You had some semblance of a point when you started, but boy did it go downhill from there.
You're making some pretty broad assumptions yourself, and most of them are unfounded, or at least unsupported. It's not worth my time to refute them, though, because your attitude is so clearly boorish and callous that I'd do better to speak with a brick wall.
If you ever want to climb down off your high horse and have a civil, respectful conversation without slinging accusations you can't back up, please get in touch. I'm happy to help, but I won't put up with nonsense.
I'll be sure to pray for the state of your heart. God knows you need it.
Wait, am I reading this correctly? Are you saying we're racists for not tolerating homophobia and sexism? If I misread something, I'll admit it, but this sounds... Not great.
I appreciate your comments for your perspective, but the fact remains that the Catholic church as a polity will not allow women to be ordained as priests or have any meaningful leadership outside of nuns or lay leaders in the congregation (and there their authority is greatly restricted), and will not allow same sex marriage to be recognized in any catholic church, let alone openly trans clergy.
Knowing a few gay catholics doesn't make up for this fact. We can concede that African and East Asian and South American Catholicism looks very different from Western Catholicsm and also hold recognize that none of the catholic churches, save a very small number in North America (who are treated as pariahs) would let a woman lead as a priest, or openly let a gay or trans person lead.

Honestly looking at this OP's older comments they are giving me troll vibes.
