How does the catholic church condone domestic violence? You are thinking of Mormons and baptists. The preacher will straight up tell women in "therapy" that they need to submit to their husbands even when he's being a legit POS. I've never heard that from my priest.... (half of us are liberal btw, things will change when the olds die off)

Protestants have problems with sex abuse and certainly have a patriarchal hierarchy. (unless you mean the Unitarians, they are extra cool)

Half of Catholics are liberal though.

My Catholic husband is a feminist and a Marxist though.... There are differing levels of piety in any faith and painting with a broad brush is ignorant.

As a Catholic I have the right to try to change it from the inside. Change is slow in an organization that is 2000 years old but it will come or we don't survive. Saying Catholic should be synonymous with child abuse is quite a bigoted thing to say. I should be synonymous with child abuse? Hateful.

The impossibility of policing is due to the concentration of power. Organizations with access to children often have the problem of child sex abuse. You see this with or without "god" in the mix.

Women are better than men at relationships. Men are experiencing a loneliness epidemic because of it.

Reply to comment by otravez5150 in People from the poorest backgrounds are far more likely to develop a mental disorder later in life than those from wealthier beginnings. More than half of people with a low educational attainment at age 30 will have a diagnosis of a mental disorder 22 years later by Wagamaga
I'm trying not to read this as an insinuation that all poor people are on drugs so I will be discussing bipolar, which I have. Sometimes bipolar people get their first mania b/c they went to the Dr to get help and were prescribed anti depressants. Bipolar mania can also be caused by stimulants (RX and meth). Bipolar psychosis can be caused by a bad marijuana strain. The bipolar itself would still be "organic" in any case.

The school thing is about Values. I pay $1000.00 a month for private school for my sons because high quality education is a Value. Education is how I escaped poverty so this is closely held.

Yeah until men have to carry the babies there never will be true equality. Equity maybe but I'm not even sure how you offset the misery of simply having a female vessel. I mean seriously, all else aside, this body sucks. (not trans)
