>Catholic and Orthodox have way less loonies comparatively than either evangelicals or the fedora wearing atheist crowd which is basically another form of protestantism. I've never been religious by my little sister was. She loved helping out at Mass every Sunday, and volunteered to be an alter server. She was one of the most faithful and good-hearted Christians I've ever met. As long as you didn't bring up abortion, anyway. Then one day the priest said she wasn't allowed to anymore, because she was a girl. He said that only boys should be allowed up in the front of church. His justification was that being an alter server was practice for being a priest, and only men were allowed to be priests. Do you happen to know what the Catholic Church's justification for only allowing male priests is, by the way? Well you see, God is male, obviously, and the Church is symbolically married to God, so that means that the Church must be symbolically female, and priests are symbolically married to the Church (the Church is poly?) meaning, of course, that priests have to be male. If you get a Protestant or a fedora atheist, you're basically rolling the dice, but if you get a Catholic, you know for a fact that they're at minimum fine with being part of a deeply sexist, homophobic, and authoritarian institution. Fucking *Amazon* would be a better moral authority than the Catholic Church because at least Amazon doesn't *explicitly descriminate based on sex.* Always the last to be dragged into the future, kicking and screaming the whole time, since Galileo if not before.
