Ignoring the whole IQ dipfuckery because IQ is bullshit, can I just say that I fucking resent JD Vance because he makes me confront the fact that I do, in fact, still have strong feelings on Catholic theology, those feelings mostly being YOU FUCKING HERETIC

The Vice President of the United States is trashing some random professor over his imagined IQ score, all while revealing himself to be the sort of dude who reads fundamentalist Catholic homeschooling blogs instead of, say, the Pauline epistles.

These people hold the Bible as a supreme authority, but only the parts that they can interpret to say "hurt people." None of the hippie stuff.
Not only is it against papal doctrine, it's against the standard bible but ALSO against basically everything (okay, most stuff) from council of Trent!
To get there you have to REALLY want it.
WITH JERK CHICKEN SPICES
HELL ITSELF WILL SPIT HIM OUT
I'm sure somewhere in the commentary is the proviso that if someone in power repeatedly violates this basic principle, it is more than ok to hitch-kick them in the 'nads repeatedly
ACTUALLY HE SAID TO DUMP YOUR WHOLE FAMILY AND FOLLOW HIM
STOP GETTING YOUR INFO ABOUT CATHOLICISM FROM MISOGYNY REDDITS AND GO TO MASS
The instructions from the deacon, who Knew My Bullshit, were "don't scare the other kids" as I did my readings
Grandfather was a very practical man.)
(And then I got an Episcopalian for a Confirmation sponsor and didn't tell anyone)
Eventually I start frothing about Prosperity Gospel and need to go get a snack and a soft blanket.
While not all fauxthordox Catholics are adult converts, all adult converts I’ve met are, well…
That's NOT how we're all built, but it must be right!
(Cruelty is a worse deforming of character vice than hypocrisy, even if both suck)
signed, TA who yelled at pre-seminary students in Greek class not to read the translations out of their interlinear Bibles, but to actually do the work
But if I don't want students to use them in my class, how on earth would I know which ones were better than any other ones? Why ask me? I am the last person who would know.
1) a lifelong obsession with plaid skirts and shiny shoes
2) a firm belief that that jesus guy was onto something, even if the rest was bullshit
As a cis het (?) white male w his job title, he's virtually at the top. Only trump can exceed him. Everyone else is beneath him.
It's part of his job to make sure the hierarchy stands firm.
Essentially he lacks empathy
Pre-Papacy, his nickname was Josef 'Panzerkardinal' Ratzinger in the church hierachy (no, really!) 😆
The Spanish Inquisition?!
No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition!
which includes things like "loving your neighbor" before
"loving your family"; as Jesus says "even the pagans do love their families", as well as talking about who your neighbor is.
Heretics!
Paul was kinda of a nut

because they need an antichrist for their bullshit prophecies to come true
Every time some right-wing nutter wheels out some (inevitably Christian) religious argument, I quietly chant "church & state, church & state", then remember the Scopes Monkey Trials, not that long ago 😔
There’s a part of me that wants to go back and finish confirmation now because JFC, that man has no right to be so consistently and loudly wrong about the faith I consciously walked away from and I will defend it like I would defend a detested younger sibling from a bully.
Also sociopathy gaslight and blame everyone else for what you are - he does it every day watch him. So does donny donoright
Imagining his endless torment in fire is ok, but I kind of miss the religious certainty of his final throne of god judgment, then damnation🔥
