    The Next Pope

    Married priests already exist in the Church. Peter had a wife, for goodness' sake. It's a question of whether to continue that particular discipline as a norm or requirement in the Latin Rite. It's not doctrinal. The female priesthood is not going to happen. A female diaconate is a different...

    Trump Assassination Attempt

    "So many." No wonder you like Trump, you exaggerate and pull stuff out of your behind like he does. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1180242/opinions-on-trump-s-performance-as-us-president-italy/...

    We can have those disagreements sans violence. Indeed.

    Trump Assassination Attempt

    As a Biden voter who has no love for Trump, this is despicable. Violence against political opponents cannot be tolerated. Biden's statement was brief and to the point, as it should have been before we confirm more facts. Let's avoid this devolving into a debate about gun control or whatever...

    Catholic Excommunication

    No, but there's nothing that...happens, because your name is on a record as having been baptized in a Catholic parish some 20+ years ago.

    Catholic Excommunication

    If you've apostasized, you're automatically excommunicated already. There doesn't need to be a formal process for that.

    Catholic Excommunication

    I would contact the diocese where you were baptized and see if they have a process.

    Catholic Excommunication

    Interesting. If it makes you feel any better, if you haven't been to Mass any time recently, you're probably not being "counted" on some list as still Catholic: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21545819.amp

    Catholic Excommunication

    I believe you can contact the diocese where you were baptized and request to be removed from Church membership. I'd have to check the details on that.

    The Next Pope

    It's well-known that secular authoritarian regimes have had no qualms with suppressing religion. In those societies, it very much is possible for parents to threaten their children with legal consequences or violence. And again, if the threat of hellfire or whstever other asymmetrical...

    The Next Pope

    But that's just it. It's just as "extreme" to a non-religious parent when their child becomes religious as when a religious parent sees their child become non-religious. You're watching someone you raised adopt positions you find abhorrent. The psychological and sociological processes are all...

    Besides RF, what social media platforms do you consume or participate in? How frequent is your usage? Which is your favorite? Why?

    Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

    So now you know what I think and what arguments I'm making better than I know them? Let me give you some advice: don't quit your day job to be a psychic. The current issue isn't child abuse. Lol Jesus Christ how many times must it be said to you? Make your own thread if that's what you wsnna...

    Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

    The reader may decide if I'm strawmanning you. I'm not. You don't want to talk about Trump's mental failings. That's obvious at this point.

    Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

    If you think criticism of Trump you read is unfair, you can critique it on its own merits without going, "But Biden!"

    We gotta talk about Biden's press conference today

    Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

    Criticism of an individual politician is different from criticism of an entire group of people, based on religion or political affiliation or whatever else. We moderate bigoted comments about groups of people, and have done so specifically in reference to comments about conservatives and Trump...

    Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

    You can keep repeating the same thing over and over. It's not getting any truer. We allow criticism of politicians around here. This is just as true of Biden or Trump. But thank you for admitting that your devotion to Trump is basically religious at this point. Makes sense why you're...

    Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

    It's possible for both of them to have issues with mental acuity. I know that's a wild concept perhaps. But this thread is about Trump's situation. There's lots of other threads that have been created to discuss Biden. You could even make one. At this point you're attempting to derail.
