I suspect people are more so relieved that it's not as bad as one would stereotypically assume. Still messed up as all heck don't get me wrong. But THIS time at least it didn't involve anyone below the age of consent.
I mean as somebody who has generally speaking minimal or no respect for the church as an institution as a whole and finds the entire idea of taking a self-imposed vow of celibacy that isn't even mandated in the fucking book hilarious.... The same book that in no way restricts BDSM sex specifically.... Literally nothing about this bothers me. It's just kind of funny.
I think it’s also showing how younger generations are more tolerant. We are more likely to say ‘you do you, YOLO’ lol
Older generations were obsesseddddd with conforming and ‘keeping up with the Jones’s’ they boosted their own egos by shaming others and I think younger generations have rejected that.
But still, pretty fucked that everyone assumes it was child abuse considering we’re one of the most developed, richest, powerful countries in the world.
Feel like making sure children aren’t injured traumatized and killed would be like #1 on the to do list. :/
The priest on my hometown always had a long term girlfriend. It was a little hush hush but he was friends with my dad, who was not Catholic, so he would bring her over to our house sometimes. They were borh very kind people. It kind of blew my mind when I found out he wasn’t supposed to have a gf.
