Well can we all at least put down our differences and agree with each other that regardless of which version of Christianity one believes in, whether it be Protestant or Catholicism or Mormonism, or if someone believes in something else like Islam or Judaism or Scientology that they are all equally stupid and any human who believes in it should be put on an island where they can't infect others. All I ask for is peace.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

So, a spokesman for the school has finally spoken up.

“We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18, after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C. We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips. This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person. The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion. We know this incident also has tainted the entire witness of the March for Life and express our most sincere apologies to all those who attended the March and all those who support the pro-life movement.

If they had stopped at the "up to and including expulsion" point, I would say that was a good step. Instead, they have to try to reinforce "BUT WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS!" bit.

I mean, forget anecdotal experience. It reads like the sort of dumbass conclusion someone would come to if they read "Catholicism was formed by Jesus' disciples and then Protestantism was a reform movement" and then just decided to reason out the rest of history on their own.

How much longer can the average gov employee hold out before just saying “gently caress it” and finding a new job? Seems like even if the gov does open soon there might not be that many people coming back to work.

I’m not even getting into the whole quit and loses your probable back pay thing. I’m assuming that’s going to get litigated anyways if this drags on much longer.

That's what conservatives want. Drown the government in a bath tub has been the platform for years but Donald is the first one dumb enough to actually try it.

After doing some basic research I take back what I said about Catholicism being fundamentalist. The Catholic Church can interpret the Bible the way it wants, and there's nothing inherent about Catholicism that requires them to interpret the passages about homosexuality the way they do currently. Tomorrow the Pope could declare that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality or homosexual acts, and suddenly Catholicism would be a-ok with homosexuality.

The problem is ~800k people suddenly dropping onto the market is going to make finding a new job pretty drat difficult. Many gov workers probably can't switch even if they're trying

Catholics: archetypal fundamentalists

Edit: this is drive by making GBS threads that isn't helpful if you aren't already familiar with Church history. The Protestant reformation was at its core a schism over the institutions built by the Catholic church - as a result, a lot of Protestant denominations emphasis a personal relationship with God and an individual interpretation of the Biblical text without a larger theological understanding. A return to the Fundamentals, if you will.

A fundamentalist interpretation.

Because made up bullshit has a effect on people's lives and yours. There is a reason why people act the way they do. Its like saying why talk about liberalism its just made up anyway. The entire reason why we have a game show host as a president is because people believed he was the best choice.

Not really. Some people, and imo the only honest religious people, tell you not to take everything your priest says at face value because it should he your decision to be in the faith, not just a byproduct of your messed up upbringing. It's like a lite version of Rumspringa, the Amish community's "one year in the modern world" tradition.

It's endemic in American Catholicism to the point where beyond doctrinal differences the line between Catholic and Evangelical keeps getting blurred. The old guard of liberal union members and Vatican II priests are dying off and the young priests and parishioners are arch conservatives.

American Catholics decided that abortion and gays were the social causes to go down with, and the only other group that cares about being the sex police that much is evangelicals. Lie down with pharasees, get their twisted values. The child molestation scandal running off most everyone capable of a critical look at the church just hastened the decline. I know a lot of people have relatives and people they know who are decent people and Catholic, but I doubt that's going to last. Absent a big schism, American Catholicism is going to end up a holding cell for chuds the same way Southern Baptists are

One funny story from my time there though: one year during homecoming at the biggest student attended Baptist school in Waco when 800+ people were at the service instead of the usual 400 the preacher was electrocuted to death in front of the entire congregation when his mic shorted out while in the baptismal pool. Talk about something that would make you question your belief in God...

This kind of thing inevitably reminds me of the story a friend of mine tells about the one time he saw a tornado touch down in the Silicon Valley area.
