(3,396 posts)Your wifes identity is supporting, as you said, a 500 year old culture that was, is, and will continue to be disastrous for humans. I am sorry but that culture has brought upon countless terrors over the years. So yeah I am sorry but I do not understand people that continue to support it. Want to do local good? There are any number of non-profits that one could work through. Looking for social outlets? There are plenty of community groups that one could join.
Supporting an organization that sits upon untold riches, many of which begotten through theft or other illegal activities throughout the years, that covers up sexual assaults, rapes, molestations
. On and on, has and does support subjugation of women
.. Sorry religion in general is a blight on our species and the catholic church ranks high on the list of the worst.
Now am I saying that YOUR wife is a terrible person? Absolutely NOT. I do very much winder why and how people can support an organization that has repeatedly again and again proven that they are NOT the thing that their parishioners seek.
