Well said. Your writing was in the back of my mind when I wrote this. These Popes were just as bad as Hitler. People don't want to see the truth -- racism, homophobia, and hyper-masculinity are direct results of the Catholic Church.
They want to justify their righteousness but they can't without completely cutting ties with the past, condemning their actions, and moving forward.
When I read your work, I've learned so much about their ongoing attempts to persecute, ridicule, and humiliate innocent people in the LGBTQ community.
They only change when their beliefs get exposed as intolerable. They never do it for righteousness sake.
I know some people are going to really dislike this article but that's okay. I just can't turn a blind eye to the millions of people killed, dehumanized, and maimed in the name of Catholic church
Extreme religious driven white supremacy sits on the highest court of our country and I am afraid that people's denials about religion will open the door for more of us to suffer. Thanks so much for reading. I appreciate your ability to speak about these matters with clarity.
