Catholics have more freedom?

[Pinkandgirly]

It made me happy to see Pope accept LGBTQ without a question. For a short time I was attending the Kingdom Hall I was treated horribly for the way I dress not only that but when I told th sisters I was in the middle of a divorce they give me the nasty ugly looks.

As a catholic I can go to mass wearing my crop top and no one would noticed. I don't have to give my where abouts to the priest.

I feel catholics are more accepting if you divorce or you are divorced guys don't care you won't be judge. I made to choice to stay catholic. I could be showing my pussy and no one would care. I was wearing a spaghetti strap dress at the kingdom hall and a elder told me to speak to him after th meeting. I tough at first I was going to be asked to be a pioneer Iwas wrong instead I got judge.

Also I started dating this guy at my job and the sister in the congregation lost it. I was looked down and other Jehovas Witness parents would not allowed their kids to play with my daughter called me a bad example. I saw how Jehovas witness kids would not include me daughter. Catholics we are more flexible.

Well, we CAN drink, dance, gamble, and swear (and on a good day, all four at once!), which other denominations can't (the JWs, in particular, don't celebrate birthdays, which is stupid but understandable, or even VOTE, which is just insane), but if you're telling them you're divorced and they're reacting with apparent apathy, they're probably assuming you're not Catholic, since the Church still doesn't allow that. That, or they're emphasizing the "Catholic" part, rather than the "Roman" one. Or they're Irish.

You'd also face some real opprobrium if you showed up exposing yourself; don't mistake tolerance for acceptance.

It sounds, though, like you've found a more accepting parish that's a better fit for you, and that's a good thing.

This has only been true in the Catholic church under this pope, he is more concerned with leftist politics and being woke than with the doctrines of Catholicism. Never in the past 700 years has a pope resigned and then suddenly Benedict does? Out of 266 popes over 2,000 years, Francis is the first pope EVER from the Western Hemisphere, and the first pope who is a Jesuit. So it looks like Benedict was somehow forced out by the left and Francis installed to push the left agenda.

Ah yes, because when you think "liberal denominations of Christianity", you think "Catholicism". And when you think "Eastern Hemisphere", you think "England".

Benny EXPLICITLY SAID before taking office that he wouldn't be Pope long; not everything is the results of an enormous conspiracy.

I am not a Christian, but it shows from what you say, that Catholics have two of the most important Christian attributes... forgiveness and tollerance.

For me, the way you were treated by the JW was appaling. It would put me off ever considering joining them!

The Pope said recently that there is too much faggotry in the seminary also have a bit of class in the house of God.
