Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsGiven Ms Taylor-Greene's recent statement that Satan is controlling the Catholic Church, how
long will it be before we're told that the Pope is a coke-snorting pedophile using the Vatican to traffic sex slaves and producing child porn?
So far, the MAGA party has trashed Muslims, Jews and Catholics. Can Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians and even Baptists be far behind?

In fact, Greene was against the only Protestant SCOTUS Justice -- Katanji Brown Jackson.
Six Full-On Catholic Justices, Two Jewish Justices, and then there's Neal Gorsuch. . .
Justice Gorsuch considers himself a Catholic or a Catholic leaning Episcopalian.

(1,780 posts)...in the planning stages of starting an "Anglo-Saxon think tank" with idiots like Paul Gosar and Matt Gaetz. A document got leaked to the press which contained references to "classical European architecture", the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, and "Anglo-Saxon culture" (all favorite dog whistles of the alt-right). Going full fash is only inches away after that, including WASP supremacy and anti-Catholicism.
One of the hosts on the leftist Chapo Trap House podcast (Amber, I think) predicted that the American right would eventually start flirting with fascism this way: attacking non-WASP subgroups for being "insufficiently American". So groups like the Italians (especially southern Italians), Irish, Slavs, etc. would increasingly find themselves becoming "others", at least with those on the far right.

(3,482 posts)Theres no defending the church on this. They have covered up thousands upon thousands of child rapes, moved problem priests to other parishes to commit their heinous crimes over and again. If its any consolation, I think all religions are the same in this regard and I feel that its all a bunch of superstitious claptrap and nonsense. The greatest scam ever invented.

(3,482 posts)And thats a lame attack. Im hardly a right winger. Theyre generally as religiously insane as anyone. Are you saying these things havent happened? Because lying and delusion is far more right wing than pointing out facts.

(3,482 posts)The church, of course, being the clergy and the leadership. The flock are the victims, both of the abuse and the general scam. Although the latter is self-inflected after the age of reason is reached.

(28,442 posts)including raping and molesting children. It's easier to see the pattern in the Catholic church because of the rigidly structured hierarchy under a gigantic umbrella organization. Protestant denominations have neither the numbers of followers nor an umbrella organization uniting the hundreds of denominations and thousands of independent churches. To me, this sounds the same as saying all Americans are responsible for TFG's actions.
