Sure, Providence does not resemble a war-torn city! That’s a completely ignorant statement.

The PVD food scene is pretty good and it def punches above its weight in the food and arts scene. What restaurants are you eating at where the frozen food aisle tastes better?! You can made a good faith argument like the city has bad politics and infrastructure and I’d agree with you. Instead you’ve engaged in repeated hyperbole which comes across as obnoxious.

Can’t disagree that some people want to lump in all priests in that category and that isn’t fair. There are many good people in the church and Catholicism isn’t a monolith. That being said, the coverup of child sex abuse was institutional, a world-wide problem and spanned decades. People have a right to be upset and feel their trust destroyed and faith shaken. I think all reasonable can agree on that. I’m also in the camp that feels that Bishop Tobin is an asshole and his comments toward the LBGTQ community are petty, disrespectful and untrue. Glad to see him go!

If you’re more terrified by drag queens then you are about an organization that repeatedly enabled child molestation then you have some serious soul searching to do. Your words are that of a hateful lil bigot and I pity you. Stop trying to demonize a harmless activity (reading to kids) and equate it with pedophilia. It’s a nonsense argument and the fact that you can’t see that just proves your ignorance. It’s perverse rhetoric like yours that fuels hate against the LGBTQ community. And we see where that can lead. Please go back to the cesspool from whence you came!

Real nice whataboutism, lol. But seriously what bothers me about the church isn’t that it has a sex abuse problem, it’s that they deliberately covered it up for decades, not just in this country but in countries around the world. Pretty fucking sick and completely indefensible. It’s the institutional rot of the church and their sanctimonious moralizing that is especially galling. See the difference?!
