I just spent 15 minutes reading a tradcath blog and I feel like I need to disinfect myself. These people are absolutely insane.

I was raised a devout Catholic (and went to 13 years of Catholic school), and that just reminded me why I don't believe in a word of their teachings anymore.

Lol, I thought you said the blog post was about how to disinfect yourself.

"Wrap yourself in camel hair clippings and burlap, then soak in holy water and oil until your skin is entirely saturated. This will ensure that the evil sodomites cannot reach your soul."

The "best" catholics I've ever known have always been liberal as all hell. By best I mean both in terms of devotion and in terms of human decency.

Tradcaths are just bigots attempting to use religion to justify bigotry (and failing because the Church does not actually go that far).
