I am opposed to reconciling anything in a way that makes it easier for devout Catholics to remain Catholics The nadir of Liz's public politics was when she tried to do this for the child sex abuse scandal in the Church, but doing it for anything else is also pretty bad

Stating as a fact that Catholics *have no choice* but to continue receiving sacraments from the Roman hierarchy and that apostasy *is not an option* makes her a pretty fundamental ideological enemy of mine There's no bad faith in that, that's taking her at her word

So cast iron facts are the reason you dislike her? This petty atheist need to make people recant their religions is why I regret being one.

I don't want to make her recant anything, I have no interest in her as a human being I reserve the right to make fun of her shitty beliefs and express my opposition to being in any group she's part of

If your problem with her is that she acknowledges that catholics need the catholic church then yeah, that’s exactly what you’re doing.

She's not acknowledging it, it's a truth she's trying to speak into existence and maintain the truth of by continuing to profess it (one of the pillars of a faith based worldview) Plenty of people leave the Church every day and don't burst into flame

It's not even really that she's opposed to, she's a fan of Rod Dreher and therefore a fierce opponent of liberal apostasy/heresy creeping into the Church

That's the actual future that's probably coming one way or another - not some kind of wave of Dawkins-style New Atheism, just people remaining "culturally Catholic" but slowly splitting off from the hierarchy and deciding theology doesn't matter

The whole thing she's standing athwart history calling "Stop!" for, which is annoying and ridiculous
