Given there is a legitimate, full-blown schism within the Catholic Church right now, and you really cannot discuss it on FB, it follows that most religious discussion will not meet their community standards on the grounds they are divisive.
Pedophilia and sexual abuse are a massive problem in the Catholic Church at the moment. However, its a problem in many Christian churches period.
Who knows what’s coming, except that it will be like a thief in the night.
Well... and then there’s the “gay” issue. Which gets another bunch of hot buttons pushed.
I’ve been worshiping a long time as a Crazy Evangelical. A Christ-shell Baptist as it were, most of the time, with sojourns into the Wesleyan community from time to time. I have a C. S. Lewis like view of “mere Christianity” and believe that when the churches as a group believe in the trans-denominational work of Christ well enough to pray that Satan be denied to eat their lunches, then we will see visible results of prevailing against the gates of hell. But if we who care about believing in Christ are lackadaisical about God, most certainly Satan will eat our lunches.
But isn’t it funny that it might not be secular people at all, but enemies in the Christian organization, that are the reason for this problem. Facebook itself, a secular organization, might be fairly innocent here, believe it or not. They don’t dig these problems. “Bunch of squabbling Catholics” might be how they see it. And deal out slaps on the wrist for the brouhaha.
Well, what happens when a faction walks out of a big established church hierarchy that has a lot of resources? The “gay” faction won’t seize the Vatican, that’s virtually sure. But they may seize individual congregations. Maybe something like “Rainbow Catholics” may appear, God forbid it does, but it could.
