‘Finally, A Church That Is Acting Like A Church’: Iowa Diocese Bans Preferred Pronouns, Insists On Traditional Bathrooms, Locker Rooms | The Daily Wire "One Catholic diocese is leading the charge against wokeism, insisting that students and worshippers use bathrooms and lockers consistent with their biological sex and banning the use of preferred pronouns in schools and parishes. Woke activists have reacted with anger that the Diocese of Des Moines in Iowa, which started implementing its anti-woke policies on Monday, is openly fighting back against the woke agenda while supporters have gratefully acknowledged the efforts of the diocese". “Any parochial, organizational, or institutional documentation which requires the designation of a person’s sex is to reflect that person’s biological sex,” the diocese writes. “No person may designate a ‘preferred pronoun’ in speech or in writing when related to ministry activities of any kind, nor are parishes, organizations, or institutions to permit such a designation. To permit the designation of a preferred pronoun, while intended as an act of charity, instead promotes the dissociation of biological sex and ‘gender’ and thereby confuses or denies personal integrity.” “All persons must use the bathroom or locker room that matches their biological sex,” the diocese continues. “Diocesan parishes, organizations, and institutions are permitted to have individual-use bathrooms that are available for all members of the respective community.” “Finally, a church that is acting like a church,” one supporter declared, according to The Daily Mail."
The Catholic Church is one of the most oppressive regimes in human history. So this is pretty tame for them but the banning of pronoun use seems oppressive in a very old school Catholic way.
The only reason the Catholic Church is pro life is because young boys can’t get pregnant. what would happen if a she wanted to be a he and then he became a choir boy?
Churches acting like Bible Christians, they still exist? “…. Local Christians were among the first responders to the massive earthquake in Turkey and Syria that left more than 20,000 people dead and tens of thousands injured. They just don’t know how to make sense of it…” https://www.christianitytoday.com/n...-syria-christians-churches-prayer-relief.html
Sounds like the perfect religion for "Fortune Teller", as long as the local congregation is mostly white and fundamentalist enough to meet his standards.
Here's an idea. If a pronoun is important to you then change your first, middle, or last name to fit what you like. Then, keep as friends anyone who recognizes your first, middle or last name combination, remembers them, and uses them...and defriend anyone who doesn't. But to ask society to remember any number of a growing new list pronouns to address perceptions about reproductive abilities seems to me to be a bit arrogant. Nobody really knows what your reproductive abilities are so pronouns come down, always, to perception. Always have. Nobody has the right to pull down your pants and inspect your reproductive abilities. Likewise, you don't have the right to pull down your pants in front of society and show people what your abilities are. In polite society, we relegate important identification to our first, middle, and last names not to mention our titles and post scripts like Mr. Reginald Warner Thomson the Third. We have license to be as complex, and as arrogant as we like with our names and surnames and titles. Extending that arrogance to how you are perceived in terms of reproductive abilities feels a lot like a big dick contest when you just met someone. Yes it might be good for me to know if you are a hermaphrodite through biology or through psychology, but i don't need to know that if my job is to conduct business with you, business having nothing to do with reproductive abilities. If you are a hermaphrodite through psychology, then change your first, middle, or last name, or your title. I'm in favor of forgiving any culture which tamps down on mankinds most pernicious sin: the desire to be special. Pronouns are not designed to be exacting and specific. They are estimates that facilitate polite society.
%% They already have, thou shalt not bear false witness covers that nonsense. And like one Christian scientist says ''no such thing as white'' people. If anyone thinks other wise,like the talking snake media, put a piece of white paper next to your skin
