    Now watch 1 year later they pass a law to require clergy to report to parents if they believe a child is potentially gay or trans.

      That’s an optimistic timeline. A whole year without hurting the gay or trans kids is much too long for this administration to be comfortable with.

        Oh sure, but they have hundreds of ways to do that. They usually give a bit of time to assume everyone’s forgotten something before they go full on hypocritical and claiming the opposite

    note that it is automatic excommunication to disclose anything learned in confession, it’s like the main thing

      I always trust any group where the ‘main thing’ that will get you kicked out is … telling the truth.

    So Trump is openly supporting CSA? Put that on the gigantic pile of stuff evangelicals don’t listen to.

      You know that evangelical institutions cover up CSA every bit as much as the Catholics were, right?

      For some reason it’s not as talked about. But it’s there and it happens.

      They don’t want priests to be mandatory reporters either. Even if, technically they don’t believe in the seal of the confessional.

      “ReLiGiOuS fReEdOm” and “pArEnT’s RiGhTs”.

      Anything that gets in the way of them being hateful and freely treating their children like property without consequence is to be shut down immediately.

        Except for the parents right to let their child be their own gender.

          Are you implying GP is MAGA type? I’m more wondering if they’re some type of bot. Every single comment is nearly identical in that style. I’ve learned to pi k it out and pretty much ignore the content of the comment at this point.
