I'd rather that money go into secular organizations.
What's wrong with that?
Wave vaguely at all the resident school mass graves and pedophilias
The US just voted down a bill that would require religious institutions to report child rape that they are currently not required to report.
So yes
Is there an updated version of Poe's law where instead of being unable to distinguish conservative posters from trolls, it's being unable to distinguish between AI bots and uninformed-yet-strongly opinionated trolls? I honestly can't tell if you are specifically intending to be obtuse and ignorant, or if you really aren't aware of the multitudes of recent church scandals. If it's the latter, then I'd love to know which rock you're living under and if there's enough room for me, because it must be much nicer under there than it is out here.
You're on the internet, the entirety of human knowledge is at your fingertips. This specific info is just a search and a few moments of light reading away, but just in case you're actually a real person and are asking out of sincere curiosity, here's a few links for you to check out: https://nypost.com/2025/07/18/us-news/judge-blocks-washington-state-law-requiring-catholic-priests-to-report-abuse-even-if-disclosed-in-confession/
Meanwhile, France and other EU nations are done with allowing the church to assist with covering up and hiding crimes under the guise of clergy-penitent privs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/12/catholic-priests-france-report-abuse-allegations-confession
...and if you're curious about why most of the world wants clergy to be made mandatory reporters, here's a short list of modern sex abuse scandals involving clergy; though this is far from exhaustive and only focuses on the Catholic church. There are a lot more cases out there from all religions and denominations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases_by_country
Thanks for trying. The rose colored glasses are twice as thick these days. I honestly can't tell if they are a troll or not but you spent some effort here for the record.
