Contrary to what you would think, when catholics preach our faith to you, we don’t do it with hatred, or with a holier-than-thou attitude. We do it with a burning, loving, fire in our hearts, certain that there is an overflowing source of happiness that is open to all. We preach shamelessly and possibly even annoyingly, because we want all of you non-believers to be this happy… We love you, and want you to be filled with happiness.
So next time you’re rolling your eyes at us, looking at us with contempt, condescendingly or even thinking that we are evil… Try to remember that the only emotion with which we look at you non-believers is solely and most definitely love. Just love.
Atheists, I fucking love you.
Isn’t it curious how non-believers’ favorite ‘expletives’ are usually things like ‘Goddammit!’ and ‘Christ!’
Carl Sagan died an atheist, I imagine his meeting with God went as follows:
The moral and spiritual relativism of our society can make the Church’s teaching on sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular appear bizarre, out of touch, and even intolerant. Yet when people cease to base their moral judgments on objective truth, confusion results. All too often they fall victim to lies about the meaning of true freedom and authentic self-expression. True Christian freedom is not first of all an acceptance of one’s own desire to do what one wants, but an acceptance of the truth which sets us free (cf. Jn 8.32).

On Being Catholic and Flirting with Orientalism, Buddhism, New Age, pseudo-sciency crap (i.e. The Secret), and others.
The Catholic Church is the best of the best. She is classy, she has style, she is smart, she is good people, she is decent. She’s not your laid back, slutty little neighbor who won’t mind you dating other people at the same time. She’s giving you the best of the best of the best. Bitch, you don’t need anything besides the best of the best of the best. If you insist on screwing around on her, do us all a favor a take a pick.
In all seriousness though, this is sinful behavior, so quit it.
The Nicene Creed. Read it, believe it, f’ing profess that baby.
While contemporary society considers itself to be more progressive and tolerant than at any time in the past, the disabled or handicapped in the womb are now deliberately targeted and killed.
American Catholic clergy are now vanishingly unlikely to abuse children sexually.
