Same with the Catholic Church. Still against gay marriage, yet somehow priests in Ireland are acknowledging that non-binary people exist?

Ah, yes. I recall that part in Genesis where Gd made Adam a man, Eve a woman, and Grey the non-binary person who saw the transphobic structures of Eden.

Idk about Ireland but in America there are bishops and priests standing up to it. Even though the cardinal archbishop of the city I'm in is a PoS (for a multitude of reasons) and has flat out said politics supersedes dogma, I went to Latin Mass with a friend and the priest explicitly rejected all the political angling of the Church in the sermon.

Good there are some good Catholic priests in America. In Ireland, we only have one, and he opened up his church for Easter Sunday mass. He was the only one to do it. It seems like Irish priests never cared about the people or God, because before they used to beat school children black and blue, kidnap children from their widowed fathers and molest children. Now they’re all woke.

I can’t speak to Ireland but here in the US there’s a growing number of traditionalist/Latin rite churches that are rejecting a lot of the woke politics that have been coming out of the Vatican. And it’s overwhelmingly younger families attending. If you told teenage Catholic me that there was gonna be a resurgence in young women veiling in church I would’ve laughed at you.

That’s good to see. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with the Church's stance on same sex unions, contraception and divorce (although I would like to see the divorce rate go down). But I can get married or civilly partnered in a registry office, I don’t need to do it at a church.

Yup that’s my thoughts exactly on hearing about this.
