Until Douthat starts writing his columns in Latin, I will have to question how committed he is to his faith.

auritech.bsky.social•27 days ago

every time i see his name, i want to think it's pronounced "do that" or "doot hat"

truebleu.bsky.social•27 days ago

Dough hat

The only good DEI is Opus Dei.

algoresmilkymams.bsky.social•26 days ago

in this ohio diner, opus dei still means rupaul made a visit to bloom county, but they do know this: integralism will be the start of an american rebirth domestically & overseas.

Joe Biden has caused thousands of Americans to lose their federal government jobs by not winning the 2024 election. This is why Americans think this economy is terrible.

The obscure elements of Catholic theology I can recall from school tell me that Pope Francis deserves to be executed.

algoresmilkymams.bsky.social•26 days ago

except, he didn't go to catholic school. he grew up episcopalian & converted in his teens to pentecostalism, & only later to catholicism.
tom cruise, who almost joined the priesthood, before moving to hollywood & going clear, has a greater claim to romanist authority than ross.

you got the name wrong, it's Duncehat

My goodness, are we posilutely sure this is satire? Is it possible that it's no longer possible to tell the difference bewteen Douthat and satire? Is a bear Catholic? People are asking.

Is it time for a conclave at the NY Times editorial board?

algoresmilkymams.bsky.social•26 days ago

except this time, rather than securing the oped papacy, the intersex candidate gets disemboweled by their rivals.

Like all professional haver's of opinion who've converted to Catholicism his faith is political and transactional. It's also often a pretty damn queer in the general sense sort of Catholicism. With a young boys longing for order which is why I call them Roman Catholic Boy Fascists.

Astute assessment.

If you're not following Vatican II: Devotion to the poor, the sick and oppressed.
Then you need to be excommunicated from the church.
This isn't first time Republicans targeted Catholics.
Reagan's Central American Death Squads targeted priests and nuns.

I agree. Unfortunately a large part of the public ascribes to the perspective of EWTN Global Catholic TV Network (the Faux news of Catholic tv). 24/7 bs rightwing programming and literature that doesn’t even square with the Pope’s edicts.

infosecgoon.bsky.social•26 days ago

These tradcath weirdos are sure that they know more than the Pope.

truebleu.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yep. Propagandized.

"Why Hollywood should consider a Black Superman franchise as Democrats' best hope to check Donald Trump's power."

saltxnw.bsky.social•27 days ago

Sadly, these are all plausible Douthat pitches.

williamfergie.bsky.social•25 days ago

LOL !

stonemom.bsky.social•27 days ago

Ain't this the truth? Although, to be fair, it's a rare day that I actually look at Douthat's column - I just go for the comments which tell me now moronic he has been in any particular column.
