This seems like a Paradox.

  1. The most conservative catholics are actually pretty “progressive” and they have been advocating for gay and women’s rights already decades ago because that’s what Jesus would do, you know. The modern self-proclaimed conservatives are just larping as christian-conservatives. This guy gets it.

  2. Nothing wrong with being a conservative nor a catholic as long as you are not a dickhead.

  3. Conservatives aren’t a monolith, same goes for liberals. Tarnishing everyone with the same brush always leads to disaster.

    As the age old saying goes: Just don’t be a cunt.

  4. Is this the guy that wanted the French aircraft carrier for the EU?

  5. Hate the sin and not the sinner.

    And the best way for the sinner to repent, is to allow the sinner to experience baseline respect.

  6. God had to be the one creating people gay, therefore being that can’t be sinful. I heard a priest say he’d rather marry gays who actually love each other truly before God then some hetero couple that will get a divorce few years later.

  7. Muricans bastardized their Christianity, let us not do the same. So as what other commenters said, Jezus would probably stick his neck out for equal rights

  8. You must be American if you think actual catholics are against gay rights

  9. If I remember right.
    Isn’t the whole “bible is against gay people” just coming from a shitty english translation of the old testament lmao?

  10. It’s really not, all the anti-gay shit bible thumpers endorse is usually made up and has no direct, black-on-white biblical passage to back it up. Especially if you adopt *sola scriptura* (like the Protestants do), you can’t really justify being a homophobe PoS.

  11. Fehlinger is a real conservative. Trump, Putin and their cronies are Reactionaries. Important difference.

  12. We are not in America. Wtf are you talking about?

  13. Anything is possible if you’re based enough.

    Most of the (online) hate I see from Catholics towards gay people comes from either

    A) Converts (the second worst kind of person imaginable) or

    B) Americans (the worst kind of person imaginable)

    So maybe Gunther here was just raised Catholic.

  14. If you endorse the paradox of being pro-gay rights and conservative catholic, I endorse the paradox of liking you and being gay and spiritual.

  15. German speaking catholics, at least the western German branch, are probably the least hostile group of people you will come across. Multiple Churches are literally flying pride flags here during pride month. My great uncle goes to church service every Sunday and probably never voted anything anyone else but the CDU, yet has a very close relationship to his lesbian daughter and her partner who is active in the Green Party. And I know multiple similar families like them. They even talk about politics etc. without fighting

    So I wouldn’t say it’s a paradox
