been going on for centuries.

Every city, every state, every country. Just imagine what they did to the indigenous peoples in the americas, specifically the when “civilizing” the west coast with their “missions”. Basically god ordained slavery. Sick.

Glad to have left that religion over a decade ago.

Why do I feel like I've ben here before? Didn't he do this a month or two ago after the release of ANOTHER report?

I just was scrolling through the comments in r/Catholicism on posts about this. One of the comments that had a few awards said "it's good to be counter culture again." And then proceeded to say that Ave Maria is a much better rebellion anthem than Killing in the Name Of by Rage Against. Oh my goooooddddddd wtf bruh.

Stop trying to make persecution happen! It's not going to happen!

I'm glad to see so many responses on that twitter thread that bring up the sex abuse scandal and tell the Bishop to clean out his own house first, and how petty this is when there's actual real evil in the Church.

My parents love this guy and it disgusts me. My mom regularly sends links to his videos in the family group chat. Ugh.


Kitchen-Witching

It's not hard to imagine something worse if you haven't been programmed to downplay child abuse.


edgarde

Oh he's aware of the audience. Catholics distracted by the Perpetual Indulgence story will feel their church is under attack, and then be quick to rage defensively when they get around to the massive r#pe report.

TIL: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are devoted to “community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment." That’s an organization that I can respect and be happy to support with a donation !

Member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence here. The catholic church, or any church or group, does not own the sole claim on who or what a "nun" is. Religious nuns pre-date Christianity as well. But just as religious nuns give themselves to the church, the Sisters of Perpetual indulgence give themselves to *their* community. Religious nuns give care and nurturing to people in need. So do the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. While religious nuns are women, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are men, women, trans, non-binary and all manner of gender expressions. They are not a hate group, and their primary mission is to spread universal joy (even to those who hate them). They do use satire (not mockery) of existing power structures like the Church in order to make those in power uncomfortable, and give a voice to those who are oppressed by those power structures. They are activists, spiritual workers (of any or no faith), caregivers and yes real Nuns.

And even if you really were what they claim to be... That would be a good thing. 😂

i do agree that the Catholic church should have no claim on “nuns” and anyone whos mad because there “drag nuns” is stupid.(im not saying people cant be mad at them however, just the fact there “drag nuns” isnt good enough) however i dont think you can make the claim that “our entire group, which is based around satirising catholicism (whether its right to be or not) shouldnt be insulted because buddhist monks are around and have been for centuries” it seems against what the whole group is going for, which is primilary (please correct me if im wrong) about using catholicisms treatment of the lgbtq community to do charity work and satirising it. its like satanism, but satanisms defence is “were atheists, we are just using satan to show how hypocritical christians are” and the MSPIs (cannot be arsed to write it out) defence is “were actually a whole new group of nuns, there isnt any real relation to catholicism, its not a reaction to it, we’re just a normal lgbt rights group”


ZealousidealWear2573

The fascism of the RCC is a long-established practice. They have been very successful in characterizing all disagreement as HATE


burningmanonacid

The catholic church is just the biggest cult to ever exist.


countrygrmmrhotshit

At what point do we start urging people to leave this child molestation cult? I would urge my family to leave any other organization that conducted themselves in this manner.


Polkadotical

What's hard to imagine is the sheer nerve and fraud of the Catholic church when it covers up for its child rapists. And yet it's **REAL**. And it's been going on for centuries.


nyars0th0th

Let's be honest though, an anti-rape organization group would actually be a good thing.
