24. moran borg is assimilating more subversives, choice is closet or lobotomy
there are very interesting threads here. First off, if I were to go demonstrate or something like that, my message would be, the Vatican can put priests back in the closet, but don't try it with students (it's a polite way of saying GFY to the church bureaucracy) - but then I come from a long line of north European Protestant pricks, so all I can offer is solidarity. Second, it is _very_ interesting that the Jesuits are being stuffed into the ideological can. Strange crew that they are (based on my limited historical understanding), they were always a bastion of preservation and advancement of knowledge in the very presence of the hierarchy which wielded them as a tool and also threatened that enlightenment. The ignorami molloch which demands faith and adherence to the collective and respect for hierarchy and material power over volition and conscious responsibility for individual decisions, and which is utterly nondenominational - I see little difference between Freeper 'morans' and a church hierarchy which winks at gay orgies in seminaries but then demands that the congregation fall in line - is going after one of its more potent roadblocks, it would seem.

Venceremos!
