Did you even read the article? These priests were on Grindr. That is different from experiencing temptation. "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

These instances of rejection of final rights - were perhaps some of these cases due to the fear of transmission prior to common understanding of the means of transmission? Same for the Bible studies? Again with the term "queer", t

Well for starters, while obviously both are sinful, for a priest to break his vow of celibacy with a woman would require fewer conceptually-separate sinful actions than for a priest to break his vow of celibacy with a man. The former would

You wanna talk about safe internet - the only think I think that is safe is solid gold bars like from Looney Toons. You wanna be safe - you wanna start up a nonprofit, grant yourself eehhhh SIX figure salaries. You wanna be safe? Build a bo

Because if my instincts cannot be altered to the point of having "neutral" heuristic judgment (again, whatever the heck that is even supposed to entail and even supposing that that is an ideal) then it is literally a benefit to th

You're talking about the "majority demographic" like they're some kind of parental figure. Like they have some kind of, uh, burden or something. No matter. By refusing to engage people who wouldn't even dream of e

These are good distinctions. But I think maybe the central question or line of questioning I was driving at was this: what is it that makes some given discriminatory judgment borne of animosity or pure arbitration without reason? How could

A few questions that are never really addressed in these discussions about "bias", "discrimination", "race", etc.: What is discrimination at a fundamental level? The term originally means to perceive somethin

Unfortunately, the people here in the comments attributing this phenomenon to feminism tend not to go deep enough. Yes, feminism is cancerous, but most of these teenage-level critiques just play into the hands of enemies by arguing on the s

My own exposure to him was primarily through his early works, which are at least worth reading to get a good grip on his intellectual genealogy. I think his foundational commitment to Hegel is ultimately what prevents him from repudiating P

The liberality of "abortion" and of "gender identity" fundamentally follow from the same misconceptions about sex, so the equivocation is quite warranted.

As someone who dressed up as Žižek at a Halloween party in my early twenties, I must say the man remains a puzzle to me. Or rather, it remains puzzling to me how he doesn't see the connections between the facets of culture that he crit

When you disintegrate the family unit, you stimulate the demand for outside intervention, especially in the form of state-backed "services". Like anything, because no one watches the watchers (except other watchers appointed appoi

The two might be conceptually-separable but they tend to go hand in hand in practice. Although maybe you have some different things in mind by "socially liberal" than I do. When I think "liberal" I think the liberal vein

Not sure what constitutes "abuse" in your book, since it is an extremely vague charge and men and women tend to exercise their malevolence in ways befitting their own aptitudes (men typically with more brawn, women typically with

This is neat and all, but the problem is very much downstream of the children-out-of-wedlock problem, which is downstream of so-called "sexual liberation" (a misuse of both the term "sexual" and the term "liberation

How do you define "liberal"? Per my understanding, the United States and liberalism are almost synonymous. The US is basically the representative of liberalism on the world stage, at least that's how most of the world tends t

As someone who is certainly on-board with the greater fight against the Devil's iconography, I can't foresee this kind of legislation as having an overall good impact, especially with how popular commercial VPNs have become and ho

Surprise: most people in this community have a theologically-impoverished view of mankind. Not sure what you were expecting from an aggregator site run by venture capitalists.

Obviously not every convo needs to be a duh-bate . but "works for me/them" is a pretty low bar for veracity or moral permissibility.

I stopped going to a gym a few years ago and nowadays do everything at home. I'll try to do HIIT a few times per week, splitting that up between running and jumping rope. On top of that, my regular training integrates a lot of calisthe
