Roe vs. Wade overturned

Time to revisit the leak aspect of things. It turns out that there have been prior leaks, from conservative justices. But these leaks were not to the press, but to evangelical leaders, so they could prepare their messaging once the decision was officially announced. One of those who got a leak from Alito in the Hobby Lobby contraception case of 2014 disclosed it in June 2022 to Justice Roberts to help with the Dobbs leak investigation. Funny, Roberts hasn’t said a word about it!

Well the Vatican finally had it with a priest who got way too involved on the secular side of things. He has been a MAGA fan of Trump, an election denier and a zealously overenthusiastic anti-abortion activist in the USA. That last bit is my translation of the behavior of a cleric who put an aborted fetus on the altar in a church, made a video of it and posted it on social media to make a point, to which behavior his superiors apparently took exception. The Church has defrocked him for all that and for failing to obey his former bishop in Texas. There is no appeal. He has moved to Colorado and has been mouthing off about the "cancel culture" of the Church. And since he's no longer a priest, he is now apparently free to keep posting whatever he likes on Elon Musk's Twitter, where some of his tweets had previously been deemed blasphemous.

Anti-abortion priest Pavone defrocked for blasphemous posts

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has defrocked an anti-abortion U.S. priest, Frank Pavone, for what it said were “blasphemous communications on social media” as well as “persistent disobedience” of his bishop who repeatedly told him to stop his partisan activism for Donald Trump.

Saw an article in yesterday's Washington Post about this, and, yes, he sounds like a real whack job, someone who never should have been a priest in the first place. Undoubtedly he should have been defrocked a long time ago. Glad the Church took appropriate action!

This is hilarious, and also necessary. Logic, common sense, basic decency, empathy and humility are out the window for one of our two major parties. Humor is probably the absolute best weapon in these times. I really think some of the doom and gloom needs to be replaced with this type of weaponized humor.

Yeah, just avoid the rabbit hole of the various schisms that Satanism has already gone through. The original LeVay branch are pretty Randian in nature. TST hasn’t exactly been all roses either (atheism in general has a “white male” problem). But I absolutely am in favor of the approach that TST has been taking since its founding.
