It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Add it to the huge list of examples of American Catholics being Protestants with extra gold.

These same people loose their shit if you read them catholic social teaching and that it counts as a mortal sin to be agaisnt preferential treatment for the poor.

I was raised catholic in a super liberal church in a super liberal city, i am not at all religious as an adult but whenever i see the unhinged shit that conservative american catholics get up to i can't even imagine what sort of stuff goes on at their masses that results in them squaring that with catholic social teachings. Of course the archbishop did transfer our super cool priest from Kenya to a racist white suburban church (but i repeat myself) as punishment for refusing to allow signature-gathering to overturn same-sex marriage in Washington at the church so i actually can easily imagine it lol

The answer is: they don’t know it exist. I had to explain to a bunch of Catholics what shit like the Misericordia et misera and other pro life edicts from the pope says about being pro life (ie anti war, anti death penalty, pro preferential treatment for poor) and they always accuse me of lying.

Orthodox Church still 🔛🔝☦️

They, along with Oriental Orthodoxy, are the only christian sect that seem to make any sense to me. Papism and Sole Fide just seem completely farcical.

The crucifixion makes a lot more sense with the harrowing of Hell, which is de-emphasized in Catholicism and Lutheranism and straight up rejected in Evangelicalism.

I get that no one's forcing anyone to be Catholic (at least nowadays) but I want these converts to stay so I can watch a schism. joker-dancing

It's funny they make fun of Sedevacantism becuase that is literally what they want, you still do all the Catholic bullshit within the existing hierarchy but you just have a personal belief that the Pope is illegitimate and you don't have to listen to him.

But no one wants to claim they are a Sedevacantist becuase they are all annoying and disruptive but are too lazy to set up their own church and keep going to Catholic masses.
