I agree, but there is no guarantee that the same would not have happened under Benedict. I do think that going along with the flow robs the Church of any influence. Because if the Catholic Church is just Social Justice, what need for Catholicism? You can just go for the real thing.
Painful to admit, but I agree.
Religion is supposedly 'ridiculous', but without it, we now believe that men are women and that 'polyamory' is something that should be respected.
Worse than anything Francis has done is probably his appointments.
I wonder every day if religion is the lesser evil.
Do some people really need to believe in a magic afterlife and supreme being to not fuck animals, or loot a target?
The answer is not immediately “no” which is absurd.
It's not even an "evil." It's a technology. If society has a good one, it'll build civilization. If it doesn't, it'll tear itself apart.
"Don't fuck animals, don't eat animals that eat shit and anything else it can find, Don't fuck your own gender because you'll get diseases that are incurable Don't jack off because you're wasting seed, don't fuck your cousins because it'll fuck up the gene pool, don't worship idols because they're fake and gay and don't do anything and require human sacrifice, don't kill your fellow man, don't covet your fellow man's things because you will eventually try to take it after fantasizing how to obtain it; you will eventually give in to your lusts."
Among others.
The human brain seems to be hard wired to believe in some sort of higher power. If people dont believe in God then that often leaves a vaccum that something else will fill. You can already see that happening with people treating science, big daddy government or even atheism itself like some sort of dogma.
