Candace Owens, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Susan Collin’s, Tom Cotton Ben Sasse etc etc

Lots of Republicans Catholics in Congress.

I'm atheist / agnostic but occasionally go with my wife to her Lutheran Church which is the progressive brand of Lutheran and much closer to what I think a Christian should be.

Un-fkn-believable, things charlie kirk said 👇

...strawman argument Kirk was making that day], "women hit 'the wall' after 30", ...it goes on and on. Charlie Kirk is the gift that keeps on giving.

Maybe Dolan is on the Epstein list.

The right moment for the American Pope to give him a bit of Papal grief.

You see this?

And he is not a Christian.
The Pope should remove him or at least publicly chastise him and rein him in.

a flaming asshole. Always has been, always will be. But he is, in fact, a christian.

do not change the fact that Dolan is, by definition, a christian. One of the greatest weaknesses of christianity is that there are thoser who are convinced they can determine who is not a christian. This is always found exclusively at the lower levels of understanding of Jesus's message.

What exactly did Jesus say about being a Christian, calling himself the messiah, or any of the other major tenets of Christianity? I follow Jesus not many modern denominations that claim to have the truth

that you have listed everything attributed to Jesus -- which would be his message?

Many biblical scholars have written books about it and it is a field that constantly has new insights. I no more speak for Jesus as anyone else but I do try to respect new insights and knowledge.

I was wondering why you asked that. I find the prophet Jesus to be fascinating. I was hoping you weren't going to bring up the community college first semester debate if he existed, or was merely a story authored bu some Greeks. While the gospels tell of some of the things Jesus said, I think it is possible that the Q (andX) source(s) that some scholars think there is evidence of being used in authoring a gospel or two.

…I will leave you to your thoughts.

Do you think he is an atheist? Is a secretly a follower of some other religion?

…interested only in power. He does not follow Christ.

If he's not a Christian, he really has to be one or another of those.

I stand by my statement. I will not be boxed into another by mechanical logic. But if we must, try this logic. No one who is a politician who is only interested in power is a Christian. I’ll leave you to figure out what else he is.

give Dolan a Chi-town smackdown. It’s long overdue.

Kick his ass out, Pope.

pope at the last conclave

It's possible to mourn someone's death without endorsing their life's work.

I’m having trouble reconciling this selective morality PR campaign with Christ’s ministry. It’s not a good use of my time.

He hated Obama.

Reason 432 as to why I'm no longer Catholic. Guy's like this that proved to me it's all a big lie. Keep talking Dolan, you're doing a great job of chasing people away from religion.

Correction "Ex"

Paul was an ass.

And Dolan is a piece of shit.

Resign please.

He covered up his pedophile clergy

The Catholics and Lutherans have been consolidating parishes due to shrinking congregations. They have to have seen his podcasts and know what he preached. The few parishes still operating have closed their schools as well. The Catholics probably want that private school voucher money.

Is Dolan endorsing Kirk's view that American gun violence is a worthwhile trade off for the benefits of the Second Amendment?

Is Dolan endorsing Kirk's idea that black women aren't intellifent enough to be taken seriously?

...and done by so many who claim to be his followers.

(Contentedly questioning agnostic here.)

"The truth shall set you free"? Among many other things Charlie Kirk spread false information about voter fraud, the 2020 election, and COVID. He lied intentionally.

This guy makes a mockery of the Catholic Church.

the Inquisition.

Hypocrites.

bigoted. Period.
Its time that we acknowledge that and stop with the " This is not who we are bullshit".

Another xtian who is not a Jesus follower.

Just some of his offenses:

-As Archbishop of Milwaukee, Dolan authorized a settlement in which the archdiocese offered priests who had abused children up to $20,000 to leave the priesthood, along with continued healthcare coverage. This payout was criticized by victims' advocates as a "bonus" to pedophiles that allowed them to leave quietly.

-In 2007, Dolan requested and received permission from the Vatican to move $57 million into a cemetery trust fund, which legal experts interpreted as an attempt to shield assets from sexual abuse lawsuits. Dolan denied this claim, calling it "malarkey," but his letter to the Vatican noted that the move would provide "an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability".

-In 2019, Dolan was accused of providing "safe harbor" to Monsignor John Paddack, a New York priest with multiple child sexual abuse allegations against him. Despite repeated allegations from survivors and a public campaign by lawyers, Paddack was not included on the public list of "credibly accused" clergy that Dolan released that year. Dolan eventually removed Paddack from active ministry under increasing pressure but is alleged to have kept him in his rectory.

- A survivor, Chris O'Leary, has alleged that Dolan knew of and ignored abuse perpetrated by priest LeRoy Valentine in the late 1970s, when they both served at a church in St. Louis. O'Leary also claims that in 2002, Dolan lied to him and gaslit him to protect the church.

-Dolan resisted releasing a comprehensive list of accused priests for many years, arguing that the names were already "out there". He ultimately released a list of 120 names in 2019, but most of those named were deceased.

-As Archbishop of New York, Dolan has initiated a lawsuit against Chubb, an insurance company, accusing them of refusing to cover sex abuse claims. The archdiocese claimed this was a fraudulent business practice aimed at protecting the insurer's bottom line and delaying payments to victims. Critics, however, have dismissed the legal action as another financial tactic to avoid accountability.

-Leaked 2017 audio obtained by ABC News in 2021 revealed that a lawyer hired by Dolan discussed with other bishops how the church's independent compensation program could be used to persuade legislators not to pass the Child Victims Act, which would suspend the statute of limitations for old abuse cases.

-In 2020, the Vatican ordered Dolan to investigate sexual abuse allegations against Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio. Dolan eventually announced that the Vatican had exonerated DiMarzio, a result that victims' advocates heavily criticized due to the church's self-investigatory process.

It's disappointing to me that all the networks fell in line behind this guy. They never gave a shit about him before (most people had no idea who he was before he was killed) but now he's flooding the airwaves.

Is it that the network execs don't know what he stood for? I guess it's possible that they don't know since anyone who discusses it is quickly fired and silenced.

Apparently, bigotry is perfectly okay as long as you're "nice" about it.
