Who the president is, is not really relevant. It's not like the president will suddenly go against the constitution or something.
Bring serious, it's kind of important due to the Pope's infallibility.
- ekianjo 1y agoIrrelevant analogy. You can't change country super easily but you can stop being a Catholic in 5 seconds if you decide it.
- bevesce- 1y agoApostasy is not that quick or easy. Depending on a country the church can fight you on that.
- ekianjo 1y agoAny example?
- disgruntledphd2 1y ago> you can stop being a Catholic in 5 seconds if you decide it. How does one officially leave the Catholic Church? Sure, you can stop attending church and taking communion, but you're still on a list somewhere in your parish(es).
- ekianjo 1y agoBeing on a list means what? How does that impact your life?
- ben_w 1y agoSome places have church tax based on your religion, such as Germany. I've heard varying claims from locals about the difficulty of leaving organised religion, though for me as an Auslander it was as easy as just saying "none" in the right box when setting up my tax ID.
- ekianjo 1y agoI am aware of Germany but that's an exception. In no other (developed) country are your taxes tied to your faith.
