In an earlier time, the Vatican would have owned him as property or supported others owning him due to his skin color, yet he is blissfully oblivious to this as he endorses the oppression of others.

I think Pope Alexander VI made a deal with the Spanish King to the effect that Spain got the right to own the bodies of the natives in their American empire and the Pope got to own their souls. So, yes, the Roman Catholic Church was complicit in slavery and in "colonial exploitation." This stupid man knows nothing about history (including the history of slavery and the history of the Roman Catholic Church) or human rights.

I had to look up, "ideological colonization". That is an idea put forth by Pope Francis: "The Pope referred to the imposition of foreign ideas into a culture as “ideological colonization,” adding that it is sometimes tied to financial assistance."
Has anything in the world been more an example of ideological colonization than what Catholicism has wrought on indigenous cultures worldwide?

Absolutely. The only difference is that Catholicism has exploited their colonies and destroyed indigenous religions whereas the West has most recently attempted to aid the former colonies.

I was just thinking that all these anti-LGBT laws are actually a holdover from the Victorian Era and laws passed against LGBT people. The homophobia was banged into them during the time they were colonies. But, hey, anything to counter that is "ideological colonization" Ri-i-i-i-ight.

And the cover-up - that's really the worst part of it. Not so much that a priest abuses a kid - that's on him - but that his superiors, his church, hides the crime rather than dealing with it openly. Shuffles him off to another parish, usually. That's truly demonic.

Actually, it just shows that sex and gender can't be completely shoehorned into the man made binary oversimplification that everyone is either completely male or completely female with no overlap or other categories.
I certainly don't recommend religion, but even some religious people can have the humility to engage the world as it is rather than try to tell 'God' how to go about creating & judging.

Catholicism is a relic. Its superstitions are laughable. The voodoo rituals don't convince anyone outside the third world. And the claims of the pedophiles to morality are laughable. The civilized world has grown up, and the only thing the superstitious clerics have going for them are old cathedrals and art works.

The RCC is so good at taking a person who has faced discrimination and transforming him into a discriminator. I think we should be more worried about those transitions than stress so much about gender transitions.

Brilliant, of course, as was Hitchens' presentation. Note at the end where they give the audience numbers for "The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world." Before any panel members debated, those who agree were 678 versus 1102 who disagreed. After the debate, it was 268 who still agreed, and 1876 who disagreed! Bwa, ha, ha!

The clergy is immoral, the laity are amoral. The laity don't support child raping, they just don't care enough to do something about it. Or maybe they just worry more about their own personal fate in the afterlife a lot more than anyone else's actual fate in the real world.

I e-mailed the Catholic Prayer Breakfast after reading this article:
"I was dismayed at the comments of Cardinal Sarah, who went too far when calling the push for transgender rights "demonic." This is why American Catholics discount the positions of the Vatican and are leaving the church. It was hate speech, clear and simple. In France and certain other European nations it would be breaking the law. I was just really upset that it happened and I am speaking out about it to others. He is not welcome here again."
Hopefully others will let the Catholic Prayer Breakfast know that their speaker went too far, and I urge you to google them and email your thoughts to their contact page.

"He said the fight for religious freedom should go hand in hand with helping those in poverty."

There are people who think giving African Americans rights was demonic. I think this brand of religion is poison.

And since the RCC is so much more concerned about money, this will never happen.

I LOVE how all these priests and church officials are more and more often recruited from ignorant third world nations in Africa and Latin America. The recruitment in other areas has dropped off so steeply that the church is being forced more and more to do so.
I'll be happy when their recruitment fails so abysmally that the last Pope has to sweep the floor himself before turning out the lights at the Vatican for the last time!

Sarah is taking his cues from the Pope, who also has compared LGBT rights, and gender theory, to Nazism in his own comments about ideological colonization:
"This colonization process passes through the youngest, said the Pope. “The same was done by the dictatorships of the last century. They entered with their own doctrine,” he remarked.
“Think of the Hitler Youth,” he said in reference to the Nazi-training programs to indoctrinate young people to party ideas.."

They just haven't realize that most people around the world don't A flying fuck what they have to say and most governments completely ignor them

Philosophy is just trying to understand our existence. There's no grand/divine purpose, we simply exist to make more of ourselves.
Otherwise, you're having a conversation with a wall here. Seriously, not a freaking clue.

Robert Sarah is Guinean-born, trained in Rome, worked in Guinea before he came to the Vatican as cardinal. African Christians and animists alike tend to be very concrete about what they consider evil, and blame everything on devils or evil spirits possessing people. The Catholics are as bad as the Pentecostals in this regard, and in fact, Pentecostals and other conservative evangelical theologies and churches are taking significant numbers of Christians away from pre-existing state churches, Catholic or Anglican or Dutch Reformed etc etc. The state churches are the residua of former colonization, the evangelicals are a new phenomenon created largely by American pastors and American conservative evangelical money. African countries in general being capitalist, the local pastors adopted the new styles as being much more successful in drawing in the people. LGBT people have now been assigned the scapegoat role formerly held by poor widows ("witches"), twins, children with birth defects, etc.
Anglican former archbishop Desmond Tutu of S. Africa is a rare exception to the pattern of regarding LGBT people as uniquely evil - he fully supports LGBT rights.

Once again the Church thinks supporting right wing Evangelicals to call LGBT people 'demonic and deadly' somehow makes supporting the party of greed conscionable. Or somehow good for their own people's 'religious freedom' to enforce Protestantism on a free country.

Europeans have nude family spas, and it's apparently not an issue, and I've never heard any condemnation of it. This strikes me as inconsistent. That being said, I'm not how successful it would be to attempt to overturn cultural taboos overnight through fiat.

Civil rights aren't what overturn cultural tabooes' ....they just stop using social injustice to reinforce and enable societal *bigotries.* Having had *laws* that treat trans people as pariahs, or 'bathroom threats' are what have made a lot of people think violence, discrimination, and injustice against them are somehow'protecting society' while killing and harming trans people very atrociously.

I'm saying that unisex bathrooms and showers are a cultural taboo, even if arbitrarily derived.
In any rate, not all expressions of a transgender identity are equal. Some have undergone years of hormones and even surgery. Others haven't done any of that.
We apparently haven't persuaded everyone that one instance is the same as the other and merits equal treatment in all instances.

Seeing the great holy guy in his not-so-little black dress with red piping, a line from Martin Mull's sailor song came instantly to mind: "And one guy we call Sally."

Years from now at the Religion Museum there will be wax figures of the Pope, cardinals and Talibangelists, mechanized. Place a dollar in each hand, and the figures yell, "Demon! The power of Christ compels you!" while they turn beet red and vomit holy water on your shoes. (The crescent rolls in the cafe, however, will be scrumptious.)

"Ideological colonization"? Did the villager mean "colonialism"? If he's been eating the "true body" of Jesus in the form of wafers, maybe he could give a speech about cannibalism. The smartest thing that ever came out of this guy's mouth was probably a penis.

Maybe Sarah needs to heed the words of Saint Catherine himself and stop silencing all the children that his church and its staff have conspired to rape and abuse, and proclaim their guilt for all to hear. See Cardinal, that's exactly why mere words are fucking meaninless without concomitant actions that display a genuine desire to repent for your church's crimes and the conspiracies that have abetted their continuation. To put it more bluntly, shove a cross up your ass and get bent you duplicitous hypocritical penis-wrinkle! Spend more time cleaning up your own house. The sane secular world can mind itself just fine,and if and
when it lapses,at least it will be called to account.

It's great and all if you want to have a personal religion but it's entirely inappropriate to apply your religion to everyone else. I'm going to drink alcohol even though the mormons and muslims don't want me to. I'm going to kiss (and more) men even though them and this cardinal doesn't want me to. It's not their business.
Followers of religions need to butt out of everyone else's private lives and keep their religious hands to themselves.

Top Vatican Cardinal Denounces “Demonic” Transgender Rights At National Catholic Prayer Breakfast [AUDIO]
May 18, 2016 Civil Rights, Religion
From the pro-LGBT site Bondings 2.0:
A top cardinal at the Vatican attacked transgender civil rights as “demonic” and compared marriage equality to “poison” during a speech before high-profile U.S. Catholics.
Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship, keynoted the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast yesterday morning in Washington, D.C. His address about family and religious freedom in the contemporary world narrowed into particularly harsh LGBT condemnations. Sarah attacked transgender equality in his speech, saying family is threatened:
“[T]hrough a demonic ‘gender ideology,’ a deadly impulse that is being experienced in a world increasingly cut off from God through ideological colonialism.”
Sarah said efforts towards “tolerance” were really religious persecution, part of an “insidious war” in the U.S. and worldwide to dismantle Catholic teaching. He criticized transgender non-discrimination legislation being debated in many states by his denial of trans identities altogether. He said “nothing could be simpler” than people assigned male at birth using a men’s restroom.
More from the virulently anti-LGBT LifeSiteNews:
Sarah, the prefect for the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Sacraments, was the keynote speaker at the annual prayer breakfast, where he joined Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Sister Constance Veit, the director of communications for the Little Sisters of the Poor. Numerous Catholic bishops and members of Congress, including Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, were in attendance.
“The battle to preserve the roots of mankind is perhaps the greatest challenge our world has faced since its origins,” Sarah told the crowd of nearly a thousand people. Catholics should follow the “courageous” example of St. John the Baptist, a martyr for the sanctity of marriage, Sarah said.
“Do not be afraid to proclaim the truth with love, especially about marriage according to God’s plans,” said Sarah. “In the words of St. Catherine of Siena, ‘proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.’” Sarah blasted gender ideology as “ideological colonization” and lamented the “insidious” dismantling of religious freedom in the United States.
From the Catholic Herald:
The other keynote speaker at the 12th annual Prayer Breakfast, House Speaker Paul Ryan, also criticised attacks on religious liberty. He referred to the ongoing court case between the Little Sisters of the Poor and the US government.
Ryan said he thought religious liberty would make a “comeback”, because there was a growing awareness of the need for God. He said the fight for religious freedom should go hand in hand with helping those in poverty.
Ryan said: “When you meet people who have beaten addiction, most of them say, ‘It wasn’t me, it was God.’ They know the true source of their success. In their struggles, they have to come know Him—and find happiness.
Sarah has previously compared the LGBT rights movement to Nazism and Islamic terrorism.

Awesome Priscilla story. When I saw it in Chicago, (yes before its New York opening) there were several mature men in the lobby of the theater in fabulous Priscilla type drag, sixties frocks with white patent platform boots and massive blond wigs. Naturally all coordinated.
They received applause as they sashayed into their seats. Before the house lights dimmed, two fully uniformed ushers very ceremoniously stood behind them as they all in choreographed unison, removed their wigs, handed them to the ushers, then proceeded to put on swim caps (yes rubber with the rubber daisies) on their heads then settled back into their seats for the performance.
After all, a considerate theater-goer does not block the view of those behind them.

Now back to the original reasoning in the RFRA as written 20 years ago - to allow servicemen and servicewomen to wear kippeh, Muslim headscarf, turban, beard, whatever - to accommodate well known and long-standing religious customs that have no effect on military competence.

I appreciate this but we all know it will go nowhere since the GOP is in control in the House. It would be better to spend the time making sure Rump does not become the next President. And then when the WH, Senate and House are all Blue have this and other legislation ready to roll.

I wish I could feel some sincerely felt happiness with this - but the world will be much further ahead to see ALL religion run back into the closet (as they have tried to do to us) and of what remains - tax the ever livin' lovin' shit right out of 'em. NO tax breaks for parking lots or tennis courts or study halls or office towers or anything other than X number of square feet based on attendance. AND they must ALL file tax returns for every frigging dime they grift.
Sorry - they want me dead. This bill won't change that.

The closet. Great point. We need to stupid shame the religious. Sorry the few of you on here that are stupid and admit. Religion is for stupid people. All of it
It's so sime. There is only our world. We were not created and, no, the Big Bang was not the beginning. It explains current universe expansion, but there is no beginning or end. Accept truth and religion is moot
I know some of you are pagan or wicchan but no deity, just a moral belief system (I see modern pagans as seeing spirituality in nature including we animals, and a little tongue and cheek. Never met one that thinks Mt Olympus and zeuss's family are real). Fine. All the rest:stupid. Keep stupid shaming them publicly. They'll crawl back into their home
Yes you episcopalians/Anglicans:nice PR doesn't cut it. Stupid to believe the myths and really stupid to lend credibility to religion as a viable thing. Just stupid!

About time, the RFRA laws were entirely bent out of shape in Hobby Lobby. Let's not forget the history. Scalia opined in Employment Division v Smith that religious use of peyote was an acceptable reason to fire someone (he was going for State wins unless it's Christian religious privilege). The Congress didn't like that and passes the RFRA in response. The RFRA, however, was written more broadly than it should have been and the Becket Fund for Religious Domination* immediately seized on it as a vehicle for their desire to talibanize (im sorry, christianize) all aspects of US society.
*an extremely well funded group of attorneys with christianist ideals and oligarch billionaires funding it
Also note that fixing the federal RFRA isn't enough. The various States have passed equivalent State level laws that do the same christianist privilege to violate other laws but put it on steroids.

I know this is a functional way of neutralizing a law designed to legalize discrimination (the RFRA is not about "religion," freedom," or "restoration" of some right that was taken away...we all know this but it bears repeating), but these laws are hideous, and future generations will see them for what they really are.
Progressives, by seeking to "amend" something that is already there, are implicitly saying "this is not that bad, it just needs tweaking." That's not the case at all, and by doing so they're ceding territory to these prejudiced fuckwads.
It should be full repeal, all stop. And the RFRA should be called out for what it really is, again and again.

Sadly when Christians encounter the odors of the bathroom they associate it to sex. And we know Christians have a love/hate relationship with sex. They love abusing others with it, but work feverishly to make sure no one else has it unless on their terms.
This new bill simply needs to be called another bathroom bill and the religious right will become overwhelming impassioned.

Both democratic candidates would happily sign such a thing. Trump would veto it the moment his supporters started screaming. So vote for the democratic candidate no matter who it is, and vote down ticket to make sure it reaches him or her.

The religious right wing will tar and feather this so fast, there will be no undoing their "definition" of what the bill does. Just more foo foo legislation put together during an election year to be used for political purposes.

Similar to the state RFRA attempt in WV, when the bill was successfully amended to say that it specifically could NOT BE USED TO DISCRIMINATE, the sponsors pulled support and said, "Never mind". If it can't be used by xtians to discriminate against others, then it has no purpose and won't get any GOP support.

DO NO HARM: House Democrats Seek To “Correct” Federal RFRA Law With Amendment Banning Discrimination On Religious Grounds
May 18, 2016 Civil Rights, Religion
Via press release:
Joined by leaders from the civil rights, social justice and faith communities, Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03), Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and Congressman Joe Kennedy III (MA-04) today introduced legislation to amend the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). The Do No Harm Act would clarify that no one can seek religious exemption from laws guaranteeing fundamental civil and legal rights. It comes in response to continued efforts across the country to cite religious belief as grounds to undermine Civil Rights Act protections, limit access to healthcare, and refuse service to minority populations.
Specifically, the Do No Harm Act would limit the use of RFRA in cases involving discrimination, child labor and abuse, wages and collective bargaining, access to health care, public accommodations, and social services provided through government contract.
“When Congress passed RFRA in 1993, the goal was to protect religious freedom for minority groups by requiring the government to demonstrate a compelling interest and to use a policy that was the least restrictive means,” said Congressman Bobby Scott. “Since then, the law has been misconstrued as allowing the sincerely-held religious beliefs of one person to trump the civil rights of others. Civil rights are a compelling government interest, and we cannot allow so-called ‘religious freedom,’ ‘religious liberty’ or ‘faith-based initiatives’ to invalidate the very laws designed to correct the generations of injustices inflicted on minorities. The Do No Harm Act restores the original intent of RFRA.”
“The right of Americans to freely and fully express our faith is sacred in this country,” said Congressman Joe Kennedy III. “But in order to guarantee that liberty for every citizen, our system must ensure that my religious freedom does not infringe on yours or do you harm. While not its original intent, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act has become a vehicle for those seeking to impose their beliefs on others or claim that the tenants of their faith justify discrimination. The Do No Harm Act will restore the balance between our right to religious freedom and our promise of equal protection under law.”
Lambda Legal reacts:
Today, U.S. Reps. Joseph Kennedy (D-MA) and Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-VA) introduced the Do No Harm Act, a long-overdue correction to the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) that amends the law to clarify that it does not permit the use of religion to discriminate, force religious beliefs on another or impose dignitary harm on someone else. Jennifer C. Pizer, Senior Counsel and Director, Law & Policy Project, Lambda Legal, issued the following statement:
“Since long before the LGBT civil rights movement even started, our communities have been targeted by religion-based efforts to condemn, control, and restrict the lives and equal opportunities of gay and transgender people, same-sex couples, and people living with HIV. In recent years, too many of those who oppose the equality and inclusion of LGBT people have insisted upon religious exemptions from laws providing nondiscrimination and other protections everyone should have at work, at school, in medical offices and in social services.
“As Hobby Lobby, the recent non-decision in Zubik and the cascade of state-level discriminatory and distortive religious exemption bills demonstrate, the federal RFRA law absolutely needs this clarification. Congress never intended RFRA to become, perversely, a tool for rejecting others. The Do No Harm Act is an urgently needed course correction.”
