Why Men Matter

If that had been a homily at my church, I may have paid more attention that day. Well-thought and relevant. Our priests were good men, but gawd were they dry and out of touch come Sunday morning. A lot of good messages, a poem I'd never read, and a hat-tip to a man that shaped my thoughts about all kinds of love and human interaction from an early age - I won't hold his Christianity against him, Lewis was brilliant.

That being said, I can't get past both the misandry and misogyny that are inherent in Church teachings and beliefs. The best Catholics are the ones (of both genders) that can look past that, and make the best of those teachings without incorporating those elements. And, of course, not engaging in the briefly mention 'scandals', so to speak. I...am not a good Catholic. I cannot stand with a religion (or any philosphy/theology/etc) that reduces genders to what they think they ought to be.

yeah, that organisation should really stop talking, because they do more harm than good currently, everywhere they are.

This article is revolting and reminds me why I am no longer a practicing Catholic. The theme here is clear: Men are somehow defective and bad and must struggle against their own flawed nature to have any value at all which is measured only by what they can do for others. Women on the other hand are simply perfect as they are. I want nothing to do with this misandry and gynocentrism. Downvoted.
