    We’ve got some cool Christians on here actually they just keep a low profile. There’s even a history of left wing activism in the church here in the US. Nuns and priests used to break in to draft offices to burn registration cards. Jessica Rezniceck is a Catholic worker.

    They don’t get a lot of press obviously bc chuds vastly outnumber them but I wouldn’t paint with so broad of a brush

      Yeah, yeah. And Oskar Schindler is listed as Righteous Among the Nations. The record of the Catholic church is still one of largely genocide and oppression. Those Catholics are still choosing to associate themselves with a deeply evil, regressive organisation.

      I don’t hate individual Catholics/members of other churches who nevertheless choose to do good, but those organisations are absolutely indefensible regardless.

        Hence the protestant reformation. Look there’s no love lost here for the Catholic church but my only point is Christians as a whole shouldn’t be dismissed outright, there’s good Christians on here.
