You want to talk about nuance? How about instead you all start discussing how to clean your house before you cast stones on the queers. Were not the ones running a kiddie touching ring thats been going on for over 1000 years. Before you start screeching “1000 years is a lie” and go on about how it was “modern society that created pedos”, heres a letter from St. Peter Damian quoting Burchard of Worms (from Decretum Burchardi) to Pope Leo IX where they’re discussing the problems of clergy taking advantage of children. St. Peters letter is from 1049; Burchard completed the Decretum no later than 1023. St. Peter Damian spent most of his life trying to reform the church to little avail. Maybe you should work on fixing yourselves instead of focusing on everyone else. Maybe try to be more like your saints.
That isn’t nuance, it’s unhinged rambling about stuff I never said, at all. I especially didn’t “cast stones on the queers”. I’m gay, I wouldn’t do that. I cherish gay rights and gay marriage deeply.
I also don’t think sexual or gender identity, or religion, is a baseline for someone doing something that horrible.
