    So….don’t go to those churches? I mean, I don’t, but I don’t go to any other places of worship if I can help it either.

    But goddamn girl, chill the fuck out.

    Edit:

    “I will not let Jesus Christ be mocked,” Gomez said while standing in front of a church with a rainbow flag. “All this Satanic and pedophile garbage in the Olympics, in our churches, and in our government will end when Christians and Catholics start fighting back.”

    Ok how is this not a legitimate threat of violence? And yes, clutch those pearls over the Olympics. Also, Catholics are Christians. They were the first Christians. Actually pretty much the only Christians until Martin Luther and the Reformation. Goddamn girl just shut up.

      I don’t think they were the only Christians. There are the orthodox, and a couple of “heresies” that existed. The schism with the orthodox is complicated though. Both sides argue they were the original and the other went rogue.

      I think the Coptic Church (AD 41), Greek Orthodox Church (1st century AD), Syriac Church (514 AD) would like to have a word.

          The people who follow those religions would disagree. The Copts even have their own Pope, so it’s pretty hard to consider them “Catholic” in any normal sense of the word.
