Follow the conversation from the start. I think you came in half way through mate.Indeed.
So I was curious why anyone would suddenly criticize 'the left' for failing to be sufficiently critical of Islam.
On this thread.

OK!Follow the conversation from the start. I think you came in half way through mate.
Priests were allowed to marry up until circa 15th century when there was a lot of corruption. The vow of poverty forgotten, priests were accruing land and wealth for themselves and instead of it staying in the church, was left to their families. The Borgias in particular were infamous, creating a dynasty.I'm a lapsed Catholic. I'm in favour of women priests
I'm also in favour of priests being allowed to marry but only if they love one another
Women priests are a different matter altogether as scripture says a woman shouldn’t be in governance in a church. That goes across the denominations, except CofE and Methodists. Women can be leaders but not in charge.
The wealth is tied up with buildings and land, but I appreciate what you are saying. There are lots of Catholic charities that are doing good, Mother Theresa being an excellent example, but aren't as publicised, whereas Elon Musk has yet to shown he has any charity at all.Meanwhile, a pile on against countries like Saudi Arabia is fair game amongst Catholics.
The Catholic Church has a wealth akin to Elon Musk who totally refuses to use his money for good and to help the poorest in the world, he’s a greedy, nasty, hateful c**t.
What’s the Vatican’s excuse?
They do a lot of good but I agree they could do a lot more. As far as Elon goes, what good does he do?! His cars are overrated, he’s ruined Twitter and made it basically a Nazi site riddled with p orn and he fancies himself as a politician.Meanwhile, a pile on against countries like Saudi Arabia is fair game amongst Catholics.
