You have to print out your profile every week and hand it to the priest, who then hands you a list of increasingly odious penance tasks to complete before you're allowed to delete them.
Who's to say who's God is right? And suggesting that cps should be called on me because my daughter can make up her own mind.. no wonder I left catholicism..
actually I bet she left it because it's a polytheistic morass of evil that not only protects but actively rewards child molesters and nun rapists, to say nothing of the incredible violence and brutality it's done across centuries on almost every part of the earth
Catholicism breeds this sense of blind devotion to patriarchal authority. It’s one of the many reasons why it got by on its sexual abuse for decades (if not centuries).
Main issue was the town was very religious, so I'd get introduced to religious concepts at school from other kids and that would make me anxious about angering some god.
I ended up finding a lot of comfort in the wisdom of the Buddha! Just having a place to find answers to human questions really grounded me back to reality. 😁
