Catholic priest in Clayton Park, Nova Scotia, Canada:
"Homosexual relationships, while they may feel very normal to the people involved in them, it's not in line with what God's plan for the family is," the priest said. "It's not true love, it's not true marriage."
And people ask why we need Pride and why there is no "straight pride".
Welcome to my recently developed website designed as a philosophical and therapeutic project. I aimed to recreate and redefine my Catholic faith. However, by adding rich allegory, universal insights, and a monastic aesthetic, I ended up creating a "new" religious experience.

The fact that the Republican Party is just as willing to ban IVF as they are abortion tells me that they are about controlling womens' bodies, not protecting the lives of the unborn. Now, #Alabama women, who don't normally side with us, are revolting. The Alabama legislature is scrambling to pass a legislative fix, and "Christian" influencers who pushed such bans are getting flooded with negative comments. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/01/ivf-embryos-alabama-ruling-conservative-women/

I was surprised not to have thought of it myself but learned this week that the #Republican party's pivot to being
anti- #Abortion was the result of a #GOP strategist recommendation -
The goal was to split #Catholic folks away from the #CivilRights movement
@wjmaggos Well, it is possible to do IVF one embryo at a time; but that's not how it's normally done. You may or may not be aware that normally multiple embryos are implanted into the mother and then doctors cull them down to the one which seems to them most promising — triplets are dangerous to each other and to the mother's health after all.
The #Catholic Church, FWIW, opposes both IVF in addition to abortion.
Former nuns Gloria Branciani and Mirjam Kovac deserve credit for their courage in coming forward publicly and revealing their identities, as they tell the world about the bizarre religion-wrapped obscenities to which now-defrocked Jesuit priest Marko Rupnik subjected them.
At the heart of the abuse of vulnerable people that happens in religious groups globally: the assumption that men should have the divine right to control and use others.
"Two former nuns have called on Pope Francis to initiate an independent investigation into a once-prominent Jesuit artist-priest [Marko Rupnik] who they allege sexually abused them, including by forcing them to have threesomes and making them watch pornography so they would 'grow spiritually'."
"The reception was unlike anything he had expected. People came in droves, desperate for God. It convinced him, he said, of the weakness of the Catholic Church."
