@CuriousMrFox101 @EndWokeness Dems put an innocent man in jail and rioted for a year over George Floyd’s overdose. You can’t lecture about weaponizing tragedy.

@EndWokeness This is a classic case of #MAGA grifters weaponizing tragedy. The Providence mural for Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was bankrolled by Elon Musk for a million bucks to smear blue cities with culture war smear tactics. Rep. Morales nailed it as right wing propaganda.

The Catholic moral teaching on sex has never changed. Sex outside of marriage is a sin. Period. Furthermore, divorce, contraception, abortion are also sins. None of that has ever changed. Much of Protestantism argues that none of those things are absolute. Easy answer. N

Rome2Reformed@rickbrennanjr·
A common critique made by Roman Catholic apologists online —recently echoed by @metathomist— is that Protestant objections to Rome are often driven by a desire for fewer moral constraints, particularly in the area of sexual ethics. But what do the actual statistics reveal? According to Pew Research, 62% of Catholics say casual sex is sometimes or always acceptable, compared to 45% of Protestants overall and just 36% of evangelicals. That alone complicates the narrative. If we are measuring moral permissiveness by attitudes toward casual sex, Roman Catholics (on average) are more permissive than Protestants, and significantly more than evangelicals. But the most revealing category is not denomination, it is those who actively practice their faith tradition: •Among those who attend religious services monthly or more, only 35% say casual sex is acceptable. •Among those who attend less than monthly, that number jumps to 75%. In other words, the real divide is not Protestant vs. Catholic. It is practicing vs. non-practicing. That said, even within that framework, the data still speaks loudly: •Evangelicals (36%) are the least permissive; •Protestants overall (45%) fall in the middle; •Catholics (62%) are the most permissive among the three So the claim that Protestant theology leads to greater sexual license simply does not hold up under scrutiny. If anything, the data suggests the opposite.

@rickbrennanjr @metathomist It’s got nothing to do with what most Catholics say in a poll. It’s about doctrine. Catholic doctrine on sex has never changed.

@SymeisThursday @vanucci_jimmy @HansMahncke @elonmusk You're an emoji. Trump's people got convicted and went to jail, but the conman pardoned them or stopped the investigation. Mueller found evidence of Trump's interference in the investigation, but, because Trump became President, wasn't allowed to pursue it any further.

Hans Mahncke@HansMahncke·
One of the biggest problems in society today is that we no longer share a common set of basic facts. Without that, you cannot have a healthy discourse, or really any discourse at all. Too many people either do not know basic facts or have been led to believe things that simply are not true. In real life, almost no one knows that the Russia collusion plot was cooked up by the Clinton campaign, or that there is a transcript proving Flynn did not lie, or that the Ukraine impeachment scam began the morning after Mueller’s train wreck testimony because they needed a new hoax, or that Fauci demonstrably sent money and technology to the Wuhan lab for them to create deadly coronaviruses. The list goes on and on. And yet, in polite society, you are still treated like a crank for knowing these things rather than repeating the approved version of events. That is a very big problem. So until there is at least some agreement on basic, provable facts, there is no real point in debating anything. If the inputs are garbage, the outputs will be too.

Too young to vote at 18. Too young to drink at 21. Too young to sign a lease at 25. But somehow fully capable of consenting to childbirth at 12? The law doesn't protect children. It protects patriarchy.

Empirically speaking: The movement from Catholic --> Protestant is way larger than the opposite direction. In the 1970s: 8% of Catholics became Protestants 3% of Protestants became Catholic. In the 2020s: 12% of Catholics -> Protestants 3% of Protestants -> Catholic

@SymeisThursday @vanucci_jimmy @HansMahncke @elonmusk You didn't answer the question. Do you have any original thoughts? Russian Collusion obviously happened through Wikileaks most of all. You are simply one of the ignorant selfish Americans who were easily manipulated to not even believe their own eyes.

@TheCatholicEngr As a convert from evangelicalism, I was surprised to find 10x more Holy Scripture being read during Mass than any preacher centric church I ever experienced. How do Catholics read and recite all that scripture week after week and not learn anything?

I'm sorry but all the lukewarm Catholics who claim "the church never taught us this" about any Catholic teaching gives the same energy as people saying "schools never taught us personal finance" It taught you addition and subtraction, that's all you need to stay out of debt. If you want to invest, that's your responsibility to look up the best strategy Likewise, the church gave you the 10 commandments and the sacraments. That's all you need to stay out of hell. If you want to get deeper into theology and typology, that's your responsibility.

It only goes "against man's desires" to the degree it imposes standards & mores as means of costly signaling & credibility enhancing displays, which is precisely how humans have always structured power, values & boundaries within social groups. This isn't special.

Makes sense. We Latter-day Saints are very much Reagan-style conservatives, so our attachment to the Republican Party has understandably tempered at the same rate the Republican Party has slowly abandoned conservatism and replaced it with populism, which looks an awful lot like the kind of political phenomenon that drove us out of Ohio, out Missouri, and out of Illinois in our early history.

Whoa. The Republican advantage among Mormons has dropped nearly 20 points over the past two decades.
