This is what happens when you tie education to the job market

I don’t get your point

You really lack the ability to understand that not all priests are pedophiles bro. Your logic is like “All killers drink water, therefore water is a problem and must be abolished”. The non sequitur is huge! About the link you sent, of course they will have spend money on a lawyer, but that’s because 1. a process is needed to find out if an allegation is actually true and 2. Everyone has the right to defend themselves in court because, again, a process and an investigation are needed to find out the truth. The worst dictatorship is the one where alleged criminals don’t have rights even during trial and before getting a sentence.

Also, thanks to Pope Francis, if a priest is a pedophile, it will have to get processed by the state and not by the Vatican. The times when pedos in the church just got sentenced to 5 years isolated into monastery have ended in most countries in the world

This is who I am defending. You can use a translator

I don’t have a super favorable view on the church but all the people complaining thst the church is a huge display of health in terms of real estate without realizing that most of the crazy expensive things you can find that are related to the church were built 600 years ago or are even older. You are forgetting that the church back in the day was THE state that dominated a huge chunk of the center of modern day Italy. The social and political climate was completely different, the public discourse was different etc.

You’re also forgetting that the church provides for so much services all throughout the world, from healthcare to education and all at really competitive prices because usually everything they do is not even for profit. What are you suggesting for the church to do? To sell everything to billionaires and to states that are drowning in debt and don’t even have the expertise to manage such a complex network of stuff so that they can either tear down everything to open malls and parking lots of trying to find a way to profit over it as much as possible? The church, especially in really disadvantaged areas, is many times the ONLY provider of healthcare and education for the poor and parishes and oratories are in many areas the only healthy socialization space in a world that is getting extremely gentrified and that’s lacking places where people can connect and build community. You can even enter parishes and participate to their social and volunteering activities without even being a Catholic

Do I think that there’s a huge chunk of pedophiles in the church? YES. Do I think we need more transparency in the Vatican financial statements? 100%. But just like administrations over time change, so does the church. It’s good that such an influential person is trying his best to make the conscience of millions of people wake up

Alright blud I’m sure that the current pope built it himself with his own money and the vatican is not definitely a few hundreds of years old and built in an extremely different socioeconomic environment where the church WAS the state and not just a religious institution.

That being said, right, I got it! Let’s sell all of this beauty to neoliberal states and billionaires so that they can turn them into malls and parking lots!

This is the most TikTok/Instagram politics comment I’ve ever read on here blud. The world is not black and white. If you live in America why don’t you sell everything and go back to the UK since it is all stolen land?

So what should they do? Selling all that real estate to billionaires so that they can test down thousands of years of history and replace it with malls and parking lots? Also, the church represented different stuff in different moments of history, it wasn’t all that bad

It’s built up over hundreds and hundreds of years, now the church doesn’t have the spending power it once had and it is drowning in debt. I wish they won’t ever sell their real estate or I think that private billionaires will turn them into fucking amusement parks

What have they done to my boy
