And they’re from Kansas, of all places.

The USA really does have a Christian fundamentalist problem, doesn’t it?

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 09:55 next collapse

Totally not. Just like Afghanistan or Iran don’t have a Muslim fundamentalist problem.

Oh yes. These people have more in common with the Taliban than they’d like to admit.

TBF a lot of the Church’s “strength” comes from its ability to borrow local customs so that locals are willing to adopt it (after you kill people that strongly oppose it), so it makes sense that in Kansas they’re fundamentalists.

Always happy when the dissenters in the Roman Catholic Church are the traditionalists. It means the RCC is moving in the right direction.

This isn’t that hard of a crisis, just excommunicate the nazis.

Boom, problem solved. Being the pope is easy, next try selling some of your gold and jewels to feed the hungry.

The gold and jewels are totally necessary in order to instill the feelings of awe and reverence to god.

You know you’re fucked in the head when THE CATHOLIC CHURCH is too progressive and not traditional enough for you! 🤦🏻

Pictured: woke modernity run amok
