US Catholicism is about learning shame as a child. You memorize some prayers, go through the motions, get through Communion and Confirmation, then you're free to be agnostic or atheist or whatever.
Then you go to Christmas and Easter mass because you get to listen to some good music, shake hands with some folks, and eat a disgusting bread wafer that dissolves in your mouth
white supremacist catholic convert freaks will never understand this

the one throughline of the New Testament is Jesus fucking despises guys like JD Vance

In all seriousness, I'm sick of these jerkoffs trying to add their fanfic to the New Testament
You wanna go there? You wanna add the Gospel of Thomas?
Nah, you don't wanna do that because you gotta deal with a couple women as disciples
Jason Lefkowitzjalefkowit@hachyderm.ioOct 11, 2026, 3:21 AM@healyn The main benefit to me of having one Catholic and one Jewish parent was getting to explore guilt from basically every possible angle

@jalefkowit I've always respected you, Jason, because you are constantly ashamed of yourself
AN/CRM-114flyingsaceur@ioc.exchangeOct 11, 2026, 4:39 AM@jalefkowit @healyn trying to max out my character’s guilt attribute with a Canadian Catholic mother and an American Jewish father for stacking multigenerational bonuses. Sorey!

@flyingsaceur @jalefkowit Canadians are NOT allowed to be Catholic. That's straight outta the Book Of Luke, not my call pal

@healyn @jalefkowit See, the maternal grandfather is Anglican and the mother is Québécois and raised only speaking English but Catholic. So much guilt!

@flyingsaceur @jalefkowit wow!
the good news it's all the same Christian shit, every sect is just based on some horny king who wanted to feel ok about fucking outside his marriage

@healyn @jalefkowit that’s why until the 1960s the big wedge issues for the RCC were divorce and transubstantiation, Humanae Vitae was Paul VI’s Southern Strategy
Fun fact: there are no Anglicans in the US because George III, as head of the Church of England, required all colonial priests to swear a loyalty oath. So they all decided to become Episcopals instead

@flyingsaceur @jalefkowit the transubstantiation thing has always been such a funny thing to negotiate (to me)
I've been to Episcopalian masses. It's the same shit, but like 30 minutes longer than Catholic ones
And I eat the wafer every time. Don't tell anyone

@healyn @jalefkowit they tried to downplay all that with the rebranding in the 1970s, but Catholic theology is all about making up terms in Latin and shaming you into pretending you get it. When it’s really a stretch they fall back on “it’s a mystery”

@healyn When you are too lame for even Jesus to heal you
Oct 11, 2026, 3:57 AM@healyn I'm quite sure they've never read the New Testament. It's entirely possible they've never read any book at all.

@Steve maybe a few excerpts from Leviticus

@Louisa Catholic converts will never understand this. Pathetic
