It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The overwhelming majority of lay catholics are pro-choice.
They’ll still support an institution that cries about it
They'll support a local venue that hosts religious festivals and ceremonies, regardless of the leadership's position on a single hot-button topic.
Its the same way that they support the venue when the institution opposes the death penalty or advocates in favor of open borders and refugee resettlement or debt forgiveness or civil rights for native peoples. I only fucking wish lay Catholics were fully on board with the stated mission of the Catholic Church. Hell, I wish the majority-Catholic SCOTUS was as doctrinaire as your average priest. The US would be a significantly better place.
At this point, I'd take a Catholic Church overhaul of the Texas juvenille justice system on the grounds of lesser evil. At least the Catholics would install some new AC units and improve the food quality in the child-rape-centers the state is running.
Catholics installing new AC units so their priests can be comfy while they rape the kids
