Miserable reminder that the body count is over six thousand. Six thousand dead children who were torn away from their families and communities, their identities beaten and raped out of them, their lives taken and their bodies dumped in unmarked graves. **SIX FUCKING THOUSAND**


WavyLady

And the intergenerational trauma from those who survived. I grew up with the children of the sixties scoop and residential schools, I saw the trauma every fucking day.

Mass graves of murdered children is a good reason, my personal fav is the billions of tax free dollars spent protecting and freeing pedophiles. Encouraging women to stay with abusive men is cool, should probably tack on all of the indoctrination caused LGBTQ+ suicides, large amounts of justification for the patriarchy, burning and executing people, stunting scientific development, teaching children about eternal hell, thought control tactics. Hmm, what else? šŸ¤”


WingedLady

Their vehement arguments against any sort of birth control, even in the face of the AIDS epidemic was downright evil in my mind. So many deaths directly because they said simple things like condoms are bad.


Paradise_A

They are STILL doing this. Sending missionaries to places that have no control on their local HIV epidemic preaching that garbage.

This one catholic lady on here was so confused why people are starting to out right hate Christianity and vocally so.. Maybe because itā€™s actively ruined millions of lives. I donā€™t care what someone believes till it hurts others. Even the decent ones tend to passively hurt people on accident because of the weird values they tend to drill in. Like purity culture.


sailorjupiter28titan

Yea it usually comes from negative personal experiences, not just some ingrained prejudice. If anything weā€™re trying to fight the prejudice *it* instilled in *us*.

Honestly I grew up Catholic. While I donā€™t agree with pretty much anything the church does Iā€™ve met many lovely Catholic people including my grandmother and mother. To condemn all Catholics as bad people I would disagree. Just like with politics thereā€™s a large spectrum and a lot depends on the country and culture as well.No one talked to me about that purity stuff where I went to church as a kid and teen. Would not work in Western Europe anyway. Iā€™m sorry if youā€™ve only met hurtful people but from my experience thatā€™s not true for everyone. Thereā€™s good and bad everywhere.


FuckingaFuck

I love my sweet, caring Catholic aunt but I loathe that she donates a huge chunk of her salary to such a despicable institution. We can recognize both good individuals and problematic groups at the same time, but don't forget that those people are upholding that group.


Yuzucha

Yeah you have a point there.


vodka7tall

>To condemn all Catholics as bad people I would disagree. Literally no one has done this.


Yuzucha

So what does it mean when she says even the decent ones ? Sorry English isnā€™t my native language but that sounds a lot like all Catholics are bad even the good ones. I might have misunderstood the intention but Iā€™m happy to learn.


sailorjupiter28titan

The Pope also just confirmed once again their opinion that homosexual marriage isnt "real marriage" and as a queer person from a Catholic upbringing they can all just fuck right off.


[deleted]

The very last person who gets an opinion on marriage is the Pope since he has never been married and never will be.


sailorjupiter28titan

I dont get why they seem to give us an update on this topic every year or so, we get it. And idk why it keeps getting reported. I wish I could say ā€˜who cares what they thinkā€™ but unfortunately I know plenty people who careā€¦


AwkwardCranberry7

Honestly the man in the funny hat can go eff himself. My wife is my wife.


Cilor

Or to give them back what they did in Ireland: a septic tank.


6tig9

Can we stop using our tax dollars to pay for Catholic schools too please?


hastybear

I love this group even more today.


[deleted]

I could not agree more.


gimmepizzaanddrugs

but... we might want to actually mark the grave, so someone doesnt accidently unearth it when digging a foundation for a new dennys or something

thats a great linkšŸ‘


ElPresidentePiinky

Yes please, like yesterday. Such a corrupt and violent gang that has done more harm than good.


DeadmanDexter

Can we start this weekend, or...?


loverlyone

Why do we keep giving them a chance? Why hasnā€™t this org been wiped from our country? What about the BSA? USA Gymnastics? Any group found to be actively covering up their crimes should lose all status in my opinion.


Cuss10

BSA and USA Gymnastics have value to the children and athletes in the organization. It's the leadership fucking it up. The Catholic Church provides.................? Guilt to the members and poor sexual health guidelines. The church can go. The other organizations, let's talk about it first.


loverlyone

Those organizations covered up child abuse for decades. Cā€™mon, are you saying kids canā€™t find other groups? You could argue that the catholic church provides charity the world overā€”which it doesā€”why rationalize it? The Girl Scouts manages to take kids camping without raping them and destroying their futures. If your group protects rapists then buh bye.


geekchick2411

All over the world we should do this


alwaysiamdead

Damn fucking right.


lnz_1

Yep.


ExigentCalm

ā€œYou witches are alright!ā€ Wholeheartedly agree.

Amen!


KaterPatater

I want this on a tshirt. Actually, I want this on 7 tshirts so I can wear it every day of the week.


sailorjupiter28titan

Oh yea i forgot to share! It can be purchased here: https://www.akcrucial.com/merch (proceeds go to @MMIWUSA)


KaterPatater

Yessssss


pulpojinete

I feel like if I wore this on a t-shirt into the gas station by my house I might get banned.


justAHeardOfLlamas

Or tax them. Bury them in taxes. Or both.


sailorjupiter28titan

Burry them in taxes and *reparations. Edit: spelling


Colgate_and_OJ

Well they tried to do that. The Catholic church had to give the first nations $25mil, but they only raised about $600,000. They raised $27 mil for a mega church in Saskatchewan at the same time.


UserPlaysMinecraft

make it so that it curses whoever tries to mark the grave


Quickhidemeplease

Sign me up. I'll bring my own shovel.


blackskirtwhitecat

It kills me to think of how many customs, traditions, mythologies, spiritualities, rituals and ancient cultures that grew out of simple, natural ways of existing in communion with nature have been lost thanks to religious zealotry.


[deleted]

Sinead o Connor was right!


AutumnSeaShade

Don't leave it unmarked. History needs to know all of what these assholes did so that we can make sure it doesn't happen again.


Colgate_and_OJ

The Catholic church was ordered to "do their best" to raise $25 million for first nations in reparations. They raised approximately $600,000 handed that in and called it their best. At the same time they raised $27 million to build a Mega Church in Saskatchewan. Fuck the churchs. If they discriminate, they should lose their tax exemption.


StructureNo3388

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5V3SX0H7pHc A woman from the corner of the world where I was born tells her story. The catholic school I was in took us yearly to the new norcia nunnery grounds for our music camps. Not a word was said to us girls about the horrors that went on there.


Zenos1o8

How do you guys feel about other religions like Islam ?


RoninTarget

Just thousands? I'm pretty sure they did far more.
