Opinions, opinions ...

 Unpopular opinions I have as a Catholic amongst other Catholics (on the internet).

  • The fine-tuned argument is relatively compelling. Much more compelling than "born out of nothing" vacuum argument.
  • Theory of evolution is a theory and should be questioned. I am not sure if I'm a "of course I believe in Darwin's theory of evolution" type because that comes across as an odd qualifier when discussion of evolution arises. It's like saying "of course I don't hate gay people!" or "of course I support same-sex marriage, I mean it's just marriage in general!" in order clarify you aren't that type of Christian/person. Of course I don't hate the LGBT+ but I also don't support fake marriage that is same-sex "marriage." I mean that shit's hilarious.
  • Bishop Barron has his good days and bad days. 
  • The US Jesuits need a purge of their own ranks. 
  • I support married women in the work force if it works out time-wise when it comes to childrearing. 
  • NO is an inferior mass on most counts when compared to TLM and Anglican Ordinate. 
  • Rite switching - from Latin to Eastern, is akin to the non-religious who are on their spiritual journey trying out various religions to see what they like or Protestants church hopping. Looking at you Matt Fradd. It's one thing to attend a Byzantine Catholic Church because you prefer their masses or if it's the closest parish to you, but it's another to change rites all together. If Catholicism is Catholicism no matter the rite, then there would be no need to change. What's next, the slide into Orthodoxy? There's a slippery slope to be acknowledged here.
  • If you're a religious brother or sister, wearing your habit should be the first thing you do when you get up in the morning besides brushing your teeth, washing your face and eating breakfast. Karate Grandma Sister Jane without the habit is lame. Lame. Lame. Lame. 
  • Do away with weekly ethnic masses (i.e. Spanish, Polish), at least in the States. Masses should be in English and/or Latin. Ethnic masses definitely creates balkanization within parishes. Anyone who says otherwise isn't paying attention.
  • Catholic school education when done right is better than a public school and is equal to homeschooling.
